    how ya gettin on...:cool:, at the end of this month i will have had my tacoma for 1 year.. i really love the new changes, a little bigger,inside and out,lots of power:).the shape and appearence it gives off. its a nice feeling when your goin down the road and people just stares. really pleased... my previous truck was a 1995 toyota 4x4 cab an a half compact. i ran 342,000 thousand kilometers on it, still goin strong really good shape and clean inside and out "ha" most of the time,and not a hook with it,Toyota dependability.till on day me and my two buddies was coming home from work and got took off the road by a tractor trailer. needless two say lucky to be alive all of us.the truck was totalled. thats why i purched a new tacoma. hoping to put suspension lift, don't know about body lift, although it looks outstanding.
