Of course you can vote, Shawn! I'm also a transplanted Mid-Westerner. Born and raised in south central Indiana, lived in SoCal for 26 years, and now enjoying life in Austin, Texas. BTW...my roommate was born and raised in Kansas and graduated from K-State in '74.

Hello everyone. I have ben in Hancock County for the past couple years. Before that, California. I work on the wind turbines and travel all over the states, from NY, Ill, Mn, Ne, CA and one side of Canada to the other.

I was amazed to find a Toyota dealership in Mason City. When I was in westerm Iowa the closest was in Sioux Falls.

Hope to see you on the higways!

Default Also Transplanted

Hello all you Midwesterners out there, I am a transplant from SoCal, been here in Indianapolis for 15 yrs now and love it here. I still go back to CA a few times a year to see family but that is about all I can take of that state and it is good to get back to the Midwest. Would love to hear from others here in Indiana and maybe check out some rides. Does the Midwest group have any gatherings or ?

to TS.com and The MidWest Forum RBeau1954!!!! I am the Midatlantic forum mod but am originally from Indiana now stuck in New Jersey I miss the Hoosier hospitality and general friendliness of the people there. There's nothing but anger and hostility out here Can't wait to get out but probably not back to Indy...looking to go further northeast into the beautiful Vermont mountainside! We like the cooler weather there and the slower pace.....anyway welcome Hoosier!!

Default Newbie to Tundra's and TS forum

Hello everyone!

I am a new member to this forum and to Toyota Tundra's in general. We traded our '03 Odyssey for an '05 Tundra DC SR5 4x4 in August. So far we love the truck and its flexiblity to haul cargo and people. I am planning to get the bed Line-X'd in a week. Anyone here in MN have that done to their Tundra and what was your experience? We use to own (2) Ford F-150's and later had kids and decided a minivan was the thing to do. After 2 years living with a minivan we came to the realization that althought the Odyssey is an awesome people and cargo hauler it was just not suited for country roads (we live in the Rockford area) and snow. I would like to know what engine modifications I can do to increase more HP and torque. I have read many post on this forum to stay away from modifying or changing out the stock air intake because the aftermarket parts do not perform as advertised. So what else can one do to increase performance without spending over $500?

Thanks.

John
