Back from Iraq & picked up my new truck

Got back about 2 weeks ago now and started my leave 4 days ago. Its wonderful being back in the states enjoying the little things (drinking tap water, real milk and of course brew) as well as the big things.

I picked up my new truck yesterday
2008 Toyota Tacoma TRD
Double cab short bed v6 4.0 Liter

Welcome home.

Those are truly nice trucks, especially the upgraded TRD model. I've been eyeing one myself.

Welcome home!!

Now where is the mud.

I bought an 07 GMC Sierra Crew Cab Z71 when I got back from Afg and it only took about 3 hours to get it muddy. My wifes face was classic

Wife - WTF did you do??

Me - Ran into an ambush.........of the mud variety!!

She was more mad that I didn't take her out. She's never been muddin', she's pure and I have no intention of getting stuck ......we're married what's the use .

HA! yeah I was tempted yesterday to do so, but rush hour traffic on the way back from the dealership took all my daylight so I decided against it.

Current CD in deck is "aMotion" - A Perfect Circle, but I got the Ipod fm transmitter so that is my primary means of music.

thomps2100 of course... I'll be headed your way next week.
