This wouldn't be a maroon colored Tacoma would it? There was one at
HRP one night and it was a 4X4 that had been lowered with Z rated
street tires. Guy had a SC on
it and was running 14.7's. Real nice guy too.
Too bad about the DS. At least it's under warranty. Tell the grease
monkeys at the dealership to use a torque wrench this time! ;-)
