    Im not trying to poke at you or anything but what is making your truck "one of a kind"?
    theres tons of tacomas around!
    To me a "show" truck is gonna be a "showroom" floor truck, maybe gets taken out on a nice sunny day or a friday night. has crazy stuff done like powder coated frame or axles...

    But everyone has different opinions about their trucks, I love to wheel mine when I get a chance, I dont wanna tear anything up though...so I dont get "too" wild. Ive only jumped it once :D :mudding:

    To each their own:cool:

    Forgot to add, personally I think you can have both, from Oct to Feb mine is a trail rig, I hit the woods and fields. As for the other months, it just sits looking pretty.

    i would say go with both. you can make it look nice and still hit some good trails, but just dont go crazy when you are out there. good luck.

    Relentless Armored! Too many others to list.
    I say it can be both. Build a DD truck to be a capable offroader. Add some custom off road parts(such as how i built my own bumper) and it will become a unique rig thats got some showy looks but ability to back up those looks! I get compliments on my bumper almost daily. My truck cleans up real nice, yet i still love to wheel it when ever I get the chance.

    You have a 2WD with an LSD. Not many places you can get to that would be much more than a dirt road.
    I saw a Prerunner with LSD try to wheel this weekend. The driver ended up riding the rest of the trip in my cab.
