    So over throwing money at a stupid TJ Wrangler. Own 2 Camrys and figure a Tacoma would be much better than the Jeep

    There are many of us former (or recovering) Jeep owners! Nothing but Toyotas from now on... They don't break, even when I try to!! LOL

    Oh, and we help each other out... like when a 2WD Tacoma needs me to pull him out of a sand dune and up the Devil's Drop Off, while Jeep Club members who said it can't be done watch and eat their words!

    In fort dodge Iowa. But I have a brother in Phoenix area looking for a less rusty Taco than you find up here. Willing to travel for the right truck. Regular or extended cab. Not much need for double. Prefer a manual. Tanks for the warm welcome!

    Why not both?

    I've owned a 2nd and 3rd gen taco and love both. Can't speak to the early stuff. Ive got a CJ5 and YJ, but have had a TJ as well. There's no replacement for pulling the top off, but my sun roof helps.
