    Yeah just he/said she/said. More of the same unfortunately. Looking for something that has more teeth to it, perhaps a release from Toyota Corporate for a TSB. Nothing yet...

    Got the tailgate decals done, too. Why Toyota didn't black out the stamped tailgates from the factory is beyond me...image.jpg

    Bmunster: Have you had any issues with the clutch? I'm seeing other posts indicating they have problems. I'm seriously considering getting the manual trd off road this year. Thanks!

    The only small complaint I have about the manual 6 speed is that the rear gear is too high. It tachs at 2,200 rpm at 65 MPH. A 3.23 rear gear would be much better.

    I love the 6 speed. I feel like I have the power I need when I want it. Decent pickup speed. I came from an STi before this, so I knew it'd be slower. I had to grease the clutch once when it started making some squeaking, otherwise very happy!

    Thanks! There are tons of them on eBay...less than $20! I had a decal place put them on. $20 install. I guess they're kinda touchy...

    Had mine for a little more than 2 Months, my everyday average is a solid 20. That is a mix of old twisty rural roads, city, and highway driving combined.

    Mine's pretty close to this---I do around 80% city driving and get around 17mpg average. When I fill up a fresh tank and jump right on the hwy I'll see 20-21mpg
