    What a great truck! I drove a 2.5 gen a few years ago and fell in love with it, settling for a Tacoma thinking it would suffice. While I loved the Tacoma very much, I decided to make the switch and started test driving the new model Tundra. That month they announced the engine recall, and I was instantly spooked. Nice truck, but way too much for my budget, add to that the engine problems and I was then looking at used 2.5 gens in my local area. I found my new truck in Reno and jumped on it; a low miles 4x4 DC SR5, with a few tasty mods from the PO installed (bumper, trans cooler, front grill, and bed lining). A nice humble truck!

    Changed the tires to something new - Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac RT in stock size. Love the tire so far!

    Then added a Softopper for camping and general bed storage convenience. Love them, had one on my Tacoma and they are great!

    I tried some Amazon running boards but found them too low, if that makes sense. Found a different style that raised them up to just below the doors, and found that to be more to my liking.
