    Custom body work...boat trailer came of hitch, hit tailgate and Rammed stick thru lower valance while towing boat....hmmm, Maybe I should get a new boat?!?
    Keep the LC...the tacomas are a dime a dozen...you could keep it and rid yourself of the sub?!?

    that is a nice landcruiser!

    i have a track car, that i put back to a more street friendly config. with my wife not working, it just didnt make sense to keep going. i miss the fun, and my friends. i wont sell it, but i just postponed the track.

    i think i would get rid of the subie. you barely drive it, which is an utter shame. you essentially "saved" it for the next guy. ouch. unload it, and buy a trailer for the LC.

    Sweet Cruiser! I think you may have been spoiled with the land cruiser off road and may be a little disappointed in the Taco. Not saying the Taco isn't capable it's just not as designed for it. *I hope I don't get chewed out for this*

    I think a trailer for the Cruiser is a great idea.

    i Say keep both cars and dont get a Taco .. .like someone said the second generation Tacos are not as good as the 1st Gen .. i had a second Gen Tacoma that i traded with a sequoia ... I am always big on comfy and luxury which Tacoma will never be able to provide... this is one of my main reasons i got rid of my Taco... i must say that a Taco drives great for a truck...

    Funny I ran into this thread. I'm thinking of trading my Tacoma in for a LC. I've always loved them and now would be the perfect time to get one since I'm starting to make a family soon.

    If you are going to get a DC you might as well go all the way and get a mini van.

    Again, thanks for all the responses. You all helped slap some sense into me. Decided to keep what I have and not get the Tacoma.

    To solidify your decision just look underneath at that sfa.
