    there's no way a 4runner is a bucket list vehicle though right?

    what do you really want, that one day you may be able to afford of course.

    I just don't get wanting both a 4runner and the Tacoma.

    The 4runner to me isn't as good as the tacoma, you can't cut into it for upgrades without going into the interior.

    It's mainly going to be a street ride right, therefore there's other options at 40k + to consider.

    Don't get me wrong they look awesome and are one of the last body on frame SUVs available and may be the only small SUV with a frame available.

    If it's strictly a DD highway vehicle though I think they need work, they're about due for a generation upgrade.

    Also @stronghammer, and others opinions welcomed.

    If i bought the SCS wheels what do you think my TRD beadlocks are worth, the rings are trashed, but I don't think the wheels themselves are bad. My Toyos are rated I believe at 65k miles and I've put 20k on them, so They still have plenty of life left.

    An immaculately restored fj40.

    I'm not a car guy really. I'd take a supra. Idk expensive cars and fast stuff just isnt that appealing to me.

    An Fj40 is cool, I'd love to have one. Supras are awesome as well. I can see you're diehard toyota.

    I do like toyota stuff, but I'm not opposed to other brands.

    I like most forms of Motorsports, so having a vehicle to go do track days sounds amazing to me.
    Affordable wise a mazda is easily obtainable, those scion FRS lost so much value they're affordable as well.

    I do love almost every Toyota. Always have. I mean if somebody's giving me cars I'd probably take a DB9. I just dont have interest in fancy, I prefer functional i guess

    AWD is awesome, but for a track car they push in the turns a bit with understeer, not saying i'm good enough to matter. AWD also comes at a steep price and they hold the value so well.

    Didn't know this Bama thread existed! Glad to know there are taco world members near me. If anyone is in the Birmingham area and wants to hit some trails this weekend let me know!

    Interesting I think I've seen you too! You wouldn't happen to have a CVT tent on, would you?

    Not just functional lol. But a sports car serves no purpose other than going fast and you can only do that on tracks.

    Anybody identify the vehicle this spare came from? Seller has no idea. Hoping it fits and I don’t have to swap the tire on to my spare rim. Biggest thing I’m worried about is backspacing. Has the correct lug pattern though.

    I think toyota runs 4.5" backspacing as a standard.
