    As in complete newbie. I don't even have a Taco yet. I joined the forum to ask questions about them. I'm pretty sure I want one.

    I'm a newbie at 4wd as well. I had a 4wd hilux years ago, but it was a lemon and I didn't take it very far.

    I'm interested in 4wd because I finally got a nice camera and I want to be able to go to places less traveled & can't hike as far as I used to. My main inspiration for getting 4wd is to be able to go to Chelsey Park in Needles at some point. & other places in the South West. I live in California.

    Thanks, I posted a couple in "offroad" and "Moab" and have one more for 1st gen. I think they are mostly answered except maybe the gearing differences between auto and manual.
    I'll probably have a lot more questions once I find a decent truck.
