    Two reasons I'm pissed:

    1. You seem too have some anti Canadian sentiment

    2. Our community just finished honoring some of home town boys that did not make it back from Afghanistan.

    So take you you comments and shove em.

    Grow up man... poking a little fun is harmless, just ask your buddy OZ who thinks all Americans don't give enough of their income to our Government - Our boys are in Afghanistan as well... am I missing something here?:confused:
    Now... back to the more appropriate discussion

    I bought the rubi over the sahara and sport because out of the box it has everything I need and to modify the other two would have been substantially more expensive

    2 dr for the above reasons ^^^ I bought the rubicon $30k... the sport @ 25K would be well over 30 to add aftermarket dana 44's lockers, electronic sway bar disconects... regear to 4.10... tires etc....

    You've got a great daily driver that's capable (Tacoma), if you want a jeep for fun get a fun jeep (I.E no doors, bucket seats, 350 engine, no worries about scratches or rain or anything)...
    I've always had CJ 5's and 7's (6) for fun toys. Great to drive on weekends, gives you that doors off, lifted, turn heads looks for between $1500 to $10000 depending how nice you want one.
    Then when your going on a road trip or to the hardware store you really appreciate the quiet ride and cold A/C of your Tacoma.

    No offense dude but you just seem to be the type with more money than brains. I still say gtfo and take your comments to the jeep forums. These boards are for those of us wanting to talk about and spend our coin on our Tacomas, which based on your lack of mods is not you. On a second note you keep bragging about living next to Google and having 6 trillion dollars in a storage facility but you would rather buy a dime a dozen rubi as apposed to making something truly unique by custom modding it yourself. Whatever floats your boat I guess:confused:

    Comming into the conversation a little late with no back history to previous posts so I wont waste my time with tying to enlighten you. My beef is with this guy, not you and has spanned more than just this thead. Did you actually start at page one or just skip to the last.

    Also I am very well aware of the people on this group. 99% are great. I have helped people a little and been helped alot. Normally I dont fall in the 1% but in this case so-be-it as this twit struck a nerve with me and I have a dont back down personality.

    The good news is it is back to work for me so I can chill and the next time I am on these forums I will be back to the happy go luck Tacoma owner as apposed to the pissed off Canadian.

    And it needs to stay where it was and not be dragged all over the forum.
