    I used to surf hb quite a lot and my buddy is a lifeguard there so I had up close access to their fleet and they were rusted pretty damn heavily for only being about a year old which is not suprising, too bad for the next guy who buys it though

    Not sure what you are suggesting here,, but the recoil action will bend the frame of the 3rd gen.

    I suspect Achmed doesn’t care if the frame gets damaged on his Gen3 Tacoma.

    In San Diego, Del Mar lifeguards and solana beach lifeguards have 3G tacos and a Ranger or two. All their vehicles are red. Sorry no pictures taken!

    It’s just cool to see tacos driving on the beach as lifeguard vehicles but also waves of jealousy because I could never drive my own taco on the beaches in San Diego. I couldn’t just crawl at slow speeds all day like the lifeguards do either.

    I could be wrong since I don’t remember what Maryland plates look like, but those don’t really look like plates you’d find in the US

    LS1 swap with nitros.
    Can’t wait to see what CA buys in 2035 when they ban gas powered vehicles and there is nothing out that can work all day like a Tacoma can.
