    Oh...



    So I went up to Big Bear today to test out the four wheel drive in the snow! :D


    It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot and I feel very comfortable with the four wheel drive. It's amazing. :D

    As you can see above, I even got some pretty good action. :devil:

    I took that way up, so I wanted to take the other way down. :p


    We went to this pizza place in Running Springs anyways so it kind of made sense. :devil:

    I'd love to because they have the options I can't find in a taco like leather, sunroof, and all that fancy stuff. :D I can find quite a few with 14x,xxx miles for less than $9K. If I could get 8.5-9 for my truck on a trade I'd do it easily

    P.S. stop making me want a 4x4 4runner so bad, I hate you. :p
    I go up the 38 every time now, I hope you don't live in one of the meth labs :D

    :facepalm: Yeah Yeah... and when the new 2013ish taco comes out people will say the same thing about the new Tacoma... "Oh it's not as well built as the second gen tacos". If that is the case why not buy one of the original 4 runners instead of this model?

    PS it does look great though... good job with the build.
