    If Toyota came out with a ''special edition" Tacoma that came with a SFA and a 2'' lift over what a Tacoma is now, would you sell your 3rd Gen and buy one? Would you change your mind if it came with a front locker? [even if it had a nanny that disconnected at 20 mph or so]

    FWIW, I'd dump my 2nd gen in a heartbeat.

    No. I don't use mine in the kind of terrain where that would be better, which is pretty much limited to rock crawling and places where articulation is needed.

    No, my Tacoma is built nicely to do the things I want, which is offroad trips with moderate trails. But I imagine those who want to do the hardest trails may find it an interesting option.

    Solid axles are over rated for most daily use. I like the taco in the package it's offered, just wish it was smaller and more basic. My wife and I have grown to love simplicity on camping trips.
    Bluetooth, AC, cruise, and manual 4wd is all I want

    I can see it now, soiled axles and lockers with electronic actuators.
    Nope, I’ll pass on that

    Give me back the 1st Gen system with the 3 gen OR Diff and I’ll be just as happy.

    Naw, I have had two solid axle rigs. No need for it unless you're heavily crawling.

    Also I would rather have my locker work in 4hi lol and front locker stock. I would be STOKED

    I just use this pig to drive the power and gas lines for cutting back trees that are within a certain distance. Wouldn’t trade it for anything. That’s why I made my company buy it.
