Hey shootmymime is that a 73 Mach 1 in the background?? I am just south of you a bit in Lehi, Utah. My nephew and a lot of my former students live in Rexburg. I taught elementary school until two weeks ago when I took early retirement from breaking my lumbar spine, neck, and left leg. I've had...

Don't be afraid to speak up if you only have one half of the equation for sale! I'd rather buy from two people here than one random on eBay. :)

I am one of few that seems to like the factory rake! :) I'm adding FJ TT Springs next week and keeping my xreas shocks. Just want to go up one more inch at all 4 corners. So something like the daystar lift I had on my old 4R would be great. Mostly for looks, but tire fitment is even more important.

Sorry about all of the terrible misspellings in my previous post. Now I can see it barely made sense. I was typing it on my phone without my glasses on. Sometimes I wonder if autocorrect is just there to make us all look stupid! :) Thanks again for all of you. I hope you've had a great...

Believe me my friend...I've been there. I have been to heck and back the past few years. I'm learning to appreciate the small things in life more than ever. I've has three major spine surgeries, three left leg rebuilds, and a failing kidney and liver and subsequent gall bladder removal and...

Near $2.35 a gallon in most places around here. Plus I own a share in an oil well that my grandfather left to me, so get a pretty ridiculously pricey check quarterly. On top of that I make more money for working less hours and my pension payout just jumped last year. I'm excited. How are fuel...

Wow This is beautiful! I'm wondering how much it would cost to get it to Utah. :) Those things sell in about five minutes here, especially when the first snowflake hits the ground and everybody freaks out! :) I'm selling my 2012 Tacoma TX Pro. If it goes soon... I may just be giving you a...

Totally agree with you Thai. That's precisely why we went with the last of the 08's instead of the first of the 09's. They just looked better to me as the newer one looks like a Forrester and a Cherokee mated (I guess that is who Honda was trying to compete with). I know part of the issue was...

I'm sorry, but this is the funniest post I've ever read here. Talking about a 4Runner and a Pilot in a pull-off reminds me of somebody saying they'd not even look at a Camry for a family car because a Corvette destroys it in the quarter mile, has a nicer interior, and those awesome composite...

$30,000 OTD on a trail with less than 6,000 miles that presumably has never been titled for? That's not getting ripped off where I come from. That's a really really nice deal. If it had been used (meaning titled before, which is another argument entirely...... we all know depreciation happens...

It has never hurt me before. I've always paid invoice or less by saying that because they know the sales process will take 10 minutes out of their day. I show up, get passed on to finance, they fill everything out, I sign in a few places. Hand them the check. I drive away. It's easy money, and...

OTD with all taxes, or are you guys in sales tax free states? Invoice is around $36,500 if I remember correctly, and with taxes being probably another 2 grand then $37,500 out the door would be a crazy good deal for sure. I'm negotiating on a 2011 right now and Toyota isn't offering any...

2011's are $35,500 all day with KDSS and no-NAV. Toyota is realizing they have a problem and aren't getting sales like they expected. A lot of folks aren't turning in their leases on 2008's as Toyota expected and switching out to 2011's because they prefer the Torsen and/or V8's. I spoke to...

And once again I remember why this board kicks so much butt. The knowledge level here is astounding. It is like everybody that posts has a master mechanic level knowledge of the 4R. You don't see that on many enthusiast boards. I think the thing would be nearly identical in features to my 08 FJ...

I have been a member here for a long time. I owned a 2008 Trail Teams FJ... sold it because somebody was willing to buy it for what I paid new. I owned a 2007 4Runner Sport with a V8 that I LOVED. But the dealership didn't tell me they were hiding a smoke odor. It creeped up a month after I...
