Default The wife thinks I'm crazy.....big accessory lol

The wife got a new car. I've had the same Toyota truck for the last 6 years. Well I needed something to carry my metal detecting gear in besides the small space behind the seat of the Toyota. So I set off to get a metal detecting vehicle! It'll be my daily driver but now I can store ALL my stuff, not just the detector and lesche trowel. New accessory, lol. Now for some huge custom made ML logo decals for the 2 back side windows, now she knows I've flipped. Let's see, Minelab logo with caption underneath, "Anything else and your just digging holes".......................................

Very nice! I was looking at xterra's too, but they are not real common vehicles here and command a high price used. I'm happy with what i got, super comfortable, but lousy on gas mileage, same engine and trans as the xterra.

Just be careful about advertising detecting stuff on your car if you plan on keeping your stuff in your car. You don't want anybody to break into your car/truck to get your stuff.

haha! that's bad! funny, but bad, lol.

i agree with the other post about advertising with decals on it. a better logo might be something like "Very Hungry Pitbull in my brand new, don't you dare touch it, vehicle"!!

I wish I was getting the gas mileage you guys are. I get 9.5 mpg in my Jeep with a small block 4.7 v8. I even changed the plugs and went to mobile 1 synthetic hoping it would help but nope.
