    You didn't have to get a 4x4 lol. I never have owned one and don't really want to. That s10 looks clean though. Looks good with everything shaved.

    I had been working on that thing forever and just decided I wanted to go a different way with that project. I still have the dash out of it that was all smoothed and painted and striped. I will have another!

    Before the Tacoma,

    '04 VW Golf TDI GLS < biggest POS ever owned. Garbage wastegate control on the turbo, and I never got used to driving something that low to the ground = cost me 5 oil pans.
    '98 Dodge Dakota Ext Cab 2wd 5.2L 5spd. Blew the 3.55 posi and had to replace it with a 3.92 posi. FACT - Mustang GT could not pull away from it (until you got to a corner) = #1 favorite.
    '96 Merc Sable < JUNK. Drove for a couple months and traded in.
    '87 Toyota 4Runner. 22RE 2.4L 5spd = #2 favorite. What a tough little truck.
    '85 F150 4.9L auto
    '84 Olds Cutlass Calais - 305HO from a Monte SS. Cool car.
    '88 F150 4.9L 4spd < really solid truck

    before that was a couple cars my folks bought for me.

    Combine the 4Runner and the Dakota. That's why I bought the Tacoma.

    2004 Silverado Z-71. Traded my 01 4 Runner in on it in May. Very disappointed in the overall quality & it was a total pig on gas. Traded it in on my Taco in October. Got $900 less than what I originally paid for it. Winning!
