    Currently sitting at the airport waiting to fly out and pick up my first Tacoma. Hopefully in person she checks out as nice as she looked online.

    Will acquiring this finally make me a real mountain biker?

    Not sure, might be a bit more dependent on a mountain bike and skills.


    But it could most certainly help you play one on tv.

    Those are pretty sleek, just wondering if you have to pre-mix the fuel for those?

    I was told I didn't even need to pre-mix the oil on this rig, but the engine blew up at the start of July so maybe I was misinformed.

    Ouch.


    Still pretty but a motorcycle that requires you to carry a back up cycle, seems overkill to me.


    Seriously, nice bikes.

    Got it. Even better condition than I was expecting! Well worth the two years of intermittently searching. The 20 hour roadtrip home should be a good judge of the mechanical condition.IMG_20190809_094425.jpg MVIMG_20190809_101608.jpg Check out the gauge cluster for a sneak peak of whats under the hood.

    I think that's 17 in/hg of vacuum, which is right where it should be at cruising. :thumbsup:

    Awesome truck! Nice find! Let us know how it drives on the trip back home, and welcome to TW.

    That makes more sense. I know those 4.0's are good engines, but I was thinking 17lb's was a little on the high side.

    Well guys now for some beauty shots. Still trying to figure out exactly what parts are on it, dealer had no clue what they actually had.

    Full King suspension: Anyone know the model/amount of travel?

    IMG_20190809_150208.jpg IMG_20190809_150220.jpg

    TRD Super Charger: Any way to check if it's stock or issues to look for?

    IMG_20190809_152123.jpg

    Picked up a cap already from another forum member here in Texas. Great guy, easiest transaction ever.
    IMG_20190809_152320.jpg

    Ohh and one more thing. Did I ever mention that this rig is manual?
