    That's a sharp looking suv! We looked at a navy blue one as well. We ended up with a silver sr5 premium. I'm just happy it came with the all weather floor mats all the way around. I was shopping for the husky mats initially.
    I have a silver SR5, but it’s a 2011 with the premium package. Aside from some off road wounds it looks like new, especially the inside. Great vehicle and no plans to offload it anytime soon.

    I prefer the SR5 over the full time 4WD and larger 20” wheels on the Limited. Big wheels on a truck that goes off road doesn’t make sense to me. The bigger balloon tires suit my needs better and letting some air out has been necessary in some places. The TRD wasn’t available when I bought mine but for the off roading we do I’m not sure I would get it. 

    My wife’s car has all the bells and whistles for driving around town and taking on road trips where we stick to the asphalt.

    I test drove every trim level this time around. My 4th gen is a standard bare bones SR5 2WD. After deciding on another 4runner I swore I wouldn’t make that same mistake again. This time it was between the limited and offroad premium and we decided on the limited because it had extra features the offroad premium didn’t that were important to my wife. Also I was able to get this one for the same price as the offroad premium. I agree with the wheels statement and in a few years after my warranty is out I may change them out to some 17s with a small 2” lift kit and more aggressive tires.

    My buddy has a 4Runner and was worried about voiding the warranty. He ended up buying the factory trd pro rims to upgrade the stock rims.

    Let us know how it performs.  It has to be better than the one I bought from another company.  Where did you buy it from?

    @QDude they perform great and I get from Tel-True direct, I have 6 on various cookers, this one goes on my cold smoke house that caught fire....even with the raging fire, the old one survived pretty well but could only calibrate with 10 degrees, that dial had been wrapped around several times

    That sucks!  Were you hurt?  If yes, your uninsured motorist coverage, if you have it, should pay you something for that.

    That sucks. Anecdotally, F-250 &150’s are one of the most commonly stolen vehicles around here.

    @piney I would have thought all the empty 16 oz miller lite cans in the bed would have buffered the buffered the blow some.   =)   Glad only the truck got hurt.

    Picked up a gas forge.  Price was right - free. Needs a little work on the refractory bricks.  Blower works fine.  Not pictured is the top.  Heavy AF.

    You have the coolest sh!t.  I feel like that’s something I could get into anger management and fire all in one.

  • @nolaegghead looking forward to seeing you on forged in fire on the history channel!
  • Looking for good quality pot holders for the kitchen.  The wife can't find any that check the box on both quality and looks.  Any recommendations?
