    Yeah its definitely not the most useful configuration. It's gotta be the fastest configuration though. And rare. So it's novel as well

    It's a great wheeling rig as well...Short wheelbase, excellent low end torque, and plenty of grunt for the larger tires/wheels.

    what happen to your sporty stripes!?
    maybe there should be loss of points for no OEM stripes lol
    is that tailgate at least still authentic?

    Wow, the e-locker was only a $550 add on back then? Damn...

    Although I guess by today's dollar that would be about equal money to getting an ARB installed

    When was that? I didn't know that you could have Toyota add a locker after the truck was sold, since that involves putting a whole new rear axle in. The TRD elockers only fit the 8.4" axle housing iirc

    i wanna say between 98 and 2000 when I saw the new crop on the lot and inquired about that TRD feature I did not have
    I do recall they would have to swap the axle so that +2K is probably on the money
    my memory is a bit worn after 20yrs...

    I love the look of the reg cab, but not having the storage space of an extra cab suuucks sometimes. Gun cases have to go in the bed. I have to go to the grocery store by myself. When I go ride it looks like I'm making an overland trip to Brazil.
