Circled back to Toyota

Hello all, a little short and sad back story. I had a 20 3rd gen tacoma I put a bunch of work into it. Regeared, wheels and tires, front and rear lockers, lift, arb twin air winch ect ect ect. And one day I got a wild idea of I want a 4 door Rubicon. More room, factory lockers redesign interior soft top ect. Went out and traded in the tacoma for a 24 rubuicon. Purchased it on July 26th, went into the shop for 3 differant issues, lack of help from the dealer, found misplaced and under torqued components on the jeep. My dear tacoma was sold and there was no way to recover it. Knowing toyotas and still wanted to keep up with a 4 door suv type I've traded the jeep in on a 2023 4runner TRD off road. I can't wait to make this thing my own and get back to exploring the trails and not the local dealership.

 

Sorry for your loss, and sorry for your Fiat experience. Welcome back to Toyota, and welcome to the forum.

 

The idea of a Jeep and what they can do are nice but the quality is something that I can no longer deal with. And I say this as a former Jeep owner.

 

Welcome

 

That's very true. I had an old tj and hated it years ago, but figured it was because of what that was. Fast forward many years later, I thought new, new chassis, etc would be the ticcket not to mention a fully loaded one. It did great off roading but the the price/value issues being so new has turned me off of Jeeps forever.

 

Welcome back and welcome to the forum!

 

You ended up at the right destination with just one extra step.

 

Great choice....welcome home!

 

I had 98 TJ. It was great to take off-road but every time I took it out I was wondering if it was going to breakdown. Had a 3rd gen Tacoma too. Decided it was too small after a few years and moved over to a 4Runner. I think I will be keeping it for a very long time.

 

Been there, done that, and got the t-shirt!
