    That's a beautiful red truck!

    Here's my new 2010 Taco on the beach, in Baja:

    Tacomas and the beach just go together like butter on corn!

    TRAC and A-TRAC are awesome... unstoppable four wheel drive!

    No, the rims just do not fit the typical off road truck or guy IMO. What's wrong with a different opinion then yours or anyone else who loves these rims for off road? Plus, its a sport model, so our "LSD" rear is the same, the bug shield is not common with OR guys, and the Light bar and side steps are useless under impact. My truck with the ARB rear locker and upgraded suspension installed will help me go anywhere your truck or his will go in 4x4. :D

    This red color is really growing on me! I thought my choice between Metallic Grey and Silver were hard enough.... But now I'm thinking the red would look pissa in my driveway...

    Your truck looks pretty stock and low to the ground to me. Maybe you should post some new pics.

    It all boils down to being happy with what you got. I happen to like my set up the way it is. It is more than offroad worthy, and goes through just about anything our area can dish out, and just about any other area for that reason. If somebody else doesn't like it, well thats your opinion. I'm ok with that. No harm in done in that, i don't take it personally.

    I'm attempting to hump your truck right now, but all that happens is the computer screen keeps getting all smeared.

    AHHH dude, knok that crap off. That's a visual I don't need before I go to bed. Thanks for the compliment though, I guess. I think it's higher than 3" as well. My buddy has a 4.5" rancho on his rubicon and we sit almost level with each other.

    Did you have a load in back for some of the photos? My wife spotted the difference right off the bat when I showed her the photos... Some show the bed 'raised' off the rear tires... and some show the the bed right above the tires...? Is it only because you are on the side of a slope and the weight transfer lowers the bed that much?

    Nice truck, anyway...

    The truck was flexed because we had pulled up on the sand dune. Look at the pictures on level ground. That will show you how much the truck is lifted.

    Oh I wish it were warm and sunny here :( right now mid 50s, rain, with probably 30+mph winds where I'm at. Too bad the power didn't go out at work...the silver lining to the dark clouds outside.

    Likewise, and to each its own... it just not my style, or how I would build the truck. But how can it not look good, its a Tacoma! I always loved the red color too. Will posts upgraded shots of my truck soon...;)
