Took the family out to the river yesterday, and the truck swallowed up all the gear easily into the back as it always does. Then I wrestled a car seat into the back right, and my other son, who suddenly at 10 looks like a small adult. We drove to the river, and even though I slid the seat up, I felt one sons knees in my back, and then the wifer (who was shuttle bunny and hiking) told me about how she opted not to stop because getting the seat in the back was too much of PITA.
Rats.
I have an ARE cap that I love with Yakima rails on top, and I love the mileage the ridiculously huge gastank (I can drive till my bladder gives out) the Limited slip, and the ground clearance. The two doors on the other hand may be the death of the truck.
If I was a gazillionare, the next act would be simple. A tundra rock warrior with a cap, and then I would just not care at each fill up. But I am not. So, I could do a V-6 5 speed tundra access cab from 00-04 and have the current cap be a direct swap, or possibly an I-4 4wd tacoma access cab but, I have to see if the car seat will fit, and if the cap fits too...
I would love the tacoma 4 door long bed, but toyota is awfully proud of it and will not dip below 30k in these parts, and the thing is HUGE. I mean bigger than a suburban.
So, are there any major bummers in the old tundras? do they suffer from warped rotors, busted clutch pedal brackets? The tacomas, good bad or otherwise?
I am hoping to squeeze one more year out of the truck, but after yesterday, I definitely need to start shopping...
