    Well I'm not saying all convertibles are gay. A convertible Cooper is leaps and bounds more gay than say, an S2000.

    Look on old car seats for kids. Often they will use these to help adjust the seats straps in the back and they are a steel product similar to what is found in use with seat belts.

    It's all about the numbers (and letters) folks... except for C-3PO.

    Not that there's anything wrong with that.

    Well, somehow my wife is pregnant with our third. So I had to trade the taco for a minivan on a tundra frame with the oversized ass of 4Runner that's seemingly twice as wide and heavy.

    I'm not going out that, so I'm going to turn this into a huge overland rig for shits and giggles. That is until we have more cash and I can acquire an FJ or another Tacoma to become my dedicated solid axle trail rig. Plus I always wanted to built up a fullsize 4x4 van for fun ( I had a 2wd conversion full size van in college, I loved. It had mini blinds and valance lighting. God it was creepy in retrospect.)

    Unfortunately there are not a lot of built Sequoias out there, so time to talk to some people with more know how than me to make this all happen in the slider, armor, bumper areas.

    I have a build post on tundras.com I'll set one up here as I get deeper into it. Plus I can't leave Tacoma world half of everything I know came from this NorCal section. Sadly that offers way too much insight into my overall intelligence, but whatever.

    Damn! Didn't know that Jay was such a baller. I had a 1970 BMW 2002 ($900), 1965 Scout 80 ($950), and a 1978 Ford Fiesta ($275) that I bought while rebuilding the Scout's transmission. Sold it for $600.

    Why isn't the Trans Am considered a gay car? It has "trans" in the title.

    I drive a corolla now as a daily. It's not a convertible, but I've been told I look a little gay.

    Rainbows anyone?
