    Hello from beautiful Colorado Springs! Glad to have made the jump. Just bought a 2009 Sand Mica double cab with 72k miles on the clock. It's in fantastic shape. Mostly stock. Spent way more than I wanted to, but, this thing is awesome! This is by far the nicest vehicle I have owned. I expect it to last me "forever". I only generally put 5-6k miles per year on my cage (I ride a motorcycle most of the time). ;)

    Only has 1 key and key fob, so, been spending some time trying to figure out how to acquire a key less than the $80-150 they want at Ace or the dealer. Found some cheap chipped keys and fobs on Amazon, but, have so far found that I need a programmer for at least the key. I will be searching around the sight for a while. Due to what I am paying monthly, may not get to do many upgrades for some time.

    Cheers!

    Welcome, and bad a$$ truck! I have the same color and it is pretty rare finding them with mods. I tried finding a set of those TRD wheels as I really like that clean factory look with nice tires. I think you made a good decision.

    Thanks all! If anyone has advice on a key or the rails in the bed. I just realized I should have those, and mine aren't there. Wondering if they were removed for the spray in liner and not put back.

    Cheers!

    Welcome from the City and County of Denver! :)

    If you're adventurous, you can buy a OBDII cable and TechStream CD on ebay or Amazon and program your own key to the car. Look at your current key and see if it has a dot or a G on it and order the appropriate blank transponder key from ebay or amazon and have a local locksmith cut it for you.

    @JC303 @sprtbkr @rocky_mtn_trd @Grumpy Uncle I noticed coming home from Denver on Sunday that on the concrete parts, I had a pretty sustained/rhythmic bounce. On asphalt, no bounce. Do you guys experience this on I-25? Is this "normal"? Is there a fix? I just had myself, my wife, brother and sister-in-law. Nothing in the bed.

    Cheers!

    This is normal. The concrete roads aren't totally smooth. The worst for me is Santa Fe Drive in Denver, South of Mississippi. It has to do with our wheel base length. My Tacoma had this issue as well.

    Yep,normal. Worst part for me is through Castle Rock. The only time I go further north is to the V.A or to Toytec, and Estes Park. I have noticed that with my Snugtop it's not as bad. Or maybe I've grown use to it, dont know!

    Yeah, I noticed it between 225 and 470 and a lot in Castle Rock. Wasn't great around Monument, but, Castle Pines through Castle Rock was not good.

    Side note, where's Toytec? Forgive me, I'm new. :)
