    2011 Regular Cab Tacoma 4x4
    Who was driving the light blue access cab with (what looked like) a relentless from bumper? It was lifted with a color matched topper with a URD sticker in the bottom of the glass. It got onto 225 right after me at Parker Road and got off just before the i25 split. I was driving the white regular cab with the topper and was trying to help that gold Grand Am get back on the road.

    The kid had no tow hooks anywhere on the entire car and I wasn't about to rip his bumper off. I was going to try to push but decided that it would be better to wait for a tow truck or something because the traffic was heavy through that area... I feel bad for the kid, he was completely oblivious as to why he skidded out and ended up completely on the side walk on a snow bank.

    Anyways, the point of this was to say that you have a nice truck!

    I had an 85 before I got this truck and I would have to agree. If I had to do it over again, I would get a less desirable IFS and swap a built solid axle in after the fact. I paid way to much for my 85 and had to drop money into the front axle right off the bat. I could have saved money by getting a 86-89 and doing a swap.

    Also, if I was to do it again I would actually get a 90-95 and swap a solid axle onto it. The interior room of the second gens, and the interiors in general are much much nicer than the first gens...

    I like either the old school ones or the Land Cruiser, the new one that you can get for 400 with the surf board seems kinda weak, people do some crazy stuff to these.

    I just want the body to fit on a traxxas slash 4x4, those things are sick and super fast
