As it sits 03/13
Hello everyone, welcome to me!
Just signed the papers!
You bas****s are stuck with me now
To those who care:
Magnetic grey Limited
full-time 4x4, center diff., XREAS susp.
Black Leather, Heated Front Seats
Sunroof
Nav./JBL system with a Party button
Remote Engine Start, Smart Keys
Carpet/cargo Mats
Roofrack crossbars
Third row seating
MSRP $43953
Didnt pay MSRP, but guess if you cant wait you gotta bend over, but it had to happen and really think it is a beautiful rig, sure seems alot nicer than my '87 runner. Atleast we didnt pay MSRP or those absurd dealer perceived consumer demand fees that some people claim up to 5K, are you kidding.
Wish the limited came with a rear locker but that can always be added later when i get over my sticker shock.
This is my wifes rig. It will see LOTS of snowy/icy roads where we live and plenty of car camping in Death Valley and all over the Sierras where a serious 4x4 is not required (read: Rubicon/Johnson Valley/etc..). We have my Toyotas for that!
and YES- 40K is outta control. It is a Toyota though so hope it will last as long as my '85 and '87 i have. Ive been saving since i got those
really though- we live a distance from dealer so by the time done dealin' it was dark, ate dinner with a toast, then headed home and now I am working a 48hr shift(FF/Medic) so it is torture like a bowl of ice cream in a window display.
Rig has some amazing stuff on it. Really reminds me of the 1st gen. '06 Lexus GX's we were shopping for when this fell into our arms.
NAV. system is truely unbelievable and gonna take forever to master.
Smart key is simply cool and wicked high tech- hope we never lose one
JBL system ROCKS and the PARTY button goes boomboom. Bluetooth sounds great and was flawless easy setup
Leather is soft and beautiful, seats are very comfy esp. with the seatheaters on. Dont know how a tall guy would fit, but at 5'9" i never felt like the ceiling/sunroof height was low. plenty of travel room in 1st and 2nd rows, 3rd is definitely for kids or a short ride. Really cool how the middle of the 2nd row folds down with the 2 outside seats still up- high utility if you are a skier/snowboarder (we live in a ski town) I will show pics- promise
Full-time 4x4 does not have a heavy feel to steering at slow/high speeds. Tight steering feel, little body roll, great ride w/no harsh feel though it is not a cadillac- nor do i want one. I'll let you know what snow/ice/washboard/sand driving are like soon enough.
4x4 is HIGHtech!! Gonna have to completely reprogram myself when driving this thing. I havent tried it out for real yet- but fear not. I have heard wonders about the ATRAC/DAC/XRAES/WTF?? and know it is more than capable if you know what you are doing- it is not lock the hubs and go like an '85.
Cant wait to get sliders on this. Bumpers $oon after-must recover$$. Roofrack and a slide for my ARB fridge.
more to come -and pics prolly Mon.
Feel free to add any comments or mods. info., ask any Q's- you cant hurt my skin cuz I'm a

Look forward to discovering the plus/minus of a 5th gen. with you all.
