    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    It's not even 3" wider. Some 35s (they fit stock), a lift (they cycle 11.5" in the front and 13" in the rear so I just have to find something that matches my driving style), and it'll be fun to bring along. I'm pretty done with the Taco, I hit the point where there was nothing more that I could do that would really make it that much better for me to use, it's all depreciating returns from here. So that means it's time to move onto the next thing in line and I'm excited about the cruiser for now.

    You have a light? My stupid taco doesn't have a light but the 87 300ZX does (and two gas gauges) and so does the 93 Cruiser.... WTH Toyota?

    Well heres hoping! I don't think you'll be riding my ass in that thing when Im back in Frank though :p

    You'll be much more comfortable though..

    And I don't believe that, you could have done a lot to get more out of it. But for you i guess not.

    Fuck no, not in Frank or the lil guy. But in Igor I do.

    The last romp in it was all I could have asked for out of it, and all I ever really wanted from it when I first started wheeling. It's good, but the project is a big portion of the fun for me, I don't need a vehicle that just sits in the garage until the next trip, I need something fun to tinker on and any tinkering was only gonna drive up the cost without driving up the function enough.

    Oh i agree. The build is a huge part of it.

    That said..you could do the whole interior.

    Then there was the thought of 35s...long travel..

    Don't get me wrong, your truck was killer fun as it was. With at least LT on there wow that thing would be amazing. A regear and you're in freaking wonderland. Plus you live in a spot that is access to a TON of year round exploring and wheeling.

    So...you should be wheeling more :p then you'll break shit and have to fix it :cookiemonster: haha

    Well it sounds like you like my truck haha, you know it's for sale right :evil:

    LT was out of the question when I got my front setup right. With how it is now I already am driving at my skill level. I wanted the LT for the comfort and I really didn't need that after having the front setup properly. 35s would have still happened if I was keeping it but they aren't enough reason to keep it around.

    Youre right though, one of my big peeves about it is the lame interior and the less than stellar exterior. It makes me not want to put money into it because it is valued so low. I don't even really like being in it that much anymore, the tan interior was better. I lost my real passion for the truck itself when my green truck flipped and I lost interest after I finished putting Humpty back together in this one. Getting to the original goal for the green one with it got me to the point where I don't even like seeing it in the garage anymore. It is a kick-ass truck, that will take you anywhere, be dead reliable, and be pretty freaking comfortable... and I no longer want to own it. It's too good of a vehicle to just sit around though, someone needs to enjoy all the work I put into it.

    Can't decide the right response.

    "Since when did you only buy Tacoma's you need?"

    "Internet must be broken, Monte turned down a Tacoma."

    "Looks like Devin finally figured out Monte's password."
