    I've already got the regear and lockers, and a nice suspension setup. I might consider going dual tcases, stock front/4.7 gears rear. Maybe some nice, REAL beadlocks?

    that's one thing i would never buy. simply because of the cost - way too expensive. i can't imagine spending that kind of money on that.

    I would pay for a supercharger if the truck didn't need to run on premium afterwords. That's the main reason I could justify trading in my Acura for the Tacoma V6 to my wife. Even though the Acura got a mile or 2 per gallon better, when you calculate the cost of regular vs. premium the Tacoma came out ahead.

    I wasn't looking for a gas sipping vehicle but I also don't want a guzzler.

    For shits and gigs.....let's say each of us has a $5000 EBAY gift card and we can only spend it on our trucks like bumpers, supercharger, QUAD (something has to go in the bed), wheels , tires, etc.

    If your bored, get on EBAY and come back here with what you "would" buy and how much $$. don't go over $5000.

    Ready? Go!
