Disappointed in gen3, need advice on my gen2

Keep the 2nd gen, upgrade suspension, tires!!

 

Totally understand. I'm definitely in the keep the 2nd gen and do some upgrades camp. But I have a problem with always looking for the next upgrade to do to mine.

 

Lol my wife actually mentioned getting rid of the Miata and getting the 4runner. She doesn't want to get rid of the Tacoma. But I don't need 2 trucks.

 

Thanks. That's seems to be the consensus, and a practical choice to be honest, which also lets me keep my beloved Miata lol

 

Those Miatas in clean original low miles condition are worth keeping. They don't make those anymore!

 

Lol.. this could be fun doing minor tweaks myself after the suspension, tires, rims upgrade.

 

That thing is sweet! Definitely a keeper.

 

Here's a pic of my Tacoma. She's super clean.

 

Thank you. She'd be hard to replace.

 

Both of those would be tough to sell.

If my 2012 Tacoma had 4 real doors and 4wd, I'd still have it, too. It was very strange selling a car that's in excellent shape, I'll tell you that.

 

Agreed. It'd be tough letting them go.

 

As a fellow taco and miata owner I reiterate don't sell the miata haha

 

change your spark plugs and airfilter. that's my advice

 

Nice! Gen2 Tacoma + Miata + savings > 4runner TRD PRO

 

Thank you. Will do! Long overdue lol

 

Keep what you have,why try too fix something that isn't broke,unless you love spending money.

 

As many have mentioned, Keep what you have and make a few upgrades to satisfy that craving for something new. The gen 3's are essentially the same truck, with a few changes. Good or not is entirely subjective. They'll never be gone for good. I'd wait to see what the re-designed 4Runners are going to be like in the flesh. With the new underpinnings and power options, this may be the new cats ass. I can sympathise with the garage space issue as my partner in crime is constantly needling me to weed out the garage ("If you got rid of the (pick one, C3, MG or bike), I wouldn't have to brush the snow off my car"). It'd be tough to part with the Miata since they are so much fun to fling around. Those are keepers. Sounds like you currently have the perfect driveway. Sport, muscle, utility and everyday. Ultimately though, only you can decide what will make you happy.

Cheers

 

Thank you, will definitely keep the upgrades on the conservative side.

 

So true lol.. also looking forward to the redesigned 4runner (with turbo lol). I think this great forum convinced me to work on and keep the Tacoma.
