Finally ditched the mini van and got myself back into a truck

good choice, way better truck than a Titan. Toyota definitely builds awesome trucks. Was working on one tonight and they are built much better than my xterra. My next truck will probably be a domestic diesel but if not the only foreign trucks would be a Tundra or a 4runner.

I have to agree. I love my X, but my 4Runner is just a better vehicle.

You're gonna love, Micah. Congratulations!

Quite a difference in power than that of an X don't get a ticket. It looks like, I'm not sure, you got the force V-8, right? Except for short trips in the winter, the gas milage is not bad either. :thumbup:

I'll post some more photos up soon.

Wait 'til you change the oil in that thing. 7.5 quarts compared to 3.5 quarts is a big difference...yes, I can do the math, but the recommended oil change is 5000 miles. I did my third one today and it's getting easier, but the filter is still a major PITA.

I do like that it is just a paper filter, but there's a process in getting it out. If you plan on doing it yourself, which I do recommend, since it cost me about $50 to do it myself, here's a good write up on the topic.
