    Hells yea!
    I might not have great luck with girls either but every once in a while I will need that backseat for one...or two...:D
    It seems pretty easy to fit a sub box/amp behind the backs of the seats, will probably make great massaging seats too. That'll be fun! :p

    yeah ive never had a problem in the AC with a girl, just laid the driver seat all the way back and had her get on top. girls are more flexible than you think.

    THAT IS SO GOOD TO KNOW! Like you have no idea...I already got an offer to...ahem...christen the bed with someone. :D
    Yea, they both look kinda strangely off but in a good way. That's probably why Toyota gave us 2 options! :p

    I'm telling you, I have slept in it (pig roast all night drinking party for rugby), slept in it with someone :), and spent the night in my cab with the k9. The access is really much more useful than one would think

    I definitely believe you, if I could find the room to get a little something something going on the backseat of a Mazda3 then there would be no issues with an AC Tacoma!

    LoL Yeah. It would help if I actually was more confident in my abilities. :)

    I was working on it earlier (just got back from Monday Night BeerPong) and I got a little out of it. But anyways... :rolleyes:

    Confidence is just a word, so is "don't think, just do it!" but I always f**k off and it makes the pretty ones laugh and then I get numbers and it goes from there...oh boy does it go! :D
    Man, I wish I had a Monday night beerpong game around here! That sounds hella fun! Drunk chicks, good music, some beer what could possibly go wrong?

    Haha Virginia Tech, other side of the country from you. I find it hard to believe that we got best boobs on campus when my friends shows me pics from Arizona state. However, every weekend I am reminded exactly why we got the title :)

    Somehow I knew you were gonna say Virginia Tech...going off to college is all good no matter where but if it's the other side of the country I don't think I would be able to take the Tacoma there.
    I think I should have to have a "sleepover" at your school and you can "show me around" if you know what I mean. ;)

    Suddenly I really want to go to Virginia Tech...I still think you should "show me around" if I can visit the campus.

    Tacoholic, I am in the same boat as you are. I love to have the extra bed room in the bed of the AC. But I have decided that I will go with the DC SB when I get my truck. The main reason why I want to have the longer bed is so that I can take my dog and have room for training equipment. As of right now I do not plan on getting a cap for my truck so I can out my valuables in the back seat of the DC. Since it will be my daily driver, there might be times when I need to take people and that will make lift much easier. It will all depend on how much you can think you will use the bed. My dad also has a Tundra with an 8ft bed so if I really need to haul stuff I have that available to me. If I need to haul things in my Tacoma...there is always a trailer.

    Future owner of a DC SB 4x4 TRD Off Road in Super White

    Either way you will be happy with whatever one you decide to get. Best of luck to you.

    :eek: I'm totally coming to visit!
    It's such a hard decision...:rolleyes:
    I've got the same privilege as you, if I really need it I can use the Expedition and haul around 8 people or 8 people and 10K lbs or 10K lbs...or play big fugger SUV and take up the whole street! :D
    I guess your truck will be my clone...except with a x4 instead of a x2.

    And that you will be Sport and I will be Off Road. I am doing my research now and have gone back and forth between, AC, DC SB, and DC LB. Since I plan to go Off Roading...I want the Locker and the shorter wheelbase and that eliminated the DC LB. I figure if I go out wheeling a lot, and likely go with friends and taking a 2 hour trip to Borrego Springs will not be a fun trip. No big deal to me if I get JBL or not...I want the 4x4, Locker...that is what's important. Speaking with my Toyota guy he said getting the locker from Toyota would save me about 1500 vs the ARB.
