    Standard deduction is usually better I've found. I even donated a car once and it didn't make any difference. I'm just not generous enough for the tax man to care I guess

    I forgot you have no mortgage. That's the big help here, along with the ridiculous property tax bill. The new tax laws kinda screws us on the property tax writeoff, but our mortgage deduction is safe.

    I think it's a Tacoma, let me go check again...
    *Cracks knuckles* Where do I begin?
    Thinking about heading over to Hidden Falls. Never been off roading with my Taco yet. I've been off roading but that was with a highlander 4x4 and a capable V6 engine.... Neither of which I have. I'm sporting that 4x2 non locker V4 taco. Any tips would be appreciated.

    Since you have extra time, I was kind of thinking about this one mod but I'm not sure, or I could do this other thing I saw over on that other thread.
    Just not sure, whatcha think?
    But then again I could just leave that part stock.

    Most, no. Some, yes. With no locker you'll need 4wd.

    I thought it was assumed that I was referring to a weekend in the future but maybe I should've specified that.

    I don't want to sound redundant here nor seen as asking too many questions but with a non-TRD Prerunner.... Am I still able to install the ARB air locker?

    You won't have an issue on park roads or some of the lower level trails, but trails that are 3 star or more, you may have issues with. Def don't go alone.

    Yes, you have an 8.4" non elocker rear. At the same time of locker install, I would suggest re gearing as well. I have an 8.4 sitting on the floor of my garage. I could load it up for you, then swap out the diffs when I'm done.
