    Just purchased a 2023 TRD Sport 4WD. Don't shoot me, I am a boomer, but am looking forward to making some road trips with my wife of 41 years. Live in South Florida but am considering moving to somewhere that isn't so prone to hurricanes once my wife retires. I'm interested in finding out what mods are available. Looking now for running boards and have already installed a Pedal Commander.

    They keep telling me that. In some ways I guess it's true. I'm retired 2 years ago on the 12th of July. So while not corrupt, I am living off my capitalistic gains.

    Fatigue is a probably the best description. Have been here now since before Andrew, and this year the water temps far exceed prior years by quite a lot, this early in the season. Warmer waters spin up more powerful hurricanes. Seems like this year will be a bumpy ride, but we'll see.
