    if I have the radio up loud enough I don't hear it so much (just feel it behind my armpit), lately I have just had the radio down low trying to diagnose that cranky A/C issue!

    where did it go?

    Had a '90 MT that had to go. Didn't have the $$ to fix it.
    Then my '01 reg cab MT was traded in for a '11 DCSB. kids :gossip:

    My favorite, by far, was the '90. :D

    The tragedy is.....
    I just had all kinds of work done with the frame replacement too......that was when the wife said, "so you gonna get a bigger truck?"

    :annoyed:

    :(

    It was a brand new truck.

    yeah, I am in a middle of a damned cornfield, seems everybody is a thousand miles away lol ... but not that far

    I drove around with no A/C on the highway (had a cold spell from last weeks heat)
    was hauling it on the freeway until a copper put their lights on my ass
    but had no interior rattle going on

    another option is a 4runner, but those can be pricey compared to a smaller car, unless you get a 4runner as old as my truck
    those have depreciated $20k on the high end from MSRP
    i cannot believe it when i saw it

    Yeah, I get that. I don't have the resources for two vehicles though. As much as I'd like it. If I ever did....it would not be a Tacoma. :anonymous:
    I drove one of those when I was looking at during the '01 trade in. Thing was huge compared to the '01. Wasn't ready for it.
    Now....I'd rock one. :cool:

    I've found a 96 ext 4cyl 5 speed local, in great shape. Just need to find a buyer for my 1st Gen yota rock crawler.

    As semi-local, I want it ... as most of the SC get togethers are crawls.
    But, not much $$$ right now.

    Crap.
    Though, I’m sure you could sell it easy around here.

    I haven't posted it anywhere yet, I've got the word out with my Offroad buddies. It's as well built as a yota can be, that's not on tons. 2rz with automatic is the main feature.
