    So I know as a toyota person I'm not supposed to like jeeps buttt they are kinda fun to look at, also if they made a wrangler with a bed you'd more than likely see me driving one of those.

    Buy online and then pick-up in the store.
    That is how I bought mine and they were running a sale online.

    Same. If I didn't need a bed I would have gone with a 4Runner or a 4 door Wrangler.


    Eh, actually I'd still have my last car. It was paid off...

    I think they still are, it cut almost 40 bucks off the price when I added it to the cart.

    I really like the looks of those newer 4runners, with a tiregate and bumper in the rear, and like a cbi front bumper, and rockers, with some MT's and a 3-6 inch lift... Blacked out. Thats what my wife would be driving if I ever get 1)wealthy enough 2)a wife

    Honestly though, after this truck shits out on me I think I'm gonna go full size, and then probably back down to a tacoma when I'm in my late 30's. I've driven and used both a powerstorke diesel and a tundra prior to my truck (both were my dads/stepmoms) and something about a full size just makes you feel like a bad ass, not to mention you and your passengers have more room. With countless other benefits. What are yalls thoughts on full size vs midsize(tacomas are barely even midsize compared to f150 and 1500)

    yeah the conversions are $$$ though, I just wish it was a factory option to have a 4 door body, get rid of the back two doors and make it a bed.

    I guess it all depends on like where you live and where your at in life. I love the tacoma but i can barely make out with a girl in it without my 6'2" self hitting my knees elbows head etc on anything (just an example) and like where I live theres not really an issue trying to park or drive a full size around anywhere, same goes when i move out and go to college.
