I was thinking more of you'd pop the window out from inside the truck, then lower it into a little pouch or storage compartment inside the truck behind the rear seat. I can't imagine it'd take up too much room if it was actually a thing. AND, it'd make the hard top even lighter and easier to handle.
Agreed 100% on the handle, although it really doesn't matter what the tailgate or tailgate handle says as I'm gonna put a swing out tire carrier on it anyways and cover all that up lol.
Haha I mean I don't mind the Jeep either, I've just never liked Jeep's current font compared to previous stamped tailgates. The Jeep stamping does match up historically with previous Jeep trucks nicely though. :)
I'
I'm hoping for a pop out panel that has a storage spot behind the rear seats.
And I actually like the Gladiator tailgate better than the Jeep one lol.
They're just test rigs, so if they were assembled early enough there probably weren't JL rims available. These may be running JK axles as that was all they had when built or they may have just milled out some JK rims to work. The earliest JT rig spied had really weird rims on it..
As time goes...
I feel like the initial launches of most modern truck diesels have gone terribly. Early Duramaxes had injector issues, Ford had multiple disasters like the sweet exhaust flamethrower lol, etc.
Generally by the second or third gens they've gotten most of the bugs out, and reliability begins...
A light tune does wonders for a Diesel, typically increased power AND increased economy. It's super easy to go crazy with a diesel and either make it too loud, too powerful for the transmission, too fuel hungry for the stock setup, etc. though. EFI Live's base daily driver type tunes are fantastic.
But, it's a Taco...so it won't fall apart like #3 and #4 probably will(I say that as a Chevy truck owner). The Tacoma has been the king of the midsize for a long time for good reason, even with the limited options. Hopefully the JT claims the throne :)
