    For my 2015 Tacoma TRD OR.
    It is not my primary every day vehicle. It sits most of the time and I drive it on the weekends or whenever I feel like it. I plan on using this for light off road / camping trips with the kids and so on. For hardcore wheelin I have a 1st Gen 4Runner and for daily driving I have a commuter car.

    What I can't decide is on whether I want a TRD Supercharger or spend that $ on Icon Stage 3 or 4 Suspension with bigger tires? I would like both, but can't afford both....
    My Friend SCd his 2nd Gen 4Runner and has had to upgrade TONS of items on the Engine to get the SC to work right. Is this the case with the 4.0s as well?

    If I were you I would save the money on a supercharger since you have a kid on the way. That money could come in handy if something happened.

    I suggest the Sienna XLE AWD mod. Kidding. Better to start saving. Diapers, Formula, daycare and misc baby stuff costs a grip. I have a 2 1/2 year old and have done nothing to my truck except a shell and tires. Suspension and overlanding mods have been put on hold.

    LOL no I refuse to drive a Mini Van. This is Child #2 after 14.5 years. Got the Tacoma to get groceries and haul baby gear since it doesn't all fit in my car.
