[sn0wspyder]

Howdy folks so I don't know if any one as already started this thread before but I have an 01 Xtar cab and am building it up as an Expo rig but as I'm sure most of you can see most expos are the four door Tacoma. So lets see those Xtra Cabs!!! I'll up load a pic of mine when Im on my other computer.

If it's just one or two of you traveling, the Xtra cab is fine. And if you plan on sleeping in the bed of the truck, it's the better solution.

Check out Chris' Tacoma - very nicely built for long term travel.

NO - don't waste your money! The Tacoma extended cab is not a suitable platform for expedition travel - it is quite literally impossible to take it cross-country or off-road for that matter. Especially the 2001 model year.

Ask me how I know...

It just goes - anywhere! Just finished a trip - 15 states, over 5000 miles, a little wheeling in AZ and CO. You won't be disappointed.
