    Just wanted to say hi, and thanks for the info the forums have provided so far. I don't even have the Tundra yet. I bought it from a forum member in SoCal, and it's scheduled to arrive tomorrow. Can't wait! We will put the Tundra to good use dragging our camper, bikes, fly fishing gear, paddle boards, hay for my daughter's horse etc. all over the four corners area. We've had two 4Runners, an Audi and a WRX over the last 10+ years, and it'll be great having a pickup again.

    Thanks. You may have seen my "soon to be mine" truck. It was in El Cajon.

    El Cajon is in my 'back yard' and my brother lives 'next door' in Lakeside ~ he's the one that insisted I buy a Tundra in the first place.
    Frame rust shouldn't be an issue with your new/used Tundra ~ it's nice and dry out there in the East County.

    You have to appreciate a clean "older" vehicle. I owned some gems that I babied ('84 VW GTI, 16v Scirocco, E46M3, '93 911 cabrio, V8 Audi S4), and they'd all be worth a LOT more now that what I sold them for. I kick myself in the ass over and over. Plus I loved every one of them.

    I'm seriously thinking of putting our '07 V8 limited 4Runner on mothballs rather than sell it. It's got under 100K miles, I've done everything maintenance wise, including timing belt at ~89k, every system flush and service, new brake pads and rotors, Toytec Boss lift, replaced LCAs, new KO2s etc. It's in pretty great shape. I feel like when my daughter needs a vehicle in 4 years, this thing could actually be worth more than it is now. She could drive it, or we could sell it and buy a really nice Honda Accord. Am i delusional?

    Welcome from Louisiana. I get out that way occasionally as my sister and mother are in Cortez but mostly to ride my bikes.
