    I have a 2011 TX pro and I love it. My moss asked me a few questions about it the other day and I was happy to talk about my baby. Mpg ride quality all the selling points. The next day he asked if I could drive to a meeting. I told him yes and I saw the look in his eye so I let him drive. Monday morning guess who just got themselves a 2012 TACO. So yes totally inspired someone to get a Taco.

    More like my buddies 95.5 tacoma inspired me! 3.4 4x4 5 speed. He beat the shit out of it for years, terrible maintenance 30k oil changes, wheeled it so hard he snapped the front sway bar, yes the sway bar not the end links. And it still runs like a champ, plenty of power and runs quiet.

    That was the largest contributing factor in me buying my 03 tacoma.

    Tacoma is stock and staying that way, Pickup is TBA as of now.
    Reasons like this are inspiring me to get a first gen to wheel with! The ideal match would be a single cab with the long bed for all my camping supplies, and room to do mods! If I could find a decent one for the right price I would get it, but I don't see them coming down to my price range for a few years! Oh well, my 78 Bronco gets the job done for the most part.

    Yeah kinda. After sitting in my Tacoma my friend nostalgia'd out and started missing his 97 Tacoma which I had before him and he wishes he'd never sold. Now he wants a T100 or Tundra since he has to fit his childrens in it.
