They tend to mark the used vehicles on the high end of the scale and they will not negotiate at all. Would have bought from them again though if they had what I wanted....instead I ended up at a Jeep dealer to buy my Runner.
Where in MT are you?
I'm about an hour east of Billings.
Asked about Ressler because Lithia owns dealership in Blgs and prefer to do business with smaller companies.

Congrats on the new 4Runner. IMO white is on the best color, after blue.

My son just got a really nice 1st gen Tacoma, 2000, and I've been plodding through the "What Have You Done With Your Tacoma Today," thread about six pages per day. I'm just up to the part in 2011 where you had your fender flares painted to match. So...the Tacoma gets sold? Way to spoil the end for me...

It is a cool area, I'm over that way quite a bit.

Its silver....white was my first choice, then blue. Don't see many blues around though.

Sorry to ruin the ending for you. If it makes you feel any better I could keep updating the thread with things that dad does to the truck. Like replace my sliders with running boards, put an icky diamond plate tool box in the back...sigh...
There's still plenty of mods you need to read about, keep going.

Hope your son loves the truck, it should serve him well for many years

Like I said, my only complaint is the pricing on the used vehicles. My folks and I have not had any issue dealing with them. If you are looking at used vehicles let me know, I drive past the lot a couple times a day. Would be happy to scope out anything you find, make sure its worth your time

Howdy. I don't make it to the eastern part of the state much but I do hope to get to Makoshika sometime this year.

Might have something to add to the list already. Shift knobs. I want the gear knob to be shorter and the 4wd knob to be taller. I can't reach the 4wd without leaning way over and around the gears shifter. Toyota kinda failed when they placed the 4wd knob next to the passenger and not the driver. Double fail by creating a roadblock with the shifter.

Must investigate options.

Might not really be a shorter shifter knob but the FJ one like you see here is less bulky and I feel it better matches the look of the 4wd knob. I also find the latter a little awkward to reach at times

Thanks for the link! Minor annoyance overall but sometimes those little things just get to me...

Been there a few times. There was some interest on TW to do a few meets this summer, Gravellies/Red Rocks may be one of those trips. Do you bring the RTT out when you visit?

I just got the RTT last summer, and haven't been out there since I got it yet. But I will in the near future.

Went for a sightseeing drive today. Didn't see much though, it was too windy! No birds or animals of any kind out today.

Had to stop for gas in Virginia City - and for $0.37 per gallon who could pass it up?!?
