Just rolled this over on the odo this morning. Had to take a pic
QUOTE MYSELF FROM ANOTHER THREAD
Original post in the 4th gen photo thread
Today I admired them. I also decided that toyota should have never discontinued the V8 t4rs, and it got the wheels in my head turning. I still stand by my previous thoughts. The 5th gen limited is nicer than my SR5 4th (obviously). Here's the thing guys (and gal, TeamLord), when I think "TOYOTA", I think "ultra practical minitruck". There is a certain part of me that loves that aspect MOST about toyota trucks, and SUVs. Yes they are reliable, and have offroad goodies, but getting so much out of a small truck that you don't have to worry about sctatching just makes me.... giggly..
Here's the think. Someone asked me review the 2 immediately after I bought the 5th gen. I voted 5th gen at the time. Well I've had both for a few weeks now, and can now give a bit better review. @%1;
[MENTION=165]momo.75[/MENTION] : All ok with you? I keep hearing all the misery that's going on in LA, can't help but to think how you are doing?
Steel bumper with spikes would help more.Ordered a new painted bumper off ebay, mine got messed up shortly after I put the new one on because some idiot cut me off on wet roads and I'm sick of looking at the flakey paint :tsk:

That's my problem! I don't want the weight or the desire to push... Erm draft anyone out of my way! Lmfao.I hear ya, I would love a steel bumper but it's not needed for a daily driver. I've stopped myself for years from getting any kind of push bumper because I would be tempted to use it!

successfully passed NYS inspection.. wooooo lol
Changing the oil tomorrow
As a former yankee F THAT! Indiana has literally zero inspection, which also has it's downfalls for some of the crap we see on the roads. The worst is when you have a stupid evap code and can't pass, just waiting til that one time you drive it past all the readiness checks and the light stays off for a few miles get it in now! How much do they cost now a days? Used to be $21 at the highest I remember. Congrats on the pass lol.
So on my 3rd attempt I FINALLY got the bolt out of my lower shock mount on my front coilovers.
This process has been a PITA but its out and my new bushings are in.
:bigok:
Here is how bad the bolt and heim joints were.
