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

Good ole tariffs. A lot of farmers in my state are already unhappy that the China soybean market evaporated

 

Thats rich guy money in the southeast. If you break 6 figures, youre doing it right.

 

Today was F150 today, because F150 pay the bills. I polished and waxed her with Porter Cable. She's going to need new rubber soon

 

I’m sure the tariffs really are affecting some businesses but after watching Pelfreybilt try to lay some of the blame for their debacle on tariffs only to hear two TW vendor fabricators laugh that off...I wonder how many place are just jacking prices up because they have an excuse.

Kinda like OPEC jacks their prices up every time a camel farts, just looking for an excuse.

 

When I was welding last year, the tariffs did make steel prices go up, but it was negligible. Addicted offroad raised prices like 20% and are now having to cut back on their designs offered. Nobody wants to pay when other companies arent raising prices.

 

Too hot in Nevada, I'm coming over

Actually thought about Flagstaff AZ (the only part of AZ that doesn't have Hell's forecast year round) but can't convince the wife on that one

 

Just driven through and Vegas of course but it's been a long time.

Utah's been floating around in my head a bit too since we went to Zion last year. Would have to get used to the stricter alcohol rules but I think I'd survive.

 

Scored this topper for $150 today. only thing wrong is one of the T handle locks doesn't work.

 

A new dash is like 300-500 bucks last i checked. Lol

 

Likely not a class A part anymore. Once they're gone they're gone. There trucks are now gettin old. I have one part in my re-paint that has been backed ordered for weeks and I'm starting to wonder if it will go NLA. I guess there's over 600 people needing the same part. It's the clip that holds the driver side side marker in

 

Really that’s backordered? I ordered mine a year ago an d there were over 300 left in the country of each

 

I have two sitting in my garage.

 

im debating replacing mine... even though mines not bad.... but a brand new toyota dash at my cost... man its tempting. lol

 

It must be a popular part because my parts guy said there's over 600 on back order with no ETA. The passenger side there's plenty to be had. Sadly this is a Tacoma only retaining clip. I was able to save the old one just in case it goes NLA

 

Do it. With that excellent Toyota discount, why not.

 

sucks when vehicles get old. dodge is terrible for discontinuing parts after only 5 years.

 

because at the rate im going i'll have a 100k stock looking tacoma. sure it'll have power. but it'll look stock. lol

 

That's because even Dodge knows their vehicles won't last longer than five years.

 

Yes, but it'll be a stock looking Tacoma WITH NEW PARTS!

 

If I knew I was going to go this far I could have bought a new truck bed four years ago. I ended up getting one off the west coast. My repaint has past the point of insanity.
