If its possible I'd seriously be interested in inside info on the tundras. esspecially the lrg and head room comfortability while driving. and the accessability to controls while steering,and the traction control response packages.Quote:

Good Luck Stan, get better, and while you want a Tundra, good luck getting it used. You might be better off getting a Dodge. I am partial to Mopar, despite growing up in Oshawa where they build fullsized GM pickups. The newer 07-08 GM one looks alright, but I guess you have looked at those eh?
I haven't posted much Stan, so I was unaware of your recent accident. Hospitalization isn't the best place to be, especially when you have a forum to operate...LOL, but it's good to know that you here in "healing mode, that breathing is voluntary and that you are foremost a survivor." Take care, and know that you are in our thoughts. Here's wishing you a speedy recovery.

Here it is the 23rd of July and I am now seeing this for the first time.Get well my friend and am very very glad you are okay.
RFS, did you buy another vehicle yet. Curious minds are wondering. :)
No, I haven't bought anything yet. I'm still convinced I want a pickup
(it doesn't look for good for finding a Toyota in the mileage area I am looking for.)
(Most of the used Toyota pickups for sale here have 150,000+ miles & that's way too much !)
(A high mileage Toyota costs as much as a mid-mileage S-10/Ranger/Dakota, Screw That !) http://www.motorsportforum.com/forum...ongue-anim.gif
(I'm looking in the 50,000 to 60,000 mile range as I'd like to have some truck left in it.)
(I did find a S-10, a Ranger & a Dakota in the mileage range but they weren't exactly what I wanted.)
I am still healing, less pain but still too stiff to function @ 100%. :s
My last xray showed bone mass growth & the cracks are filled-in.
I see the doctor again near to end of August & I hope the next xray shows me completely healed.
I'm still using the walker & the wheelchair, I haven't been released to drive yet anyway.
I've looked around but haven't found anything I really want, plus the wife thinks I should wait. :s
I guess she fears that if I have a vehicle I might drive before I should. :s
(A jolt to the pelvis would probably set me back & neither of us want that.)
I can tell I'm healing because when I move the pain doesn't hurt as severely as it did the day before ..... :D
Tomorrow will make 5 weeks since I was injured, doctor said it takes 6 to 8 weeks for bones to heal .....
I don't see myself getting getting well in another week so I'm looking at the 8 week mark as my goal.
(My next doctor's appointment is right at the 8 week mark, so I suspect he thinks I will be well then too.)
It will all depend on what that xray shows, I'm hoping for good news.
I look forward to being able to bear full weight on my left leg again.
(I have to wait until the doctor says it is okay, if the bones aren't ready they would break if I tried too soon.)
Don't rush things. A few extra weeks in the grand scheme doesn't really mean that much. It is much beteer to make sure everything is completely healed
Funny Stan, I was just looking at this thread today to see if you had updated it. :)
Those pelvic fractures make me wince everytime I think about them. 6-8 weeks recovery time is pretty amazing, really.
I'm glad to hear that you're mending at the expected pace, Stan. It has to be maddening to not be able to drive....been there, done that for three months. Having less pain is a real bonus. :up:
