    Hey, nice site. I was a member at the Cummins site till the $5.00 a gal diesel hit this summer in my area. Decided that if I need to tow...rent a bigger truck??
    So...the mistake Toyota made was $800 plus under invoice and 0% for 5 yrs... HOW CAN YOU NOT BUY ONE OF THESE TRUCKS WITH THAT DEAL AND THIS ECONOMY???? LOL

    2008 dbl.cab sr5 trd LB 6auto sport in silver....
    a lot of fun so far....all 75 miles....havent even broken wind in it yet
    think I have an issue already though... the gas needle is broken, doesnt move from full as fast as the cummins did...amazing.

    promised myself I'd stay stock for a good while....ok that is long enough....

    afe makes a tacoma drop in? Love afe, cool.
    anyone ever do the homedepot ram air trick to airbox with results? Positive results in low end and mpg? My immediate goals!!

    Looking forward to dropping my saracsm in here fellas...oh and I am way too old for my space......
    -Ken
