    Firstly- why? I don't understand how you even drive that around and park it anywhere, or what it's good at doing in that configuration.
    I get that most people say the same thing about mine in Maine, but it's getting a big turbo and a lot of power so I'd rather it have a low center of gravity and handle better. I just don't understand what that one is built for. I'd guess rock crawling but it has no armor, and I really don't see it flexing that well...

    I see him and his wife drive it around just fine I think you're exaggerating the size of it lol. Its still smaller than a full size truck. Its a solid front axel swapped truck. I know he goes riding alot and loads his bike in it. Its not as wild as you think it is lol.

    I’d hate to live in a world where cars have to be built for specific intent or to be easy to drive and park.

    I like cars because I like cars. If they’re hard to drive, park, or built for looks - that’s part of the fun.

    Here’s my 99 Tacoma. I bought it from a friend who was the original owner 5 years ago. He bagged it back in 99 with only 900 miles on it. I bought it and back halfed it with a 5 link and hid all the air suspension under the bed floor. It’s a v6, 5 speed, that i added the trd supercharger too along with the URD 7th injector. I kept all the creature comforts (a/c, heat, cruise control, power windows, locks etc)F0C43085-A0CF-4A05-A839-0B78FB335031.jpg697A3F70-5BA6-4362-B9B6-A02AB2C9E206.jpg 87F7C8AA-FC15-499A-9D41-559B59C91D26.jpg
