Traded Up, again.

I posted on YotaTech, then quickly realized all the 5g guys are here!
I couldn't figure out my old accounts email for this site, so created a new account. This place is a lot more happening vs 6 years ago!

Anyways...

From 2nd to 3rd gen and now, 3rd to 5th gen.

LTD, BP/Beige, Nav, 3rd Row.
Needs less rim and more rubber, 2in/leveling, remove the running boards, tint and less bling.
Got a super deal on it, good timing too.

Here's an old pic of my 3rd gen, it's missing duratraks and it hasn't had the deflectors in years. After moving from Colorado, no need for pictures

It was a bit abused, but i'll really miss the e-locker. Hopefully someone has already retrofit a TE to a limited rearend.

This thing is a bit bling for me, but a worthy upgrade.
I really wanted a salsa TE w/KDSS, but they're unheard of around here.
Besides, I would have missed the leather =)

Very nice!! There are plenty of forum posts on removing the "blink" (ie: plasti dip door handles, emblems, etc) Good luck and enjoy it! You'll find it's much bigger then your 3rd. I know after riding in my buddies 3rd recently and jumping direct to my 5th, I felt like I was driving a tank in comparison. lol.

Yea, I was on Yotatech and not happy and then I found this forum! Much happier here!

"It was a bit abused, but i'll really miss the e-locker. Hopefully someone has already retrofit a TE to a limited rear end."

I have not seen that mod to date, but a search may prove me wrong. However, there have been several that have installed the ARB lockers both front and rear and seem to be happy with them. Might want to search for those threads and see what they say. Welcome aboard!

Too many cars under warrantee, I guess =)
Here's a bit of info, a lot of speculation though: 2011 Rear Diif - Elocker for the "8.4" - TTORA Forum
The 3rd gen guys liked to swap rear ends a lot... uh ya... that sounds bad.
Not too painful to put an e-locker in a non-equipped vehicle. Not much more than buy the switch, relay and bolt it in.

Also, should be pulling the limited badges off tomorrow and the running boards.

I'm not sure if I want to black out the chrome, maybe bodycolor.

That looks better!
