    So, I looked at a 62 for sale today

    The 62 Series, was a huge improvement over the 60 Series 2F, etc. They only produced it for 3 years. The 62 Series parts, that aren't interchangeable with the 60, are getting harder to find. I'd buy this only as a donor (Spare parts) truck. Mine was purchased brand new in May of 88. 300+K on...

    Decked storage vs bedslide for Tacoma with cap

    We went with the Bed-slide system, for our Tacoma TRD Off-road Short-bed. Very handy for packing for different trips. The tie-downs are strong. We found storage bins that stake, and lock in place. Small rachet-straps keeps everything secure.
