    Stock for now.
    Won't go into details of the other cars we had. I will just say we got rid of our 95 4runner with 80k+ mi for $3500. Friend got a deal,but we needed to make space for the Taco.

    My first "fun truck" was a new 1996 Chevrolet S-10 ZR2. I loved her! I've had that thought about old girlfriends too. I was wrong about them though!

    x2 On a Jeep. And I have to be honest it is a DAILY battle to not dump this Tacoma and go pick up a 2013 Rubi.

    2020 Tacoma OR
    89 Toyota Camry - very reliable 1st car
    90 CRX - stock
    88 CRX Si - ran 11's back in 2001 - b18c turbo
    88 Civic hatch -d15 turbo - low 12's
    90 Talon TSi - AWD turbo - most unreliable POS DSM ever still ran 14's
    2000 Frontier 4x4 - 6" lift w/ 33's - just sold it last year 180k miles :(
    98 Civic Hatch - stock
    2006 Maxima - auto tranny went out 1 month after warranty expired

    2011 Subie WRX - stage 2 - ran low 12's - in 1 year / 11,000 miles i went thru: 2 wheel bearings, steering column leaking, power steering pump failing, 2 check engine lights (o2 sensor, ABS sensor) - hate getting rid of it, but it was at the dealership getting fixed more than driving it, and i drove it conservatively most of the time.... very disappointed!

    now:
    1995 240sx w/ ls1 (zo6 internals, roll cage)
    2013 Tacoma access cab 4x4 - 4banger (v8 one day)

    i might of missed one in there somewhere...

    I had two Jeeps before the Tacoma. An '01 XJ and a '97 TJ.

    SDC10716_8a086c92e83133097ef31cf8df58183890858583.jpg

    I loved them both, I'd built them both from stock. It's been an everyday battle not to trade the truck for an LJ Rubi. It was hard to see the TJ go...

    Yep I had a 84 CJ, an 01 Cherokee ans a 2006 LJ. I opted for the Tacoma for a nicer street ride but man those new Rubi's are NICE. On the computer now looking at trade-in options...................

    Yeah, they are. My father test drove one of the new 2 door Rubi's with the 3.6L Pentastar and loved it. Says it was way more powerful than his 1st Gen 4.7 Tundra.

    Had a 2007 ford sport trac. Loved the truck but had to get rid of it because it couldn't tow my 5,000 lb plus boat. This truck had a lot more creature comforts than my 2013 Taco does.
