    I sold my 2005 about 8 years ago and haven't posted since. I just picked up a new 2019 TRD Sport 4x2. Yes I wanted the 2WD... I am 99% on road driving and my last one was 2WD and I never had a problem.

    I've done a few basic things... Added a 1.21GW badge and made a couple small custom tool storage boxes out of some water tight boxes from Cabella's/Bass Pro. I took the handles off and mounted them with sone T nuts I got off Amazon.

    Congrats on the truck. Nothing wrong with a 2wd Sport. I chose that configuration on purpose too. :thumbsup:

    Welcome back. Not everyone needs 4WD. I like the 1.21GW badge. Where'd you get it?


    Now show more pictures of the Corvair please.

    I bet you wish that you still had that Corvair.

    Here's a YouTube link to the 1.21 GW clip from Back to the Future. :cool:
