    So i sat in a stock 2013 4X4 today and i must say, it's weird having to step up to get into a tacoma where as i just sit down. Lowered feels so much better.

    Also funny story, My GF's dad who currently own a '12 DCSB 4X4 told me that she keeps falling out of her dads truck cause she's so used to mine where she can just step out and not step down :devil:

    I agree. My gen 1 Taco has a 3/4 drop which most people in my area of the world think is crazy, but it's still slightly higher than most cars. I like it that I don't have to "fall" into my truck or "climb" into it, I just get in because it's at the perfect height. When I get into my lowered VW, I'm starting to feel like that's a pain-in-the-butt because it's kind of hard to get in and out of (Perhaps that's a sign I'm getting old :eek:)

    Vintage low. :D Looks good man:thumbsup:

    Got a coworker who is working on his '76 or '78. Doing a bit of a Frankenstein build to it. Transplanting a 2rz into it. With boost in mind. As well as doing what is necessary to make it handle much much better. End result is to be able to take it to MSR as play around with at TX2K14.
