    Shitboxes are fun until you have to buy a trailer, tow pig and maintain it all and have a place to park it all.

    Everyone always has their own opinion but after doing both, id rather have a well built daily crawler and just enjoy it and know my limits and not follow buggies in it lol.

    I mean what’s diff than putting tons under a yota? Real talk. Jeeps are just easier to swap cause they’re already factory solid axle

    Plus just because you break a shit box and don't have to worry about driving it home doesn't mean you don't have to fix whatever you break lmao

    You can drive a yota for 600k miles tho, a D30 would explode on stock tires after 200k of street miles

    Speaking of which tho, are D30s still in two door JLs? Need to look that up

    Well, I'll certainly have to drive it to and from gatherings. Ain't got no tow pig moneys for the foreseeable future lmao.

    Needs AC, and inspection/reg and everything.

    Just something I can bump around in. 1st gen access cab trd offroad. ome Lift, sliders/skids maybe bumper.

    I don't need 47s and tons. Just a lil beater

    Yep lol. I mean trailering is nice don’t get me wrong. But my budget and life and wheeling style could all be done with just one well built rig and a little less liquid confidence and more sitting around a campfire lol.

    My truck is currently topless, too lol. That chunk had always turned out to be loose lower control arm bolts for me. Try torquing them to 130 ft.lbs and see if it goes away

    True but idk. I try to be realistic like you are. I mean look how many miles are on your rig. If I still have stock suspension at 200k then ima just shoot myself cause I fail at life lmao

    You don't need tons...

    When I first got the Taco i'd have a overland build with a LT kit. Now I have a Dana 80 sitting in my garage

    Tried that, shit was tight.... my lower ball joint boot is pretty much toast, it’s getting louder and more frequent. It started off as a faint creaking, now it’s a full on clunk with any change of momentum.

    Take a pry bar to the control arm and spindle to see if your ball joint is toast.

    Well yeah but a $180 set of 4600s is a lot cheaper than everything needed to swap a couple axles :D

    I am determined to talk you off the cliff and get ya into a beater :devil: you can get any of the first three gens 4Runner for a lot cheaper than a first gen Taco and they'd still have comfy stuff like AC.

    :drool::drool::drool: whodat
