    Keep your Tacoma. And remember, you are on a forum with hard core Toyota guys asking if you should buy a Jeep.... You probably know the answer you are going to get from 99% of us. (I'm sure it would be reversed if you went to a Jeep forum and asked about a Taco..) Just do what makes you happy; even if that is downgrading to a jeep.

    Is your truck really turboed? You should make a build thread, sounds badass.

    This is a crazy looking word! Spell check gives these options: turbo ed and turbo-ed.

    But I am curious to know about your STS system as well. I imagine its a ton of piping. Did you go with the single (large) or double(smaller) turbos? What kind of power is it producing?
