    Hi all! New Member!
    Added a Toyota to the stable last week. I scooped up a '24 T4R TRD ORP. Have always been a fan of T4Rs, especially 5th gens. With all of this 4cyl turbo talk on the new gens, I figured I better grab the last of the V6s while I still can. It is not our 1st T4R, we also have a 1997 3rd Gen base model 4x4 3RZ MT in Desert Dune with 240k miles.
    My current daily driver is a 2015 Tacoma TRD Sport DCLB.... I am under the same u/n over on Tacomaworld, been over there since 2005ish. I am a DIY type of guy and I maintain and work on my family's vehicles...all Toyotas. I worked as a motorcycle mechanic while in college and have always been into dirtbikes too. I currently ride a KTM 500 exc, mostly offroad....
    Thanks for having me!
    Scott (AKA CaptainSkidmark)

    Welcome.

    I feel sorry for you. I have enough trouble deciding whether to drive my '03 Tacoma or the 4R. Add one more, I'd be paralyzed with indecision every morning.

    Great bike. I trailered mine exclusively for about 4 years then had the thought to utilize it as a light weight adventure bike. This required better on road manners. I installed the Scott’s steering stabilizer with rubber mounts for the handle bars and it’s a totally different experience. The Scott’s is a little pricey but after doing it I’m pissed I waited as it’s serves its purpose off road just as well. Be safe. Ride safe
