Probably headed to West Texas next year, into rough country. Debating on fixing up the 04 F150, or getting something to throw on a trailer & drag behind the 2014. My headache is my serious off-roading starts after 3-400 miles on the interstate, so a crawler, even street-legal, is not a good plan. I don't really four-wheel but my plan is to tow bar this bitch to camp and use it accordingly for the weekend. ![[Linked Image]](http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj220/deflave25_2008/P1020059_zps6f117db7.jpg) I've got an '81 I bought when I graduated from high school...still running, but beat to hell !
Regards,
Ben

Nothing trumps being able to rent a Toyota Tacoma for $100 a month.

I'm good. Got mine a few weeks before they announced they were discontinuing the model. Worth about 10k more than i owe. ![[Linked Image]](http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j108/kellet1/IMG_20131005_142839_zpsca61c718.jpg) Very nice looking vehicle, but I've no idea what market Toyota were aiming these at? Are they meant to be an SUV or a "real" 4x4 with the the off road ability to match? The FJ has pretty good off road capability with front and rear lockers, 4 wheel hi and low. The problems are terrible visibility, too much plastic in the bumpers and the body panels prevent you from attaching a high lift jack just about anywhere unless your willing to damage them. It should be more reliable than a Jeep, but not as good off road because of the plastic and body panels. Your probably going to want to replace the front and rear bumpers with something made of steel and the roof rack with something that is stronger. I try not to run into stuff.

In 2000 I bought a new Tacoma. Told my co-workers that if you change oil and filters regularly, you are good to go for at least 200,000 miles. I was wrong. I had to replace a tail light bulb at 197,000 miles.

Going to put my 2008 Tundra up for sale and see about buying a long bed Tacoma I think. Might go back to a new Tundra, but love what I am seeing with resale on the Tacoma plus it would be a lot better offroad. 2008 Tundra with 127,000 miles anyone?

Travis When I passed the word at work that I was selling it I seriously had three people wanting it, and a fourth regretting a recent purchase. Had it sold before the day was over.

They got 0% for 5 years on all 2014's.
Travis I guess I'm not ready for a new vehicle, took me about 20 post to catch on that was the interest rate and not some kind of recall rate or something.
Otto is my co-pilot.

If Toyota wanted to dominate the off-road market they'd build something about the size of their original pickups, or a jeep-style about the size of a Samurai and include straight axles, EFI (obviously) and some [bleep]' lockers.
Travis You mean like this? ![[Linked Image]](http://www.vintageoffroad.com/vehicles/ACFBD29.jpg)

Travis You mean like this? Is that yours Steve? When I moved to Fbx years ago, they were quite common and I lusted for one quite a bit.

Aren't there new CAFE standards in the works? Thinking NOW is the time to buy if you want the real deal.
