In 2009 I bought a 5 lug in speedway blue. It is the access cab 4 cyl auto. At the time no Xrunners were available on the west coast and the dealership was reluctant at best to try to bring something in from elsewhere. I figured I wanted good mileage anyway. I did a few mods, DJM 3/3 drop, hellwig rear sway, 18x8.5 wheels, etc.
Although I like the look of the truck the performance is tepid at best. I've lived with it long enough. I have to have something better. I've been looking for a decent Xrunner and found one in Florida, a 2013. It is red which is my 2nd favorite just after speedway blue.
Alas that wasn't to happen. Trying to finance a truck from a private owner is hard enough, cross country turned out to be impractical, at least in my situation. If anyone is interested in the 2013 it's listed on tacomaworld.
So the search started again and I found several in black. Black vehicles do look stunning, but only when freshly washed. I already have a black vehicle and don't want another. I like speedway blue.
I found a 2010 in speedway blue. It's at the far end of the state (I'm in CA). I negotiated the price a bit and we came to an agreement (dealership). I leave on the bus tonight @7:30 and ride all night.
What am I planning? Lower it, better brakes, wheels, stereo. As far as increasing power, we'll see.
