    I got this 97 Tacoma a couple of months ago. First time that I had the opportunity to really use the 4WD in it. The lady and I went to Medicine Park, Oklahoma and went up high for the view. After the initial climb was underway, my only real concern was cutting a sidewall. The Tacoma never hesitated.

    Yes these are quite capable trucks stock and become more so with mods (lifts, trail armor & bigger tires). After taking the wife out for her first trail run she thought we should get a lift like the guy we were wheelin with. :D I had already wanted one but it was great when the wife gave it the green light. Then after wheelin with the lift she thought we should get some sliders & skids. :D Moral of this story, I need to take the wife out wheelin more often! :cool:
