Sold. Very sad day that was only slightly brightened by the second hand value of these trucks.

*** SOLD *** Life changes are making me part with my beloved Gen 5. It has only 16500 miles and it has been very well taken care of. After spending a lot of time searching for the right vehicle (Trail, Grey, Premium, KDSS) I bought it new from Toyota Santa Monica. It was meant to be sold in...

I just wanted to say that the truck looks awesome. I don't know if you remember but we bought ours and showed up at the forums at pretty much the same time two years ago, I really like what you did with it since then. That's all. :)

Yeah I'm asking the same.

Hey, I'll just throw this out there: Does anyone have a Toyota Starlet they want to get rid of? I'm looking for a 81-84 KP61, which I think is the only model that was ever sold here in the states. Condition doesn't really matter, but I don't want rust. If not, please share your best stories...

Hey. Me and a small group of friends (a mix of 4WDs and dirt bikes) are heading up to El Mirage tomorrow for some wheeling and possibly some BBQ. If you're going to be in the area let me know, or if you see me in the mag grey '14 TE come up and say hi. It would be fun to meet some forum people...

I don't have any input on your mod suggestions, but I do want to say that's an amazing trail! Congratulations to having access to those in your back yard. :) Also: Welcome aboard, have fun with the truck!

Did you end up going? How was the drive? I've never really been on the dirt roads at night with this car, I only have the stock lights, but an evening run sounds like fun. I'll just adjust my lights down first. The levelling messed them up and I would annoy the heck out of the truck in front of...

I just got this sudden urge to go out and see some dirt, and Sunday is all booked with baby stuff. If anyone is doing anything fun tomorrow, Saturday, and want another car on the trip, let me know! I'm thinking of doing either Main Divide, Hungry Valley or Rover Flats if no other ideas come up.

Nice. I might go there tomorrow, I've only done the trial with my bike previously. If anyone is up for tagging along, let me know. /Mr LastMinute

I have both those apps, my understanding was that they come with all trucks that have the nav. I'm on iOS but the phone is pretty much only used for setting the accounts up and for transmitting the data traffic. Entune feels dated already though, and I hope there will be an option for us '14s...

I second that. I just did Titus Canyon and Racetrack Valley. Two easy drives with amazing scenery. Pictures here and coordinates here.

I bought these for my 2014 TE w/KDSS a while back, the best price I found was on Amazon: Amazon.com: N-Fab T1064R Nerf Step Bar Wheel To Wheel: Automotive It was the same part number for 2010-2014 when I ordered. But NFab has updated their website since then to break out the 2014 model. I'm not...

Yeah I think I figured out how to shut everything off except the range display. That one is handy in the desert but while commuting it gives me nothing. 1st world problems... :)

Hm. Mine, a '14, goes from 15 miles to 1. Scared the heck out of me the first time. I just tend to get annoyed by all the meters and instruments showing fuel, "eco-driving" and range info when I obviously didn't buy the car for its stellar fuel consumption. To me it feels like Toyota is trying...
