    I think the deciding factor for me is if it can make a halfway decent tow rig. Also, flipping it is probably a bad idea as I'm horrible at selling things. :eek:

    power wise it will tow it just fine. Stopping it is the issue. Get a trailer with brakes and get some good brakes for the taco

    Mine left this puddle in about 2 hours. I check the oil level frequently and it doesn't seem to use much oil but it still scares me

    Nice!

    Yes be cool. Fun for you no doubt.

    But no. Would not tow your crawler for shit.

    2nd gen would do better.

    But all the cool people have two tacomas :D haha

    We flat towed our 85 runner with our 96 taco. It does it, but not very well. Towing a rig on a flatbed would probably be too much for a first gen. Heck our 2002 tundra is hardly enough to trailer our crawler.

    Wonder if I changed to 10w40 (it's already hot here) for a month or so until I fixed the leak would that help slow it since it's thicker oil

    I know he CAN say whatever he wants. But if you got kids? would you want your kids saying "insertnamedamn" or cursing in front of you?

    TRUE, but how can one not read it.

    Sorry, if I come across a certain way . . . .
