    I wanted to see what your Tacoma drive train has 2WD or 4WD or heavily modified/fabricated suspension with either...

    Vote and let's see which rules?

    Long travel is a type of suspension, not a type of drive train. I'm confused.

    ^This. Seems like a silly poll unless you broke long travel out between the two drive trains.

    seems I've always had a Toyota 4WD, this last one we went with a 2WD Pre runner, thought I might save a few bucks on gas, and if it gets bad out we have back up transportation
    [​IMG]


    but the truck is so much more easier to drive, just aint got the power or tire size
