    What do all the acronyms mean? I've gleaned OEM, OR and a few others, but is there a comprehensive list of acronyms? Iv'e done some forum searches and gone back into old, very old, threads, but most of you cats are so deep into the Taco's this basic entry level knowledge doesn't appear to be out there.
    Your help is appreciated.

    Hmmm... lemme think of the ones I know off the top of my head:

    OEM- "On every model" (meaning stock/from factory)
    OR- off road
    DCSB- double cab short bed
    DCLB- double cab long bed
    AC-access cab (when talking about models)
    CMC- cab mount chop (modification)
    RTT- roof top tent

    Feel free to add to this list. Hope this helps!
