I think I banged the gas tank off something on the way up but fuck it no leaks so it's fine! I only scraped like twice that night. Makes me want to put like 500 in it and lift it with spacers and build a shitty bumper and just beat it till it dies.

 

Man smaller gas tanks are just easier on your wallet, and better for ground clearance. You're golden!

 

Hey Guys,
I used to read and find info on here years ago, but now decided to part with my truck for a Tundra (due to my wife wanting a larger camper).
I am having a hard time deciding on what price to ask. Any input would be appreciated.
2005 Tacoma Double Cab Silver TRD Sport LB lifted 3"
230,000 kms
Dakar leafpacks
OME rear shocks
OME 885 springs, and struts
TRD exhaust (catback)
18" KMC XD Addict wheels with BFGoodrich All Terrains
17" factory wheels with Bridgestone Blizzaks
Pace Edwards sliding tonneau cover
Grillcraft grill
vent shades and bug deflector
Frame (soon to be undercoated) was just replaced and at that time the lower steering shaft was replaced along with the lower control arms and many of the brake lines.
Front pads and rotors were replaced over the winter and just serviced when summer well switched.

Body is good but not perfect, with a couple small scuffs on one box side and rf fender.

Bottom line is theres not that much out there to compare to with the add ons. I realize they don't add that much value but make it tougher to determine a value.
The math doesn't seem to add up when trading it in, so I will likely try and sell it privately.

Thanks if you read to the bottom!

 

Looks to me like most 05's are for sale between 8 and 12k. You'd probably be safe in that range. Maybe between 9 and 11k? Just going off the KM.

145k, lifted $12,000 (I'd say this is priced high)

175k, leveled $9500 (pretty reasonable)
http://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/...rd/1161990489?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

300k, Spacer lift $8000 ( Priced very high for the condition of the truck and the "mods")

Just remember modifications don't normally add value to a vehicle and they really narrow your target audience. Even though you may find the truck attractive, the 50 something year old guy looking for something to tow his speed boat to and from the lake might not find it appealing.


If I was going to sell mine I'd ask 10k or so, but I have a large number of dents and scratches. 2009, 213k on the 2.7 liter.

3 inch OME lift
LCE equal length header
aFe cat back
LCE Pro clutch
33 inch mudders for the summer and 33 inch winters
Along with custom pin striping and aerodynamic dimpling, and a few other dooodads.



Good luck with you sale! hope this helps.

 

It's the stone cold truth we all have to face. On the used market the mods are worth nothing. We all know what you have put into it and the cost but on the market it is an 11 year old truck and it will never be what you think it is worth. Sucks for sure.

 

What is the cheapest price on LR UCAs around here anyone know?

 

The Lexus got an LSD. Muahaha




And some framework!

Before


After

 

Nice, anyways, these LR UCAs are forsale if anyone is interested, make a reasonable offer. year and a half old ball joints. Also free 1/2" spacer if anyone wants it

 

Have you posted them on kijiji? I'm sure there's someone interested.

 

Not yet, need to clean them up a bit first and Im way too lazy lately lol

 

Every now and then kijiji works like a charm. I had a set of Run Flat Pirelli tires for the little car and dropped them on there and they were sold within 15 min. I knew I should have asked more but everyone was happy.

 

Isn't it the worst when you feel like you should have asked more or offered less?!

 

Meh who cares, helping someone out anyways

 

Well that is kinda a bonus I guess. Someone that needs tires and feels like they got a deal. But I was glad to see them go....Run Flats suck. E rated LT's are like pillows compared to those things. Now I have really good winters I need to sell..... Back to kijiji

 

Mitch wants a coffee meet soon, anyone down?

 

What night?

 

Well I'm basically retired (aka no engineering jobs around lol) so I'm good any time between now and employment.

 

I'm just gonna put this here.






*drops mic*

 

Well I did. And you clearly wanted to because you didn't object.

*replaces mic in stand because Mitch has butterfingers*

 

How much finger pointing would I have to take if I showed up in the Mini? LOL
