I just picked up an 06 double cab Tundra with flippac off of this forum. Took the overnight train from SLC to Truckee.
I really like traveling by train. Breakfast was served with a view.
Met up with the seller in the middle of a blizzard, so the whole test drive was done in 4wd. I found the posting honest with regards to the condition, and we struck a deal.
With the snow delay of the train and general conditions it was about 12:45 before I was able to get on he road.
I tried to take my time as I didn't want to push an unknown to me truck too hard. Managed to stay in between most f the storms until Wendover.
I have a 2dr RRC that is my off-reloading vehicle this will be more of an adventure and family camping truck.
I will be focusing on making camping trips with our son more turnkey and less stressful for my wife.
Unfortunately, it has snowed every day since purchase so very little has been done aside from driving it home. Utah won't pass inspection as it has no 3rd brake light on the flippac. I found visibility at night with the weather so bad that I ordered headlights as soon as I got home. Despite it being after 1 on the morning. Traveling this week so progress will have to wait.
Very excited to see where this takes us.
