Fresh New Taco ...Bye Bye Jeep and Ford

I sold my 2005 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and 2005 Ford F350 and bought a 2011 Tacoma DC TRD Sport 4x4. I sold the Ford because it was out of warranty and I no longer have a 5th wheel toyhauler to pull (bought a mountain cabin instead). I was worried about a high repair bill and my wife wouldn't drive it. I had the Wrangler because I didn't like driving the truck everyday and it was a fun toy in the mountains.

Plans for the Taco are tinted windows, snugtop sl, RCD lift, wheels/tires, and leather interior.

I look forward to starting the mods and learning from all of your experiences. Thanks

Here is what I sold





Here is what I bought.

 

hot damn you have some nice rides. i would love more pictures of the 350 if you got em. i have a soft spot for super dutys

 

Thanks. It was a sweet truck.

 

welcome to tw.congrats on the new truck.i love superdutys and the wrangler unlimited.both were options before i bought my current 2010 tacoma.

 

Nice!! What's the plan for the Tacoma?

 

Nicely done wrangler and superduty. But how come you decided on a TRD sport if you like to off road?

 

Never mind on the plans...just read your full post. Went straight for the pics and dint read it all.

 

judging by how nice you set those two up, the taco will look pretty nice soon. welcome from GA.

 

Only option that was really different was the rear locker. I am not going to rock crawl the Tacoma. Just moderate off road trails. The look of the sport (hood scoop, and color keyed mirror,handles,bumpers, etc. ) just look more high end to me. I can always add a locker if I want to later with a re-gear.

 

Thanks. Thats the plan.

I also just sold my wifes Pilot and bought her a 2011 Ford Edge Sport - 305HP and Paddle Shifters (hauls the mail). 2 new 2011's in the stable.

 

congrats on the taco. that new edge is sharp too!

Why not keep the jeep if your going to offroad? Looks pretty capable to me, even more then a tacoma stock. If I bought a cabin I'd sell the F-350 and the fifth wheel too. congrats on the Tacoma

 

Jeep is not a daily driver and my wife hates driving in it. It doesn't work well for commuting. I can make the Tacoma just as capable for the stuff I am going to tackle and still have a much more comfortable daily driver. Wife will drive the Tacoma once and a while and I can drive her Edge.

 

good looking vehicles! i like how you actually post pics! haha

Looking forward to a build thread on your truck.

 

Nice SuperCrew and Jeep. You're going to enjoy the Tacoma.
