    One thing you are going to notice is that quite a few of the pictures don't have locations. This is because I wasn't paying attention to exactly where we were while on the highway. This 2012 RC with T4R wheels was one of those vehicles...

    And not originally a California truck from what I can tell...

    With the exception of a couple sparsely populated counties, all vehicles 1976 and newer registered in California have to get a smog test every two years. I don't know how long this has been the case, but for well over a decade, vehicles purchased new in California are exempt from smog check for the first eight years after purchase. If the vehicle is sold to somebody outside the original owner's family when it is four years old or older, it has to get tested. This '07 Tacoma was tested for the first time in July 2022, which indicates that it was probably sold new elsewhere.

    How do you find all this information out? :rofl:
    You ever thought about being a P.I.?
    Seriously man. You would make a good one.
    Your attention to detail and ability to “find out” are awesome.

    I myself, I’d make a horrible P.I.
    I just don’t pay enough attention to my surroundings.

    “Are you sure?”

    “Well no, but did you see that 2008 limited T4R down the street? Fucking mint!”

    So many RC trucks in here. I want a RCSB 4.0 6MT 4x4. D:

    But, the problem is, if I got one, which one would get an engine swap first? And which one would get what engine?

    I wouldn't mind converting mine into an X-Runner when the 2.7L wears out!

    It's burning a tiny bit of oil at 155K, so if I hit the lottery or something, I'll do the swap sooner...

    What do you want to put in? 3.4, 4.0, or something more... Spicy?

    Personally, I want a RCSB with a 2JZ, and I want a LS3 in my DCSB.

    Lottery indeed.

    4.0L, as that would likely be the easiest to retrofit...

    4.0 isn't a bad engine, really. I like it, it's just... Not quite as much get up and go as I prefer. D:
