    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Coming from someone that dailies an older BMW, I guess we like high costs for all our vehicles. Nothing ages worse than a euro car.

    Gotcha, headlight cutout looked very not tacoma for some reason.

    Thats it, my truck is being used exclusively, for Costco runs now, and will never see dirt again.

    Wife would be pissed, she knows how my truck acts up all the time.

    Dope, there goes my afternoon. gonna be glued to my phone.

    I mean, this is still the only thread left on the internet that has cool trucks and people who wrench on them.
    I feel like every other website is either a poverty build which are siiiick but not always peak performance.
    And the daddy’s money builds… not necessarily daddy’s money but the concept that a wallet not a welder built the truck.

    now not all of us are master fabricators but responsible research and purchasing is just as important to your goal as the welds being thrown down.

    so it’s definitely not the LT BS that used to be grizzly old men with caged linked motor swapped tacos

    but it’s still the current/next generation of off-roading enthusiasts with a drive to push the boundaries of what’s reasonable :rofl:

    I feel like this is targeted towards me being 19 and throwing 40s on a taco with the least amount of work possible :rofl:

    The machines are awesome.

    the people that own them generally suck. I’ve had 4, every time, I find myself surrounded by drunks that can’t control themselves. ‍♂️

    I’m a SxS hater, I just think they’re expensive for what you get out of them. They also lull people into a false sense of security with the visible “roll cage” that makes people think they’re not going to fold like cardboard in a crash.

    They’re notorious patient generators for us. When you can’t tell what’s damage from the crash and what’s extrication from the fire department…yeah. Not a big fan imo.

    yeah its really fun on facebook groups and whatnot of what people will fight to say sxs stock cages are fine when in fact they will fold and ive seen it in a rollover that was only about 40 mph... a pillar completely folded in and if it had happened another 6 inches back dude would not be alive today, instead he just ended with a little bump and cut on his head.

    Guys will dump 50k plus into them and walk away when I tell them 3k for a legit cage.

    Plus, they get everything shut down around here.
