    I 100% agree with the one piece covers though.

    After 4 months I’ve already been stuck twice in my SR5, and could have easily gotten out of both situations with a locker. The 4x4 traction control thing does not equal a locker at all lol.(I had one in my both of my 2nd gens)

    I’d like to think that at least 15% of us need them :)

    It’s $35k who fucking cares

    I’ve blown $2,000,000 in 30 years on senseless shit.

    Every day I wish I had that back

    I have a TRD 4runner and a Tacoma with auto LSD. I prefer the auto LSD...maybe im a fruitcake but they both seem to do the same damn thing and take a button to activate.

    I’m disappointed, out of all the third gen threads to mess with, not a single 2nd gen posted in here yet with their opinion on the 3rd genners

    You’re an owner and in the 2nd Gen forum, there’s no shortage of repairs, fixes, recalls, frame replacements, head gasket replacements, wheel bearings, valve covers, timing covers, throw out bearings, body mounts, rear leaf recalls, shit the list goes on.

    They’re busy over there

    I love the whole flat paint with gloss clear coat over it. Also way too much electronics. They haven’t figured out how to lock the rear end in4 hi. Also love the needle bearings. Ball bearing one one side and needle on the other. Good choice. Bed outlet is good for nespresso machine when glamping.

    Also with all the companies how is it that no one makes any aftermarket differential options? I want a true trac up front and Detroit locker in rear.

    Agreed, unless they got a rack up top.

    Why are people rabid about “low price lift kits on a $40,000 truck”. But are fine with sticker mods and plastidip?

    Steps are nice for those of us with little kids. My little ones had a hard time climbing up, so I bought them. Though for me they get in the way more than help. Once they grow up a bit I will probably take them back off.

    Haven’t you heard all the stories about guys installing a spacer lift and then their entire truck falls apart and bursts into flames?

    No mass produced supercharger for it, bunch of tech crap to break. Seems like Toyota started to market truck for city type buyers. I prefer the 3rd world reliability days.
