    Well I did a search for a 4x4 tacoma because I'm tired of my 4x2. It looked good at first, and then I looked at the close up pics and saw the purple and that was the end of the story for me. No deal.

    Very unique. Paint looks top notch but that color is ugly.

    tinted headlights.. that's gotta suck at night..

    other than the purple, looks like a clean ride..

    cars/trucks that were repainted scare me when i am in the market for buying, i always think it was involved in a crash.. not always true though..

    I like it. It is a very clean looking ride and an original color for the new tacos.

    He did. It's just overlayed on the BSP. You could probably wet sand them off and re-clear the front end.

    why does he have it priced so low? that truck would be priced around $25-27,000 around here.

    He passed the point of not having UCA's on that truck...If you look at the photos the camber is off to try and get some caster in on the deal....

    Whoever buys that one will be buying a set of UCA's to go with it.

    2.5 is maxed out on the stock UCA's. My caster is at 1.5 and i want it at 2+ I cant get there....Truck drives good but the thought is always there...what if I bought some UCA's and hit that magic 2.4 on the caster? Would it be that good?

    He needs UCA's. Look at his tires bowed in at the bottom...Thats the only way to get any caster in em at all at that point.
