I've realized I have a romance with my tacoma (Tacomance?)... I can't give her up on trade for a proper Jeep. Irrationally perhaps this little truck has been a vehicle I've wanted since they appeared when i was a kid some 20 years ago, and just able to afford past year. My previous '96 dodge was also in many respects a part of my family for a long time, rode til the wheels were worth more than the vehicle itself before I sold it. Figure I'll do the same again.
I'm going to stretch my DD for now. Weld/repair/tire shop on hwy 124 is going to hook me up with some bigger (lightly used) trail tires for a hundred bucks on part trade this weekend, that'l be nice.
The old man emu kits look like a great objective for my 2015 upgrade. Just had to drop about 10k in hospital bills for wife's emergency birth so..... yeah, stuff!
Link to suspension kit i've been eyeballing for a year now... Friggin Aussies have done some homework:
http://www.oldmanemu.com.au/old-man-emu-suspension-selector/Thanks again for ride, since I can't crawl or anything I've been missing the awesome of GATR since last Jan's ride. But I do greatly appreciate the planning, company I met, and support. I'll stop rambling now.
Cheers
Tom
