Hi all. Bought a 2001 TRD 4WD Crew last month.

Replaced stock head unit with Parrot Asteroid Smart. Running Waze gps on the headunit, streaming music and BT phone working great. Up next is tailgate handle mounted reverse camera.

 

Welcome to the site, it's the most expensive one you'll ever visit! Nice truck by the way!

 

Thanks. Same back atcha. What mtb are you running?

 

Welcome, where did you find it

 

Parked on the side of the road with a sign on it, lol. I was just driving to my parent's house to help my son with something. Called the guy, drove it and bought it a few days later. He was the second owner, but related to the first owner, so one family vehicle?

 

Welcome to the club!Be prepared for your wallet and saving's accounts to deplete!

 

I'm a product ambassador for a company called Spot out of Golden, CO. I have their Rollik and Rocker 650B+ setup. And for slopestyle duties I have a Trek Ticket S R-Dog edition.

 

Awesome, love the Spot Rocker. Did they go back to Reynolds 851 steel? I saw they killed the Rocker for a little bit and had the honey badger. I don't think that one sold well.

How are you liking HT 27.5+? 3" tires?

 

They did go back to 851. And my dad has a Honey Badger with a 130mm fork that he loves. The Rocker is amazing, I love how well it rides. I'm running a 2.8" rear and a 3" front. Totally unbelievable once I got some tougher tires and added a dropper!

 

I had a road bike that was 851. Loved it. I still have my old Ibis Mojo with Moron tubing ( Tange Prestige). My everyday mtb now is carbon and while it does have some compliance engineered in, I miss the feel of steel. Looking at the Vassago VerHauen. It's True Temper XO and has the added benefit of being built in the US.

 

good looking truck lookin forward to future mods, I have to ask, whats your name mean? do you own a lotus? Is it some play on pronunciation?

 

Yup on both accounts. I used to own an M100 Elan which is a Lotus with an Isuzu motor. (I'm azn, so it's ok ;-) ) This has been been my internet handle for a while.

 

So so so so so so so so so so sooooooooooo..........








very true.

 

tl:dr Volkswagen just bought me a new Taco exhaust!

So my previous vehicle was a VW Golf Sportwagen TDI. As part of the whole dieselgate scandal, VW sent me 2 gift cards each worth $500. One was a Visa card that could be used anywhere and the other could only be used at a VW dealership. I recently found out that I didn't have to buy something VW, I just had to buy it through the dealership. I was already talking to someone that works at a dealership and they have a Toyota sister store. I asked about TRD stuff for this truck, specifically the exhaust. He said that was discontinued, but they had an account at Magnaflow. He hooked me up with a Magnaflow cat back for the Taco and VW paid for it! $500 shipped to my door. LOL

 

Wow, sorry for not being on here. FB version took up my time. Here's a couple pics of the Old Gal. Had a few things done in the past 3 years. 5100s with small lift. T4R Trail wheels and a few other things.

 

...and den...
