    Man. Its a sad day. Thats a beautiful truck. If I didnt have one Id buy it. Im closing on my dream house in a couple weeks. Im glad I was able to afford it without selling the truck. I have been saving money by eating ramen noodles though.

    Thanks for the compliments. I think you are on to something there. Unfortunately this truck has a very limited market so 90% sure I will have to part it out.

    Just out of curiosity but are there many built tacos like yours in Texas? I was under the assumption that most dudes in Texas go for full size Chevy/ford/dodge...maybe that's why it's hard to get interest in your type of truck out there :notsure:

    ... ^^^ ... Parting it out and making it (as close as possible to) stock again will widen the "pool of buyers" ... but he wants to sell it "as is" I think. ... :confused:

    He might find a buyer "as is" and save the hassle.

    Not sure.. not many I don't think. They mostly go for the bro dozers, 20" wheels with 37" tires and an 8" lift, 8" pipes coming out.. etc.
    I've had interest though but most people want a 'clean' truck and that's not this one.
    Thanks.
    Dick.

    All it takes is 1 buyer who likes your truck (and many off roaders will) and has the $$$ and you are home free. ... :D

    Arb front bumper, warn winch, All Pro rear bumper, OME up front, OME and All Pro Standard in Back, ARB locker, 34 x 10.5 KO2's, 17" Level 8 Trackers, and fancy single piece driveshaft.
    Suggestion - try listing it in the Denver craigslist. Tacoma's in Denver draw top dollar, and it's really hard to find one with any kind of build. Also, are you sure the front driveshaft vibe is really from the driveshaft, or is it from the left front CV needle bearing slop problem? GLWS

    No needle bearing with front air locker. The vibe was not there before I took the front driveshaft off (and my old man pulled it apart), and when I put it back on is when the vibe started. I've since taken it apart a few times and greased it best I could, the vibe is minimal but still noticeable.

    Thanks, I will give it a shot but usually the ad gets deleted from CL since it's not local.
