    Hello all, New to the world of Tacos used to own a 2015 Jeep Rubicon and bought a 2020 TRD in Quicksand. After looking around this forum for a day something tells me that being a Tacoma owner isn't any cheaper than being a Jeep owner. Well I guess the wife can stay made at me for awhile, Let the mods begin!

    I actually think it costs more. Two of my buddies have jeeps. Compare our bumpers and rocksliders to Jeep ones. 3 to 4 times more expensive! I think it’s due to the smaller production runs!

    Anyhow welcome!

    Jeeps are fun and the have a great following but I missed having a pickup. I think the Taco has more room then my JKU. LOL. The ride is a lot better and so is the gas mileage. As long as I don’t stuff 35s under her ;)

    Lol true, the two groups have a lot in common. Expect that I’m finding out the hard why that TACO aftermarket parts are a lot more expensive :eek: I’m starting to think that Toyota means “another thousand dollars” in Japanese
