I don't know if I like it or not. It kind of looks like a cross between a Ford, Titan and a Dodge.

I would lift it 2-3", beef up the suspension, get it rollin on 20" cromb wheels with 35" crawler tires, put flares on the back wheel wells, try to make the front look like the last style tacoma. Then a nice baja looking bumper with some PIAA lights and a cool rear bumper with a rollbar/bed tire mount. that might do the trick, but if your gonna buy a new truck and tear it apart you have way too much money.

My brother has a Titan and it is a pretty sick truck. Gas mileage sucks, we had to fill up twice to get to Caribou.

Sharp looking truck. I'm on my 3 chevy... Had 1 ford before those 3 chevys, it was a 90 Ford Bronco... thing went up in flames while i was plowing driveways... After that I got my 89 Blazer... I call it my little toy... When I got it, it was completely stock. This is what it looked like this past summer when I finally parted ways with it. I ended up selling it because it sat in storage for the past two years. Kinda hard to drive something like this around the boston area with a 2year old.

In 01 I bought a 2000 Chevy Tahoe which was pretty nice.

But after Caleb joined us... the two doors was no longer cutting it. So my tahoe got traded in and we got a Trailblazer...

I don't mind the trailblazer... But I do miss a full size truck. The TB is definitely better than most of the smaller SUVs on the road but it's still not quite a full size truck. I do hope to get myself an Avalanche after moving to ME though :-D

thanks... I kinda miss it... but I sold it and bought my REV..... I probably wouldn't have put it back on the road til i moved back to ME and that's still a few years away and by that time there would have needed to be major body work completed. Oh well... maybe someday i can get another one. LOL... After we win the Lottto :-D
