Just keep an eye out for the idiots piloting their three-ton SUV's while yakking on a cell phone, turning to swat the kids and thinking about what they're going to have for dinner as they merrily plow into you. Personally, I won't go on the roads any longer with anything less than two tons of steel around me. There's no "right of way" on the streets nowadays, it's all "right of weight". The more damage you can potentially do to them, the more likely they are to see you...
Took it out on an old country road. My oh my, those things are fast.
This is what I drive, a 2001 Toyota Tundra, has this exact same canopy on it too, only mine's gold instead of grey, is 4WD and has aftermarket wheels and tires on it. Bought it new, have not even turned 20k miles on it yet. I work out of my home, so don't put too many miles on my rig. With any luck, I'll keep this for 20 more years. Runs like a watch.
Just a heads up, expect rear end problems. The early 2000's pickups from Toyota have a problem with a sealed bearing developing play and leaking fluid from the pumpkin. You'll know when it fouls your brake pads. I may be wrong about this, but I think it's still under recall.
Really? I had not heard of this! I'll be sure to call the dealership next week and see what the story is. Thanks for the heads up!
Youre welcome, my neighbour went though this a couple years ago on a 2000 Tundra. I may be wrong about the recall though, it's a little fuzzy in my mind. I think the dealer replaced it for him though.
