the ignorant ricer bullshit with "american cars get shitty gas mileage and are done at 100,000" is stupid. Until you actually own one worth owning, you are not allowed to make statements like that.

Hey snakeater, I've got the pics in my trgarage man, it's going great.

Very nice truck. I look forward to getting one just like it soon. (Probably a new taco).

What about the fact that Ford's duratec engine is found in the Mazda tribute, Mazda 6, Ford Taurus, Ford escape, and some Jaguars ( I think the x-type). I think an engine is a pretty big influence.

wow! That truck is incredible! I always wanted a Taco but Im not going to pay $15k + for something I might use 4 times a year. I also liked the 4Runners but after fixing this Celica of mine I will not buy another Import unless I absolutly have to.

Thanks man. I'm enjoying the hell out of this thing. I love the 4-runners of this generation also. I was a little torn between the two, but I like to go riding on trails and such, and the 4-runners are notorious for breaking the big rear side windows on trees, rocks, etc.($$$), and they're really too "luxurious" for the type of hell I give it.
