    I’m sure this has been done but can someone point the direction. Don’t care about the stickers and badges or grill or lights or any other cosmetic flourishes, just the meat.

    From what I can determine the PRO isn’t worth it especially if you bringing your own wheels/tires from a gen 2.

    Only diff that really matters is the suspension, Google about it and make your own call.

    We have to give this to Liz in accounting for her to sort out and she's not in till Tuesday.

    If you're buying new and you're going for a small lift and have no other plans I think it's worth it for the warranty aspect to get a Pro. I don't think people account for their time to install a lift and some of the agro things that have happened

    Fuckin Liz. I say we actually USE our vote next board meeting. She's never available. Sarah seems much more responsible and responsive.

    I knew a Sarah once and she was unreliable as the Nissan Sentra she was driving, but oddly kinda hot in a JCPenny mom way

    Based on materials and shop costs maybe Liz or Sarah can get back to me to see if my numbers match up with theirs.

    Toyota warranty is something I’ve never needed. Willing to risk that.

    Trucks are terrible investments.

    Buy a Pro.

    The 3rd gen is not your typical Toyota quality. I don't think the quality is anywhere near that of my 1st gen that it replaced. It is better than the other three offerings from Ford and GM

    It’s cheaper and smarter to go TRDOR. Also, more manly. Buying a pro is just a TRDOR with bolt ons.

    Reverse lifecycle of a butterfly

    One day, the Sarah starts eating more, hangs upside down from a truss in Costco and spins herself into a silky cocoon or molts into a shiny chrysalis. Within its protective casing, Sarah radically transforms her body, eventually emerging as a Karen. This typically happens in their late 30s

    Agree with you 100 percent. Pre Tacoma days when they were just true Toyota pickups were the best quality. Not saying todays Tacoma isn’t good quality but Toyota took a lot of pride in the 80s and 90s with their pickups.
