    I drove around in a '91 Prelude for 6 years prior to the 1st gen.

    1 owner. 90k miles
    Very meticulous maint. log with all receipts of any work done.
    She gave me the original yokohamas that came stock. (Good tire, wore fast from sitting in a barn for 6 yrs.)

    I got 240k out of that pig.
    Drove it all over the country.

    I forgot about his locker. Definitely should consider trading it in. The best part is we can all gawk at his new hotness and help spend money modding it along the way!

    PS - Not directed at anyone but the answer to sweet or sour is "Yes please."

    Ninja edit - @Thatbassguy aren't you talking about building a bigger trailer? Tacoma has a longer wheelbase and probably tows better. Just saying. Do it. $$$

    I'll contribute $100 so he can get custom plates that say A55 T4C0 or 0LD FSHN.

    But watching @bkhlrTaco's crawl up the snow covered hills with little to no effort when locked, while I struggled with A-TRAC, has given me pause.

    ...but actually, the new Frontier seems pretty rad. And we know it'll be around for the next 15 years.

    I have not seen a new one in person yet but from all the pictures and video I have seen All the other trim levels besides TRD off-road (and TRD Pro and trail Hunter) look like ass in stock form

    :rofl: It's nothing personal, I think lower trim levels in stock form on most vehicles look bad. Like the plain Jane SV frontier looks bad, sport with no options Jeep truck or Jeep Wrangler looks terrible, All manufacturers want you to buy that next trim level or buy some accessories to make them look better. If someone wants to completely customize their vehicle though a base model is a good canvas

    Perhaps.
    One thing for certain, I wouldn't have made it out of the camping area with these stock Wranglers.
    Balding worse than me.

    Do it.
    I'm glad I did.

    Yeah, I'd still prefer to have lockers for certain situations. I'll fix it eventually.
