    Hi guys!

    It kills me to think about trading in my trusty 95 2wd 4cyl, but I really am itching to get a 4x4 and some extra doo-dads! I'm really close to buying a new taco. I came here to commiserate with you all. :)

    Surfponto's post in the 2nd Gen forum is what got me thinking.. if he's so happy with his new 4cyl access 4x4, why can't I find one and be happy too?

    I live in NorCal.

    Welcome to TW. Get the 4x4, then drive it to some place where you couldn't take your old truck. When the smile finally goes away.....do it again.

    TBV,

    I am a Taco newbie, but it is quite simply the finest vehicle I've ever owned. You will not be dissapointed.
