    Cheaper to operate a manual 2WD too, tiny tires are cheap to replace, tranny just likes new fluid every 80-100k, front end components like balljoints and bushings are cheaper, thing should get better MPG too

    I want to get a Tacoma bed and make a trailer out of it and have it match my truck. I think that'd be pretty sweet, I've seen a couple like that. Looks really clean.

    That was the whole reason I found that truck - I was calling around to find a cheap bed to make a trailer out of.

    I feel like you could just buy some replacment bedsides and weld a frame to put them around for around the same price sane people are asking for a used bed.

    Atleast from what I remember finding when looking around.

    I've never seen a 1st gen bedside for sale - only 2nd gens. Don't the 1st gen beds come as one assembly?

    Fiberglass sides are pretty cheap and you could slap them on anything, half the people who run them just make their own mounts

    Pretty sure there just spot welded, there’s been a few pop up for sale now and again in Utah.

    Yeah I had a feeling they were spot welded. 2nd gens have them bolted on I'm guessing since I see the stock ones up for sale all the time.
