    Even at that I wouldn't buy one for 2-3 years so they get the bugs worked out. I figured I'm gonna buy a new truck later this year and get a new one around 2020.

    I'm hoping to get a new vehicle after I'm out of college for a year or two. What I get depends on if I want a two rig for this beast or a little dd

    I'm thinking I will get a DD if I don't like the redesign (whenever that happens) and keep the taco for a long time!

    Relubed the TC's and put on some new wiper blades yesterday. Need to throw some paint on the toolbox and rear bumper, they're starting to flake a bit.

    Been shopping around for winches to pick up in the summer. I was set on an xrc10 comp but saw some good reviews about the badlands 12k winch from HF (judge me) for $299, but came across the 2nd gen xrc winches that roll out mid this month through May. From what I can see I could get a 9.5K comp for $449 or a 12K comp for $549. I think the 9.5 would be plenty but that extra 2.5K for $100 more is quite tempting. I'll see whats up with them as they release and get some good testing. Also the basic xrc's seem to be like the old x2o's and the new x2o's are much much better.

    Going to do some maintenance next week since I'll have a few days off school.

    Change oil to Pennzoil Platinum
    Clean MAF
    Clean Throttle Body
    Rotate Tires
    Spark Plugs
    Techron injector cleaner which I figure is worth a shot, can't hurt any.
