    Nope.

    Example, if I lift the truck from the frame, The wheel drops a good 3-4 inches (or more) before the wheel starts coming off the ground.

    Part of that is the fact that I cut the lower 8 inches of my rear fenders off.

    That's awesome, I'm going to miss that silver color. Are you going to swap the elocker over to the 4x4?
    Not even half as much as it should have. About 150,000 miles, it's looks like it's never been truly wheeled, not a spot of surface rust on the frame, and decently maintained. Although it needs a timing belt, sticker says replaced at 68 if i remember right, and new rotors. I literally stole it
    Oh and the clear coat on the roof and hood is gone but could always rattle can, wrap.... or mud haha

    I'm craving a second one. But can't find one for a good deal. Amazing how much they still go for

    A 4th? damn. I'd love a regular cab 5 speed v6 though, that'd be a badass machine. Got any pics of yours?

    Yesterday, I cut my ARB bumper to hold the LED style lights I think they should have come with. the brightness of these LED's is a bit disappointing, but have brighter replacements on the way.

    That's pretty nice, one of those popped up recently about 5 hours north for a good price. I kicked myself for a good week for not flying up haha

    Yeah I harass him about once or twice a month. It is close but still a lot plotter things to button up. Crazy how much changes in a life in 4 years lol. I changed jobs, had another kid that is now 2.5 yrs old. The one thing that hasn’t changed is I WANT MY TACOMA FINISHED!!! One day I’ll be back in da dirt and all over these threads. It’s hard to come on here and not have the truck.
