    I've had my truck aligned twice since I bought it. And that was after I messed with the suspension. The Tacoma schemes seems pretty stable. Never had any issue with tire wear or crappy handling.

    Oh, wait. There was a 3rd time but that was after I pulled a 180 on a dirt road and slammed the passenger side front wheel into a rock, popping the bead and throwing the steering wheel off by 20 degrees. The guy said he didn't have to do much, just a little bit off.

    That was only half the fun of the 360 I pulled on an iced-over bridge outside of Sonora, Tejas. That was in my XJ. Was fun shit going 60mph down the freeway sideways. :eek: The bumper finally tagged the guardrail and spun me 270 degrees so I was facing the direction I was originally travelling. The front fender was a little hosed but started it up and drove off like nothing happened. It was the best glass of bourbon on the rocks I ever had when I arrived at my Aunt and Uncle's in Austin.

    I have been quite lucky in my life.

    It was probably one of THE most serene moments I've ever experienced. And it was kind of cool to look out the driver side window and realize I was traveling down the interstate sideways. The rest of the trip after I had time to realize what had happened was pure white knuckle hell. 2nd worst ice storm I've driven through.

    Yeah it was a cool thread until everyone made a joke of it

    I never said it wasn't. But I get excellent gas mileage and with a locked rear I can go most places. I don't wanna crawl and tear up my truck... Next huge project is mid travel :)

    NOT TRUE!

    55 degree hill with ice on one side of the road: locked PreRunner would make it and open 4x4 would fail. :cool:
