What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Eh, it'll still sell and someone will use it. 4cyl or v6 prerunner?

 

I can't imagine it was a popular combo, but it's a four banger with an automatic. A nice old man truck

 

Line-X that roof!

 

Oh yah, just put it out of its misery, the 4cyl and auto combination is a test of patience. I couldn't stand it, with a manual it feels great and plenty zippy with the automatic it's like waiting for porn on dialup.

 

I almost died.

 

Do you think it would be a tough sell around the $2200 mark after I harvest the minty bed and put my meh one back it it? I've looked at buying another bed on car-part but shipping can get pretty expensive and a grade A bed with a gate is about $1500-2000 before shipping

 

Nah, auto or not 4cyl Toys are easy to sell, people equate Toyota 4cyls with reliability. Especially older folks, even with a beat up bed if the rest is nice and decently clean, runs okay, and miles are below 200k it should sell for above 3k easy.

 

I agree, just not the easiest thing to check without taking it to someone with a special tool to measure it.

And thanks, she's daily, work truck, and trail rig all in one. Makes for an interesting vehicle.

 

I do have them Pt580-35050-lb $85.40 shipped

 

That when you blame your significant other for all your problems you can call her your wife instead of fiancé now?

 

Touché.

 

Got a shell for my ride.
Gonna paint it in a few days


I'll need a new tw sticker now also.......

 

Was it hard to find the right size?

 

Yes
I have been looking for a stepside shell for almost a year.
I wasnt going to buy a new on for 900$ plus No thanks.

Found mine for 300$ Plasti dip cammo (tan) is on the way.. I'll put up picks when its done.

 

I can imagine. I had a hard enough time finding a color-matched one for my 5' bed. Might be a regional thing though because another member, in another part of the country, reported seeing a lot of short bed caps but not a lot for regular beds. I had the opposite experience.

$300 is a steal as far as I'm concerned. I had to drive ~220 miles to get mine and I paid a premium for it. Got a nice BedRug with it, so I guess that counts for something. Happy with both.

 

I agree. If the ball pulls out of the socket it is definitely neglected maintenance.

 

Facebook is the devil, it will destroy the planet...never had it, never will!

 

I just hit 150k. I couldnt go any faster in my mudders, haha!

 

Wash, oil changed, tires rotated.

Trying to decide if I wanna drive 500 miles tomorrow...

 

150K is right around the corner for me. Repacking the wheel bearings in on the 150K maintenance to-do list. Might have to "pay the man" for that one.
