It's a done deal..I'm getting a new Taco

Finished up the financing today over the phone with my cousin the salesman. I fly up to Idaho to pick her up on Sept 9th. 2006 White TRD offroad Extra Cab 6 speed with dealer installed lift, wheels, tires, and a few other goodies. The extras only ended up costing $2500 if anyone read my previous thread about dealer intalled mods. I get a say in the wheel and tire package so it should be worth that and none of it will void the warranty. . I'm pretty excited I've never had anything new before. I'm going to start ordering mods tomorrow..hahaha.

Congrats Joey.
Hurry up and get a CB for it too so you will have one for the Fall Colors Run coming up soon.

Let the mods begin.

Regardless, Congrats Joey!!

Congrats! One suggestion would be to spec an '07. Since there's no cash back on '06's and only a $100 price increase on the '07's, you'll be ahead of the depreciation train by a year. Also, the '07's will have a VSC defeat switch and a side curtain airbag defeat switch (if equipped) for off-road use. I think '07's are shipping now.

BT17R I'll have to ask my cousin about the 07's I am not sure if they are getting them yet though or he probably would have mentioned it to me. KCTopher it's a Revtek lift. Every dealership I have been to had at least one of them on display. The dealership in Idaho I went to calls it the RMX package which stands for Rogers Motors Extreme Anyways attached is a pic of the truck I took that sold me on the white. I like the wheels and will probably get something similiar.

Congrats. A couple of questions: Are you keeping the 4runner and what size tires are you getting?

Woohoo!
Looks awesome! With all the attention the FJs have been getting I've kinda forgotten how cool the Tacomas are.

Yup I'm keeping the runner as my weekender camping rig. I'd never get a fraction out of it compared to what I've put into it. It was the first vehicle I bought after high school and paid for with my own money so it has a place with me too. I may decide to sell later on if it ends up sitting around too much. I'll be putting 285's on the Taco.

Tell me about it...
I had close to $20K into my 4Runner, I got $1.5K at trade in time, but it was on its death bed.
I am sure though that they will sink some into the engine, detail the body, and sell it for bluebook or above.

Besides the engine, the rest was in pristine shape.
Just needed to be detailed.
