It's official, I became a Tacoma owner today! (pics)

Finally sold my Siverado, and picked up a 2001 Regular Cab, Shortbed, 5 speed, 4x4 with 62k, on 33's in MINT CONDITION, and a few minor issues For $2500. With that in mind, I wanted a fixer-upper, and I have a few bucks left over from the silvy sale to get it up to par.



It's gonna be fun.













Minor collision with a forklift

Superior weather protection

Even came with some free goodies

This is what I sold

At a TW meet. I was a Wanna-be.

It needs: New bed or bedsides, Radio, O2 sensors/fuel pump(impossible to drive), Wheels n Tires (none of them match, going down to 31 inch treadwrights), Front/back windshield, Im sure there is more. You know, just the usual. U mirin?

 

What's up man, I remeber you and your brother were out there with us right? I remember your front end on the silverado was air born half the time in the whoops.......you'll fit in here real well!

That's a nice little truck man, great deal!

PS - stay with 33's and fiberglass that bitch!

 

Lmao ya that was me. Motocross mentality. Faster =/= smoother in a stockish truck.

Who were you if you don't mind me asking? Trying to match profile to face.

 

Welcome aboard!

 

Welcome! Instead of just getting a new bed/bedside, make it into a flat bed?

 

thats funny man, im the same way.

its true, faster=smoother

 

Makes me feel kinda silly spnding $33K on one last month! Welcome aboard!

 

Thanks everybody! It died 4 times on the way home(less than a mile), but Im super attached already <3 Did I dun goof on spending this much on a POS?

Not in the fullsize, I just got in the zone too hard I guess

I never thought of that...Interesting Idea though, could look pretty badass

 

Welcome! x2 on making it a flat bed

 

i say...

collect insurance, keep the bed the way it is, fix with insurance money.

any insurance money left ofer after its fixed.... MID TRAVEL!

 

^ OHHHH LAWWDDDDDD at flatbed pics

That would be sick. I dont know if I have enough funds to get everything running mint, buy a welder, metal, AND do an SAS which would be necessary

I got it after the forklift incident, and its a bonded title, so idk bout that insurance deal

AND I need to save a few Hundred to buy a 12 gauge

 

SAS doesn't need to be done right away. Can always come in time.

 

Ill be broke in time though...

Another sweet feature i just discovered: Stolen single den samsung deck underneath the front seat!

 

Your truck looks a bit beat up man. I hope you got it for a hell of a deal, like under 7k.

 

Notsherriffsrs...

$2500. Is that fair? It's beat to chit, but Im gonna have fun with it.

 

Yeah. 3.4L? Guess I should have read the original again. Drinking and watching football makes me lose focus. I would start with a good suspension. You may have a lift, but what kind? Spacer, coils? What? I would start with that. Body can look like shit, but as long as the suspension/engine runs well you can't go wrong.

 

Haha I know how that goes, anything makes me lose focus. I think its got either the 2.7L or 2.4L and the 5 speed manual.
I have no idea on the lift, if any TBH, the tires rub like a somebish, but the cv angles aren't bad at all.
First priority is getting it drivable. Ill probably throw in 02 sensors Monday, and if that doesnt fix it, fuel pump. The scanner said fuel pump though.

There is no lift that I can see, at least no spacers on the coils or anything, and no blocks on the back. The leafs do have some negative arch, maybe an AAL? Iv only ever dealt with Dropbracket Torsion Bar Lifts

 

Snap some pics, guys here will tell ya what it's got.

Welcome to your new lifelong obsession

 

lol you can talk like this on tw....no one understands it hhaha dude i am so glad you are in the tacoma family now..... soniamproud.jpeg
