    Tacoma is stock and staying that way, Pickup is TBA as of now.
    Used to stand for "Sport Rally 5 speed" way back in the day but those days are long gone lol, it just became a popular upper trim name.

    I Still vote sell your truck and buy a 4x4 one... if you play the game right you could end up with a better truck anyways, plus resell will be bad on a converted 4x4...

    but since your family owns a "dirt racing shop" you could just make your truck a sick desert Prerunner style truck

    You know you have a 4x4 truck if you have a knob that turns the truck from 2wd to 4wd. If you don't have this knob you have a 4x2, or 2wd...

    Also taking some time to write your post on here might help others understand you and clear up some confusion... Think about writing a response for an english class, doesn't have to be perfect but

    This thread is interesting, nice to have one of these every once and awhile...

    Going to sit back and see what happens....just from my observation and one of the OP's comments, the truck has been abused...IE: previous owner, burnouts the month before he bought it...one has to wonder what else has been neglected or improperly used...

    First truck, 17, wants to keep it forever, LOL...Youngin's...

    I'm keeping my truck until it dies, then I will mount it up on a stand to remember the memories I had with this truck.

    If you have a 10k debt at 17....I think you should be worrying about paying that off then worrying about modding the truck

    Again man you have to at least use some grammar when typing so we can understand what your saying. Periods help. And 10k is a lot of money to save up working at the wage of a 17 year old. Not saying it can't be done.
