    Hey guys, I'm in the market for a new toyota tacoma. Used to drive a 4 runner and miss it (but I need a bed). Can anyone tell me which trick they actually like better? I was going to get the OFF ROAD cause of the rear locking differential and the suspension. But now I'm leaning towards the sport because I think the 6ft bed might be more useful...

    Does anyone have some good advice, cause I'm on the fence and can't make a decision.

    I think you just answered your own question....

    The necessity for a 6ft bed ....... Get a truck with a 6ft bed.

    Did you also know, if you want a locker...you can have one installed aftermarket - Like an ARB air locker. ;)

    The question now becomes...do you need a double cab or access cab?

    If you don't like the skewp why not just get the SR5? I was in the same spot as you 10 months ago. I finally decided that since I've never once in my life been in a spot where I needed a locker, and I wanted the 6' bed that I would get the Sport. All my 4x4 action has been in the sand or snow I love the look of the sport and haven't regretted it for a moment.

    Short bed just looks stupid.
    I had one and I don't know what drugs I was on that convinced me to buy it. Bought a sport longbed and never looked back!

    Like others trade hoods. I've offroaded my sport and it handles stuff fine.

    Can't believe the cocksuckers finally started *allegedly offering that. Oh well. Saved me having to paint over a bunch of chrome.

    swapped my chrome bumper on my o.r for a color match. Hate chrome because every dent shows up like your holding a magnifying glass over it.

    Only problem is the unpainted handles and over fenders look cheap and out of place on the off road
