    Brother, I'm glad there are no bloodstains on those seats. Glad you walked away in one piece...God is indeed watching over us..sometimes!

    Thank you @JWestie, indeed, no bloodstains, praise God! some abrasions from the lower airbag, and lots of soreness and stiffness now, but I walked away! I real testament to the features of the Tacoma I (sadly) did not really consider before purchasing!

    Best wheel base available on the Tundra. Probably hell trying to make a U turn and driving up and down a parking deck.

    One time I found this Suburban blocking the aisle in a parking garage. I'm like this can't be here like this. Hook it up fly up to the roof get turned around come back down. There she is standing there, yelling about moving out. I already knew who she was from another location where the truck was abandoned over a week end. I'm like you can't block the aisle, and you don't have a permit, and you probably aren't allowed to be moving at midnight on a Saturday. She's starts with the disgruntled GF BS. Which means there ain't no talking sense to this one. I just dropped it there and said I'll back in fifteen minutes don't leave it in the aisle. Never saw the truck again. Better off with something that has a closer turning radius.

    Think it is the same as the Crew Cab 6.5’ bed. Good thing we don’t have many parking garages out here in Idaho.


    Would love to have the Regular Cab Tundra, wouldn’t mind fighting my MX gear bags in that. Unfortunate they discontinued it. Looked and looked for one before the Tacoma, couldn’t find any that weren’t beat.

    Very rarely see a RC long bed Tundra. No parking garages for me either. 3rd gen RC Tundra 8' bed would probably look very good. Toyota should be able to build those and stay compliant. Sequioa front end on a RC Tundra with rear leafs and a regular rear bumper Toyota might be on to something there.

    Oh yeah that would be cool. Probably sell about 15 of them. ;) Couple of them running around here used as ranch trucks.

    I might buy one.

    Toyota could throw in a few electric motors and a battery pack, they would sell millions of them.

    Yes, hopefully into my 80s. Few guys I ride with are in their 60s and 70s and still fairly quick, other friends of mine he is 68 his wife is 70, they are doing a 15 day ride the Himalayas this fall. Both are huge into crossfit, she still can do handstands, she is crazy fit. We have the mindset of “if you rest you rust”.

    This is from our Washington trip last September, guy in the front is 70. The 30 year old guy who was with us was bitching up a storm. We just kinda sit back and smile. :)

    Even more of reason. When I get too old for dirt bikes, I’ll switch to adventure bikes. Ultimate dream is to ride around the world. Right now trying to ride as much single track as possible.

    I'm following a guy on YT that would take an Africa Twin to different parts of the world and now he's doing a worldwide trip on his Zero Electric Motorcycle. Very cool. He's from Berlin Germany and is currently in Turkey. Amazing series. Could take a few years.
