    Guess it's time to say hello.
    My search for a 80's/90's Toyota mini-motorhome has flamed out with todays purchase of a 2003 V8 TRD Tundra SR5 w/ access cab.

    I figure I can probably do a slide in camper, or certainly tow a small trailer. Fall back is the Roof Top Tent. And I've still got the shorter, taller, lighter, more fuel efficient Tacoma for playing in the woods - but I'm pretty sure for daily & highway use I'll really enjoy the sturdier Tundra more.

    Really curious to see how I like living with an Access Cab. I always said "Never", but somehow it now seems like a good idea. I'll see.

    Suppose the CT DMV is open on Monday - New Years Eve? LOL :rofl:
