    Thanks! Still in the shock mode, trying to wrap my mind around the news. I was given a couple pieces of reading material, as well as several websites to educate myself on what to expect going forward. I'm sure this won't be easy, but there is a lot of recent progress in treating MS. We're...

    Purpose of Chain in Winch Accessory Kit?

    Old thread, and probably sufficiently "answered" already, but let me toss in my $.02 worth. There are those moments where a chain is the ONLY way to hook up a tow line, winch line, etc...Not the SAFEST way on earth, but the ONLY way....Much thought should be given to the safety of using one...

    The forever build. I bought my 1st 4wd 44 years ago. On #18 now. This 2011 Tacoma TRD OR was bought 4 years ago. With in days I found out I had cancer. Got treated. Found more cancer. Had surgery. Got over that. Found out I have Parkinsons. So. The truck build took a back seat...

    No pictures off the parking lot yet since the newest addition (topper) Found a killer deal on it. (ARE...$250 like new) It's MGM and WAS gonna get painted Silver Streak.

    Why we buy Toyotas

    MOST new cars are FAR more reliable than cars were in "the old days". BTDT, got the tee shirt. When I first started driving, it was considered an insult for someone to call attention to your car having more than 100,000 miles. Now days that's just about "broke in", but a LONG way from being...

    Why we buy Toyotas

    2 Jeeps in my past. Not far enough in the past to suit me. They were BOTH junk. Between electrical problems, rear axles that would break just driving down the highway, and a pathetic dealer I had to work with....NEVER AGAIN. Worst vehicle I ever owned, bar none, was a 1988 Chevy 3/4-ton...

    I get 19 to 21 mpg with my 2011 TRD OR V6 Auto with Duratracs (that reportedly take off about 2mpg) I've owned 2 diesel trucks....and will not own another. Mileage is offset by higher fuel cost, increased cost for routine maintenance, cost of any major repairs needed during it's life, and...

    The best adventure travel boots.

    I'm a bit over weight, so tough on my feet and legs. I'm diabetic with nueropothy, so my feet give me fits. I used to race dirt bikes and have had broken bones in both feet and have the after effects of that. So. Shoes HAVE to fit. They HAVE to provide good support. And I have to change...
