well I had load up yotatech before coffee was finished this morning
My wife is starting to think that I love my truck more than her- I tell her no-way ...I love you both equally I say.

My 4runner doesnt get mad at me if I look at other 4runners.

You know you're obsessed when you wash the truck for a one day road trip to make it easier to wash the day you get back.

A new fragrance for Yota owner's

Do your nostrils longs for that new smell of your OEM leather interior blended with the sweet fragrance of swamp gunk? Do you daydream about crawling over big rocks and splashing through mud puddles while on long secluded rides through the snow laden forrest? Is every spare waking minute of your existence filled with visions of mounds of mod money and scantily clad women lounging on your Yota? Then Calvin & Hobbe's new fragrance is for you, "Obsession" for men.

Here some to add to the list

**You know you're obsessed when you can tell the model trim and exact year for the 3rd gen by looking at the shape of the side view mirrors, headlights, hood, rear tail lights, fenders and side cladding, type of wheels, front bumper and in some cases the rear tow hitch.

**You know you're obsessed when your driving behind another 3rd gen and you can tell if it's equipped with a V6 or 4cyl just by looking at the amount of vibration on the rear exhaust tail pipe.
