Default Bought a TBSS

Closed the deal on an 08TBSS today. Its a black 2wd 3SS. Should look good parked next to the TA in the driveway. They are doing a dealer trade on it so i dont have it yet but when i pick it up ill post some pictures. I'm pretty damn excited. This is the first new vehicle i have purchased.

Nice purchase. Hopefully you'll enjoy yours as much as I have mine. You've probably already come across them, but there are a few other TBSS forums with some good info.

They didnt get it in today. Funny thing is the dealership they are getting it from is just down the road. Im hoping to get it tomorrow and then ill have some pictures up. I dont have much planned in the mod department as ill be a little strapped for cash now between the payment on it and trying to mod the TA. My old truck was def. faster before it went back to stock but the TBSS will be my daily so its gunna stay close to stock.
BTW GOLDRUST...what kinda numbers did that TBSS put down?
