F*n New Guy living in the Mojave north of the LA mountains in CA. I searched high and low for a SCab terrain, but had no luck. I made a down payment on one in northern LA at the end of July, but it got sold out from under me and I was back to square one. Finally one popped up in Indianapolis, so I bought a one-way ticket and drove it back in two days. 30 miles on it when I shook hands, and 2,200 when I pulled into the garage. I was concerned with engine break-in, so I made a point to vary the RPMs the whole ride and take frequent breaks to mill around a city or two. First move when I got home was changing the oil. I read on one of the FRF forums to toss a couple rare earth magnets on the oil filter, so those are on order. I think my next will be checking out Rust-Oleum's "Rock Guard" spray. So far the truck is completely stock and unremarkable, but my eye is on more robust bump stops and more serious brakes.

I've been lurking in FRF's forums for several months leading into my purchase and am really pleased with the topic coverage and inputs! I'm looking forward to contributing in any way I can.

Hey! I have a standing desert race challenge from a friend in a ~'12 Tacoma TRD. I'm looking forward to bragging about that on here later. I have another buddy with a ~'00 Silverado on some long-legged King suspension. He'll be a more difficult challenge.

Welcome! Take a look at at the SVC ABS bump kit. Great quality, and can take an absolute beating. If you have any questions about it let me know.

Here's some photo evidence. Freshly purchased in Indianapolis, then home in garage (barely).
