Was looking at new tacoma’s as a new daily but stumbled upon this.

From a reputable dealership that has a 4.9/5 rating on Google from 122 reviews.

They included an inspection list and proved that they addressed those problems.

If I’m being honest, I’m tempted.

Should I move on or should i strongly consider?

Went to the top of Coldwater Canyon, then back down and then up Slade Cyn to Upper Lytle Creek rd and pulled out for some more hanging and then down to lone pine cyn rd.

If youre near Austin, check out DOMO its a great offroad park. I went a few weeks ago and had a blast! They had some easy trails like this one (got harder because of the mud lol) but they do have some moderate to difficult trails.

Hey everyone! I'm designing the sidewall of my off-road tire and I want to make it look as aggressive and intimidating as possible. I'm looking for inspiration from one of these three animals:

• Deathstalker Scorpion: its sharp stinger and venomous sting.
• Saltwater Crocodile: its massive bite, imposing size, and armored back scales.
• Great White Shark: its dominance, threatening presence, and razor-sharp, serrated teeth.

Which animal do you think conveys the most aggression, and why?

Your feedback would be incredibly helpful for my design project. Thanks so much!!

Edit: thanks everyone for the recommendations and insight into owning each of these options im really excited to get into offroading :)

I’m looking to customize my 26’ TRD Off Road. Canopies, lights, rims, brush guards, etc. It’s gray with black trim, quad cab.

Powered step pivots have to move while exposed to fine dust, road salt and wet grit, so I am trying to understand what a PTFE-style coating changes in real use. It may reduce friction and make dirt less likely to stick, but it cannot prevent packed mud, bent linkage or corrosion at unprotected hardware. For owners who use retractable boards off pavement, did coated hinges stay smoother between cleanings, and what maintenance was still necessary after muddy trips or winter roads?
