    Hey all,

    I've put in the order for a 2010 DC OR in Pyrite Mica. My salesman says I should see the truck by Thanksgiving.

    In any case, I've been spending pretty much all my free time crusing around the forums here absorbing all the info on quirks, maintenance, mods, etc, and I can't thank you all enough for the wealth of information here.

    I'm looking at a couple of the free/cheap mods right off the bat(painting the badges black/moving the differential breather/ and mebbe even the redneck handrest :) ), and moving on to bigger and better mods as more cash becomes available.

    Sorry to all the Chi-area guys who are meeting up later this month - I'll be just a few weeks late to join the party.

    My previous ride - a '04 Mazda6 had a pretty lively community behind it, and from the looks of things here, Taco owners are just as fanatical :D

    Thanks again for all the info, and I look forward to being a part of this community.

    Jeff

    Rob1 - As far as the TSB, I looked at the list here, and didn't see any bulletins out for the '10s. Is there something I missed?

    Everybody else, thanks for the welcomes!

    I appreciate all the pick-up offers, especially considering you all don't know me from the registered offender down the street. Unfortunately, and inconveniently, I have to work the 14th, and can't make it anyway. Next chi-area meet, though, I'll be there.
