    Stonewall is the fattest 5 lug slug ever
    Stonewall is my everything truck. He is a daily driver, a lawn equipment hauler, a construction material hauler, a scrap metal hauler, a newspaper truck, and an offroader- well, as close as I can get to offroading with a 2wd.
    He regularly hauls my whole family (everyone squeezes in my lovely xtracab, and two people sit in the bed when I haul the whole family.) I run at least one load of scrap metal a week, and sometimes those loads are 1000 pounds or more. He doesn't complain though. My babytruck does it all, and does it good.

    Daily driver for me less than 300 miles per week. There are several people at work who have Tacoma's we all park in one area. it looks like a Toyota sales lot! I do not need to take it to the woods if I want to go in the woods I just walk up the street.

    My truck lives a life of luxury. It stays clean and well maintained. The underside is just as clean as the top. I'm OCD that way.

    That said, I use it for what a truck is used for. I haul stuff in it and take the family on vacations in it because (to me). It is the perfect vehicle to take to CO.

    My truck (Giselle) is loving this year. I ride my bike to and from work this year and only run her on the weekends when I want to wheel or get out of town. I'm putting way less miles on it this year compared to last year when I had to commute in LA :( She gets dirty from the wheeling trips but doesn't seem to mind it; she is a dirty girl after all :D

    Someone's Tacoma in my town died yesterday on the ice. Passed it while it was upside down in the ditch, passed it again later after they had flipped it and were loading onto the rollback.

    It was sad, but all I could think about...is...can I have your TRD skid plate?????

    Mine is a work truck. Just this morning I hooked up a trailer and hauled about 4000 lbs of scrap metal from the jobsite over to a recycle yard for $$$. Poor baby probably thought it would have a simple life toting some schlub around and hopping an occasional curb. I make my trucks work. :D
