    On another note, I'll have to get a debrief on big bear Monday morning to see if it's worth heading up there for camping.

    Hey guys new to the thread. I recently got an 08 Taco DC 4x4 SR5.

    I may have an opportunity to trade for an 07 FJ fully loaded with the same miles and locker/atrac/sub/etc.

    What do y'all think?

    I was on the fence between taco and FJ, really love the FJs. I chose Taco because I didn't want my dogs in the back of an suv on carpet.

    Today I finally got to see one in person and found out the floor is rubber... Face palm.

    I also thought the inverter, sub, and the little gauge to show how level you are were awesome!!

    Also loved the interior. Like how raw it feels but not cheap like a jeep. I dislike wranglers..

    Geez my heads a trip! And I just lifted the taco!

    Well as for right now I dont see very much snow up here. Looks pretty sad really. I think big bear is always worth a trip.

    To the guy asking about the trade, it all depends on what you want. All of us here came from tacos, I love the fj. If you can straight trade I think its a good deal.

    The 2007 FJ's were known to have weak rear differentials. You may want to look into it

    Just got a call from the dealer. They are willing to do a straight up trade for my Taco..

    Decisions decisions, I don't know what to do. I think I will go drive the FJ and see what I think this week.

    I really like the Taco but have not become overly attached to it yet so.. We will see.

    The Locker and ATRAC would be legit. As well as the rubber floors and little gauges and stuff. Its the yellow one, serious panty dropper potential with a 3" lift and clean black 16" or 17" rims with some meaty rubber!!
