    A buddy and me did some camping and canoeing the past weekend and i thought this was a pretty good shot to show where Tacomas came from to where they are now. His is a 97 and mine is an 09. These are by far my two favorite faces for a Taco

    No those are BF 325/65/R15 on 12" wheels. I used to run the same set-up on my 97 and 01. Good tire and wheel combo for running around creeks and mud but not so good on trails due to tight cornering.

    yea that's not too wide, i only had about 2" of lift on mine so i had some rubbing issues at full turn or the tire would dig into the bed when i got a little off camber, not a big deal since i wasn't out rock crawling.

    i agree with you on that. I used to have a 97 white extended cab with a topper , same wheels and all. My wife totaled it for me last year so now i'm starting over. I miss my 97:(

    i also like the bodies on the older taco's as well but its impossible to find one with low mileage. And if you do their going for ridiculous prices
