    Just thought I'd introduce myself. I've been the proud owner of a 2010 DC TRD OR 4X4 in Super White for 2 mo. now. She has everything accept the JBL sound system. My last truck was a 2005 Nissan Frontier KC Nismo 4X4, theres a pic below of what I did to her. I plan on doing the same to my Taco. I've been lurking for a bit and got some really good info from ya'll. I look forward wheeling with many of you. Have a Happy New Year!

    The trucks are so close in every way. I do miss the the power of Nissans 4.0 V6, that engine has some balls. Our 4.0 is real good, but I can feel the power difference. Off road the trucks are identical, I just dont have to worry about my front diff grenading on me in the middle of BFE, it doesn't look like Nissan will fix that problem. The Taco is better looking inside and and out. And I really like the aftermarket support for the truck.

    Yeah, I think the Tacomas are a better truck, I hadn't heard about the front diff problem on the Nissan's.
