    My bad, I'll cancel my current orders and put everything back to stock.

    It's cheaper to be on his level.

    The TxTTORA FB page. :D

    Yup, that happened. Sometimes the voice of reason isn't what you want to hear.

    Been through this quite a few pages back lol.

    Let's break it down again...
    I bought a truck I can afford knowing fully well it will get abused.

    Pros of frontier:
    Price for equipment (resale hype just isn't there, I usually don't keep vehicles more than a few years at most, a similar taco would have cost 23K plus)
    Fully boxed frame
    Aluminum rail system
    More powerful (already ran a few 2nd gen 4.0L tacos and my fronty pulled them)
    Good handling for a truck

    Cons of fronty:
    Limited aftermarket
    Cheap interior
    Frontier owners aren't as fun as taco owners
    Really cheap interior
    It's a frontier

    Looks wise the 11+ taco has a nicer front end, I prefer the frontys rear though. To me it was a toss up on price for equipment and mileage. I may have made a hasty decision not to get a nicer rig with leather and heated seats, but this decision allows me to keep my cars and motorcycles without cutting into my lifestyle, which was a top priority for me. I love driving and these trucks aren't drivers vehicles at all. You cannot precisely take a corner at double+ the recommended speed without toppling over which is why I daily my old trusty bmw.

    I did check out a few tacos for under 20Gs. One in particular I liked a lot, 08 Access Cab TRD OR with the V6 in silver and 80K miles. When I put my key through the metal by the body mount due to frame rust I quickly fell out of love lol. If I were to purchase a taco I would love a Baja, especially Dylans' but my lifestyle is too important to be even more car poor than I am right now.

    Thinking of switching to Sprint for my phone provider. Anyone use them, and do you have any issues?

    I deleted more than y'all. Assume whatever reasons you want. I've talked to mike after it all and he knows why I did it.

    Maybe you'll get better reception at those remote campsites.
