TY guys,I could write a whole book on why a Toyota truck is the best for MY needs,but you all know how great they all are or you would not be here.

I signed up for this web site a while ago,but had drifted away and came back after I got a reminder that I was not seen in sometime. Let's see.... My first true love of Toyota trucks had to been around the mid 80's.I was a junkie for the Land Cruiser Wagon and the jeep like ones. I kick...

It all depends if I am working,both my wife(she changed her mind a few times) and my mom are having dinner.If I am working I probably eat at home.

It could have been the condtion of my truck besides a rusty frame.As I have stated else where in have just over 100,000 on a 10 year old truck.I bought in very good condtion over 6 years ago. I don't think I could replace my truck for 15,000

With all the people with lead feet here on the highway,it's hard to not want to go past the 70 mph that I like to drive at. So besides saving gas it saves me from going to fast also.

I didn't notice any issues,but I think when they checked my cross member a couple year ago,they might have missed the frame starting to rust.Toyota had my truck for like a month and from my understanding,it's was like a $10,000 job to fix between the parts and labor. I did have them replace my...

Well, this truck has had 3 recalls that I been told about. Back cross member, frame and air bag. When I brought it in for the air bag, they told me the frame needed to be replaced ASAP. So they gave me a Camry as a loaner and replace the frame, when they replace the frame,they had to replace...

I just had a recalled and they had to replace the whole frame on a 10 year old truck.How many others had their frames replace from Toyota's recall? Another thing that I have to point out,they replaced everything that was to worn out( fuel filter,brake lines,etc.) to re-hook up after they...

Can find me many times a day on my Facebook account at Ray Van Zant-Barbour

I try to use my cruise control as much as possible and not carry anything in the bed unless I have to.

Working in printing( meaning we hardly are closed when we say we will be),I am staying close to home.Dinner at home,maybe dessert at my folk's place ( they live like 2 miles away from us).

I always LOVED the 80's Landcruisers,both the wagon and the jeep like ones ( slap me now,as I forget Toyota's code for them.) I also would LOVE LOVE a new extra cab 4x4 Tundra with the 5.7 liter motor and the Lexus version of the new Landcruiser. See I can keep it to just 4 wants.

I have just over a 100,000 miles on it. I know not much miles for a 10 year old truck,in fact I have not even thought about replacing the water pump/timing belt yet. As crazy as it seems, LAUGH NOW folks, my 245 HP is plenty of power for me,so I am not asking to change the exhaust to get much...

Now correct me if I am wrong... the first number is how tall the tire is,the second number is how wide it is and the third number is the rim size. If I am correct, I have 265/70/16 now,but don't want to get new rims( in fact I LOVE the stock rims that came with my SR5) nor do I want wider tires...

To be honest,I have not thought of a brand yet, I do know I don't go off road with my truck, but we do get nasty snow storms here in CT. I rather not go much wider of a tire than what I have now.So I am sure what I want and what is out there,can't be a huge selection.
