Because cheapee then a 6lug.


If I could find a 6lug for cheap with a decent cab ill tale that

 

What's your budget?

 

I should probably look around @what road or @E30325 area and find one with a rusted frame

 

2k for a parts truck.

But tht wont happen soon, need to save up first

 

This is something you'll never see again. A Tacoma with a coilspring rear end.

@Sperrunner

I found you a cab.

you said a ext cab v6 4x4 R150F

 

I'm in Oregon, we don't do rusty frames here

 

I'm in Indiana in case you haven't noticed rust capital lol. Trust in the rust lol.

I'm inserting Barney blood in the tacoma lol royal purple HMX 5w-30 with the

$55 toyota 90915-YZZD3 oil filter 1 case (QTY 10)

toyota 90915-YZZD3 FILTER

 

How much did that stuff run you?

 

@Sperrunner

This is your best bet. An entire v6 4x4, with a bent frame. I'd buy it myself if I had the room. https://siskiyou.craigslist.org/cto/d/1999-toyota-tacoma-4x4/6660534641.html

This one looks like a v6, call the guy: https://humboldt.craigslist.org/cto/d/1999-tacoma/6652648245.html

Flatbed for a 1997: https://redding.craigslist.org/cto/d/rock-crawler-style-bed-for/6668163489.html

That's from 30 mins of searching. Look in very rural areas, those will have a lot of undervalued 4x4 trucks. I find that the rural areas have the highest concentration of 4x4 wrecks for sale. LOTS of 4x4 wrecks in Oregon, they just get more common until you reach the Oregon border.

 

$55 for 6 quarts it's on the pricy side but it's great first 2 changes are short 3,000 miles but I'm on my 3rd now and I should let it run 10k but i'll keep an eye on it around 4-5

 

Why are the first two short? I really wanna do a some UOA to see what I can actually take my oil to. I've been using Mobil one full synthetic, cheap in the 5 quart jugs and good oil

 

According to R.P it cleans the engine. And my bad it's 15,000 miles not 10,000. I'm sending a sample to Blackstone and i'll post the results when I get them

 

@Sperrunner kinda hammered but fits the bill, I'd offer him 1500

Also pretty beat and a 2.7

Just realized the first has a salvage title so idk if that's a deal breaker to you. Idk why it would matter on a wheeling truck though

 

Nice, I need to hit up blackstone. I've heard things about RP shearing off early compared to other high end oils like amsoil though, curious about results for sure

 

@Speedytech7

 

first I heard that I might have to go to amsoil lol I want this truck to last me forever.

damn must of been a fun recovery

 

I've seen it several times browsing through forums on bob is the oil guy (not a member there) not educated by any means on the matter, I've just heard it more then once YMMV
