    If I hear the right number it's gone. I love my 4runner but I'm not gonna be one of those people who drives the same vehicle forever. Apparently when I get the dash done I can have a '16 taco as a loaner. Could be very dangerous

    Didn't like the '16 when I drove it. Felt very underpowered.

    You could get a nice used tundra for that, or any half ton for that matter

    I love the tundra and they're certainly a good daily, I'm just not sure I wanna continue paying toyota aftermarket parts prices

    My biggest disappointment with the '16 taco is they reused the same damn cab and doors. I thought it looked good in pics, til I saw one in person a few weeks ago and couldn't stop staring at the same damn cab I have. Seems like toyota was lazy.

    I love my Tundra. I don't think I could ever go back to a V6 after driving this- especially S/C'd.

    That's my thoughts as well it looks good but you can definitely tell it's just a front and rear make over with the same ol center. Also the interior is 10% XB interior. Meh

    Definitely wanna hear what you think of the 2016 Tacoma if you do end up driving one.
    I'm one of those people that does drive the same thing forever. My Tacoma will still be my daily even when I get the 4runner project done- the Runner will be my street-legal offroad/rescue rig. I treat vehicles like I treat my guns- once it's mine, it will always be mine. I have a hard time selling anything. :D

    That's amazing. I would definitely drive that. I would add that to my collection of Yotas without a second thought if I had the chance.
    Is it me, or does one of the buttons look like a missile launch button? :laugh:

    I ordered a Black Box G1W-CB camera, it showed up today, just waiting on my hardwire kit and 32g card. I could have used it today to catch the douche that didn't yield and almost hit me!

    Some bass for the Lexus today

    I've got a few videos saved. I think I'm going to make a compilation video of the San Francisco drivers. Especially at this specific intersection on my way home.

    Maybe some of those fancy poly exhaust hangers would help

    I'm pretty sure it's the clamps. It loosened up and pivoted the part that goes over the axle and pan hard mount. So it flattened out and rode on the mount lol. I just fixed it tonight.

    Loosened the clamps and stood the pipe up and re clamped it. Might take it to exhaust shop to weld it up.

    Not surprising. I would have skipped those awful u-bolt clamps to begin with. Welded or those neat Dynomax clamps for me.

    Anyways, got some complaints today that my 4Runner can't tow a small boat worth shit. Tires are too big and heavy I guess.

    Maybe I just didn't crank down on it hard enough the first time. Plus you ran yours all the way back right? Maybe me not putting the end pipe on made it vibrate more.

    There were some true assholes showing their colors hahaha. I'm gonna move the "TOYOTA" above "TACO" and then 4x4 will be above prerunner, trollolol. Going to start the conversion soon, I'm excited.
