That's right! Got my 2007 Toyota Tacoma X-Runner this afternoon. $500 over invoice.
Gotta say, I really missed driving a manual, more so than I thought. Found a 2" drop kit I'll be installing next weekend, hopefully. This will allow me to run 20" wheels later on.
I'll have some pics up tomorrow so you guys can give me a hard time.
way to go happy for ya bro
is this mark martin?
any pics
Darrell,
Congrats on your new toy. Have to admit the styling of those trucks are pretty good. I was able to give them a pretty good once over when a friend of mine bought one in Hawaii last year.
BTW, most of the crappers are still @ Love Ride and will not be home to yak on the board till much later. In case you were wondering, you were missed and we even talked about you a bit.
Derm,
Congrats on the new ride. Trading in the HD and wanting to mod the new Toyota still seems a little puzzling to me. You're always welcome here. Oh well, I'm sure you'll have fun and enjoy it. Where are the pics?

Derm, congrats on the new toy and I see the mod bug has hit you already.
I am having a hard time with the trading a fast cool truck that gets 12-21 to the gal for a kinda quick ok looking truck that gets 15-25 to the gal + the extra payments........ Im not seeing the payoff?????
21 mpg with the engine off, on a downhill grade with the wind at your back

20 mpg id a s/c hd????? the best i ever got in my 01 was 16.5 cruising at 70 on the interstate. hmmmmm
I might have calculated it wrong but I know it dint use anywhere near what I budgeted for and I figured using 15mpg as an average.
Why do you need to see the payoff? I didn't buy the truck for you.
I never got better than 16MPG in my HD. I have a hard time believing you got 20. If you did, then
Stew claims similar numbers for MPG...don't see how it's possible, but I know I've got a lead foot. Maybe your feet aren't as heavy?
I'll have pics this weekend (hopefully). I've been working 10-12 hours a day the couple weeks. Factor in my commute time and there isn't much time for anything else.
I got rid of the HD for a few reasons.
1. I never drove it.
2. I was mad I had no time to drive it.
3. I got bored with it and wanted a change.
Miles of trip divided by gallons of gas used.
