Lol, I’ve known a few girls in my days that wore a belt buckle. Your the one putting the gay spin on it. They wore them damn well to, I might add.
Umm. . . .Sorry. I don't shop at the Buckle. Not sure I want anything you've been rubbing for awhile. lol
I don't think I want to sell it. I'm in the truck right. It only has around 100k miles. Gets me upper teens in MPG. Parks easily. No rust on body. Shocks all replaced. Frame repaired. Spent a year getting the bugs ironed out of it. Little things like the moisture on the floor boards issue that had me baffled for a bit. Initially thought it was a plugged drain tube because it only happened when I ran defrost or AC. Cleaned it out. Still leaked onto floors. Ended up tearing apart the housing to find there was another drain disconnected. Ended up swapping blower motor later after I got this figured out. Nothing major. Just the stuff that comes with a truck that sat for awhile. I'm planning on making it my daily driver for 5yrs or so.
I'll keep my eyes open. In fact, I know exactly where you can find something similar. Good friend of mine, fellow soccer dad, and part time employee is selling a 2004 Tacoma 4 door. 150-160k miles. BUT. . .it is TRD 2wd only package. Looks 4x4 but isn't. He is a retired mechanic. Was his Dad's truck. Bought it when his dad passed. Basically like a one owner vehicle. $8k. Won't find anything wrong with it. It is mint.
Nah, the 100k and 4x4 was the appealing part. Plus I remember what you paid for it. 
Enjoy it! I’ll find me a little commuter truck some day. For what they want for used trucks these days, I might just end up with a new WT package truck.

Not as rare as you may think. Pretty common. If you're ever shopping for a Toy truck and see TRD you need to verify it IS 4x4. It stands for Toyota Racing Development. They are supposed to be like a pre-runner or Baja type truck. They do surprisingly well. Generally have an electronic differential locker. My truck IS 4wd but also has this. Toyota isn't alone here either. There were quite a few Colorado and Canyons which appear 4wd but are 2wd. I think Ford had one similar as well.
Ford have one that acts like a two wheel drive but identifies as a 4 wheel drive.
Never really paid any attention too the older yotas, all the newer ones seem to be 4x4 when the TRD on the side...
A lot of those 2wd trucks will go better then a 4x4. Kinda like TC was saying, most 4x4 trucks only have two drive tires when locked in. So don’t let the badges fool you, that little TRD will go just fine for most people.
