Well here she is:

3rd Taco - 1st 5-Lug.

Taco #1 = 97 4x4 V6

Taco #2 = 13 4x4 V6

Then.... 14 Tundra

Too big to park..... If I can fit, then I can't open the door!

So back to 96 RWD V6...….5-Lug?

What's a 5-Lug, I said..... after I bought it.

Here she be.

This is gonna be.... different.... but fun!

Like a go-cart with a pickup bed

Progress to come: stay tuned...

Had a weird rattle sound when stopped in Drive, that would go away if I changed to Neutral?

Dealer said if was the Catalytic Converter, but they don't make a California "CARB" compliant one anymore.

Found one at O'Reilly's:

Magnaflow Direct Fit CARB compliant:

#4481609

Only took 30 Min to do, now she's quit as a hybrid.
