    Longbed also provides a feeling of automatic superiority... hell, I look down on Tundra drivers as they don't have 4 full doors AND the longer bed.

    In town, no. In East Maui, mostly, if they are observing courtesies of the road.

    Working on it.
    I was the recipient of the taco wave when I first bought my truck and by the time it registered that Tacomas do the jeep wave thing too.... it was to late I didn't wave and was the asshole. I see so many Tacomas on the road that if I waved at them all I think my arm would fall off.

    Ripped off all four mudflaps. Scratches all down both sides 6112’s up front on 3rd notch 5100’s in back with Toytech 1” block Skids & sliders from SOS Concepts I got rid of the 1” block and put on Wheelers 1 1/2” progressive AAL. SPC UCA. Be sure your standing on the drivers side when reading the instructions! I swapped sides so many times that I can swap UCA’s in 15 minutes. I put in the 3/4” spacer to eliminate the Taco Lean, and just got my 4th alignment. Traded the OEM rims for 17” Sport rims and a bora bora 1” spacer. I got my Firestone 285/70/17 MT2’s. Pelfreybilt gas tank skid and hi-lift jack should be here Friday. Looking at bumpers, but I think they will wait for next year. So far I’m happy with my build. I’ve done it all myself, leading to a lot of cussing and frustration, but it’s all mine.
    Me and wood hate each other and I've never skinned a cow to make boots. I WANTED a hard topper, but between this stereotyping and my wife saying toppers are for old guys, maybe I'll get a Nissan Leaf,,,,,, and grow a mullet.

    So funny. Sounds like you guys are talking about buttholes.

    I gave up waving to tacomas. The risk/reward sucks. If they are Tacoma people, cool. If they aren't, some old guy follows me until I stop and asks if I was trying to flag him down.

    I do however enjoy m Tacoma to jeep wave. It's not a wave and it looks like this

    Hundreds as in 2-3-4 hundreds?

    Just trying to add up in my head how many times in the next 358 days I might see this question again.

    lol

    Enjoy your topper. Because in real life, that's legit one of the most useful things I've seen people put on their trucks as far as camping or um "over landing" it's the tent version of instant mashed potatoes. Amazing.








    Btw what type of forstner bit should
    I use for a dining table?

    Same here. Personally I've never liked the AC. Not even in full size. Unless it's like the new Chevy and dodges and still has the full doors.

    Just preference I suppose

    If I wave I rarely get a wave back. There's a couple of guys in my neighborhood who will return the wave but that's it. I have found though that Tacoma Owners are pretty friendly and will talk about their truck.
