Try finding a decent Tacoma for $2K! I looked a few years ago--nothing less than 10K.

Nice ride Lightning--is that a 2000?
Haha thank you for your generosity, but this may surprise you...its a 1993.....

Condition's great for a '93. Yeah, the cab window didn't look quite right for a 2000!

geojames -- if you're considering a Cherokee (don't--get the Tracker!), let me know and I'll add to the litany of pro/cons nerys started. Guess which way that will be weighted?

i'm not joking stately. I put 1100+ pounds in my geo and a trailer with 200 pounds on it plus its own 150 pounds or so. thats an all up mass of what? 3200 pounds? that little 1.0 moves it JUST FINE. no complaints from me.


a little sidekick can't be THAT much heavier than a metro can it???

You guys are all pussies. The ONLY way to handle snow is with a 12" lifted 40" tire F250 with full time 4wd and dual stacks out the bed.

wait...what? lol

Mis-read your statement as putting a 1.0L into your CHEROKEE! HAHA!

Tracker has a 1.6L 80/95/105HP I-4 stock--most people find those underwhelming as it is. 3527# curb weight.

trucks.... boy do we mess up on them

mini trucks we slam them so far to the ground you hack up the bed to where you cant haul nothin

then HD trucks.... ya jack em up so high ya cant tow a trailer with out an extreme drop hitch or cant tow a goose neck or 5th wheel at all... and Leveling one imho is just STUPID cuz with out a slight rake you hook a trailer up to it and romp it your lookin at the sky. then slap mud tires on it and go out and get hung up cuz ya almost need 1.000 lbs in the bed just to get good traction since them trucks are just so stiff in the ass.

dont get me wrong... i love both kinds of trucks, some are tastefull others..... ya no but my main thing is keep it useable as a friggin truck!!!!! and if its an HD keep it to where you can still tow crap.

White Lightning do ya know what kinda head lamps those are in that dodge... those would look good in my dads truck (my old truck that im gonna trade him a 4wd 4 soon i wanna turn it into a drag truck)

Yeah, they are the Halo's. I don't know what style, but I know for sure they are Halo brand. I'd do a lot of research on them first. He likes the look of them and they look badass at night, but they aren't as bright as they are supposed to be, and they fog up regularly. They are bright don't get me wrong, just not as much as I would like if your spending close to $200 or more.
