    Hello from a Toyota Family! Just sold my rav4 to family, a 2015 tundra platinum will be replacing it. We also have a 13 sienna and Avalon. Before that we’ve had a few highlanders and and ventured into Lexus. We’ve been looking at tundras for a few years now and finally got what we wanted. You really cannot beat a Toyota!

    After a week now it is finally being loaded up on a trailer in northern Texas and will be here in Kentucky in a Two days! I’m interested if it will be spotted by a member here. I’ve only seen videos and pictures of the truck, so can’t wait to see it. One owner clean Carfax, 56xxx miles.

    2015 Platinum
    3” Lift
    AMP power running boards
    Fuel 20” wheels 35” tires
    I know the back has the weather tech float mats.
    Headlights and tail lights look aftermarket?
    Carbon fiber over the handles and mirrors. I will probably had that wrapped white.

    Will have to find out more once it gets here which will be Friday at the earliest.

    right!!! We drove 6 hours to Columbus Ohio for the rav4. It had 140,000 miles on it it’s now at 204,000. I put 4,000 miles on it in 19 months. I work close to home and from home time to time! Would have kept it but between my wife and I we don’t need 4 vehicles, our nieces will enjoy the rav4!

    @00Tyler10
    I am sorry to hear that about your Grandma.

    I think I've seen your rig up around in BG a time or two. I used to frequent N-tense sports outside BG for paintball. I have never attended WKU, but have been on campus numerous times. Lol mostly after dark :rofl:

    @pelphrey been awhile since I have been to the "burrow." Last time I was there I was picking up a husky toolbox from Home depot.

    I am near Lake Malone, about an hour from each of you.

    The picture from the OG welcome message is actually AT Lake Malone right at the gate for the primitive camping and RV camping access road.

    Cheers, and welcome @pelphrey.

    If you saw this you saw me. The softtopper makes me stand out. Im the only one in BG. Lake Malone restaurant is where we always have family reunions. Most of my family was from Hunstville Ky in Butler County. We still own our family farm there.C1F46445-F16C-4978-BE48-437E84FBED77.jpg

    Looks familiar. Without the deer guard on my truck I would blend in with the rest of the local 1st gens. Not that the deer guard is unique, I have just never seen another one.

    Lake Malone is a pretty awesome place. I have many many childhood memories there.

    My Eagle scout project was actually to "re-do" the Laurel trail there. We had nationally certified arborists come in, and do all our tree cutting because BSA "red tape" this was 2013, 2014? It had not been touched since the Ice storm in '09. The park "manager" told us they were quoted at 1.25 million to fix the trail by contractors. We volunteered our time, and did it for free.
