    Well if your considering getting into rock crawling and Offroad . I would tell you to buy a old toyota pickup ,sas it and not to waste your time putting money into a 2 year old truck that is going to get totally fucked up from wheeling.

    My personal experience - join this site for some pretty upgrades , get info about toyotas (my first toyota) turned into building truck up ,joined a club see my sig . Wheeling the shit out of my truck . And wishing I knew what I know now when I started . I would of kept my tacoma somewhat stock and built a trail rig.

    But if you end up doing long travel . I'd like to check it out/go for a ride :thumbsup:

    Don't get me wrong LT is cool but serious offroading and ifs don't mix . My 2 cents . Good luck !

    That machine turn isn't going to hold up well in the rocks .
    Does look cool on hot rods though .

    Thanks for not flaming the H E double hockey sticks outta me for invading. Maybe a few more will remember to keep Easter clear next year.

    To the Taco's and Runners that are coming.... Glad you can make it.

    Now as for the turns on the skid....I was skeptical too (even though I polish mine now and then) but the turns look pretty cool under his Demello bumper. I like the look. And definitely is no mall crawler.

    We used to be able to smoke in the parking garage. The walk to go off the property is only 30 seconds more, so I don't care. Just sucks when it rains out.

    Nice fkn pull!

    Don't know, b/c I have no clue what this one (or any one) would be new. I'd be happy to get a reasonable price for it if I'm moving it to someone I know of course.

    Me too. I love swirl polished things and maybe I'll fall in love with it at Rausch creek. It looks cool though! I like it, it's different

    Thanks Johnny. Do you have your build posted in here somewhere so i could check it? Not saying my resolve is wavering just want to gobble up as much info before I finally pull the trigger. Ever since I started reading Toyota Trails I've really become interested in expedition set-ups for these trucks. Why do you say IFS and offroading don't mix?

    IFS causes issues due to max lift height limitations and your flex is kinda limited.

    I95N from RT3 in RI to the first overpass. Look it up on google earth and tell me if that stretch of road isn't close enough to a runway
