Thanks for the detailed post Andy. Pete is real, as is Buddy (the dog). He lives across the street from me and when I took him for a ride tis month in the new 2016 TRD Off-Road he said he liked his older Taco better. Check out the six month update on his truck. There is a link in the story. I liked your comment about the "500 to 1000" worth of stuff most owners of '05 vehicles are asked to pay for needed repairs once the technicians check the vehicle out completely. As the owner of a 2007 Highlander, I would have jumped for joy if they told me all I needed was that much in repairs after the vehicle was 11 years old. When I did the timing belt I asked the mechanic to do a full inspection and I had a wheel bearing and two seized rear calipers that needed changing. The Highlander was much quieter and the brakes were dramatically better.
