    I feel like it’s better than driving around an old penny.

    It could always be worse, I give you Mystic Gold, Toyota's answer to the Harvest Gold on the Ford Ranger just slightly bleached out so it could be lost in a parking lot

    Just my opinion.

    I like the miltary theme. Maybe a sand color? Not fond of the olive drab

    I love SWB. I've seen a first gen dc that was SWB and it was epic.

    Did you drive it? Usually the slack happens when the arms are froze. Backside of your wheel tire drum on the bottom. Gently tap the arm back and forth, and hose it down with brake cleaner where the are enters the.drum backing plate. Brake dust gets built up and freezes them as well.

    Yep, drove it after the tension returned. Felt normal again. This morning when I was trying to rock it back and forth I choked it down, applying the typical gas to clutch ratio.

    I think if he rebadged/decaled it would look great.

    No you're not alone. I think that is a great color as well. That color makes me want a 2nd gen to go along with my 1st gen!:cheers:

    I don't get the hate about car badges. I love the tacoma badges on the first gen.

    I also like Chrome (to an extent) and I know how much everyone despises Chrome on here.

    When I put in the 01-04 mirrors the chrome limited mirrors were loads cheaper so it worked out in my favor haha

    I wish the badging on the back used the same material as the door badges. The tailgate badges use some weird silver colored foam plastic crap.
