Arrived in crate, now...It's Alive!!!
 
Just had the KLX arrive in a crate (metal). All fluids minus gas, front tire unattached, as was handlebar. Took about 3 hours to assemble with a buddy. Little tricky figuring out which bolts to use where, but it all went smoothly. Checklist that comes with the bike is good to follow (highly recommended if you only want to put it together once). Pics to follow, especially regarding not cranking on the screws that hold the front axel. Broke one off and had to figure out how to get the double male screw out and replace it.

yeah, that's a sweet truck. about the only truck I'd buy these days is a tacoma like yours with the TRD off-road or a new GMC Sierra Z71, they're sweet. Gas mileage would be the decider as they're sadly pretty much the same price. Those Toyota's are expensive as hell!

Hey now Iowa, what about this? I get 20 on the highway, and the motor only has 110,000, I should get 400,000 without too many problems. But I do admit I look with envy at the Tacoma's when they pass by. I had a 1993 Toyota extra cab 4X4 with a matching fiberglass shell, I still miss that truck.
