MARYLAND TACOMAS

I have Ethan's stainless steel skid on my 04 tacoma. My truck is pictured on his website.

 

My truck pic is here on his TW ad too.

 

Do what I do, buy a already rusty cheap winter beater tacoma 4x4 and garage the rust free one during the winter months.

 

Do you have a different vehicle for every day of the week?

 

Yeah I just sent a message on his thread earlier asking if he still made them.

 

I have at least 2 of everything, 2 triple locked fzj80 Landcruisers, 2 tacoma TRD's and 3 4runners. 3 streetbikes, 2 honda atvs. Unfortunately because I'm downsizing in preparation for my move to my cabin I'm down to one classic car, I sold my other 2. But all my stuff is old, my newest vehicle is my two 04 tacomas. I can't afford a new truck like you guys.

 

My skid is about 5 years old and still looks new.

 

What was your tacoma like when you bought it at 500$?

 

Rob i'll sell you a gto. Like the chevelle but faster. Some assembly required.

 

All stock with a seized 3.4 and a dirty interior. Only had 147k miles on it. Bed & back of the ext cab was filled of empty oil containers, i noticed that the Jiffy Lube oil filter loose. I installed a used 69k mile 3.4 that I bought from a Arizona salvage yard. I replaced all the hoses, belts, wp, a bunch of gaskets while it was on the engine stand. I replaced the clutch too while the motor was out. I got it up & running a week before I took it on a 3300 mile camping trip, never had a issue with this truck. Then came the suspension lift, tundra brakes, poly bushings, wheels & tires... Undercarriage on this truck is beautiful, no rust at all. That's why I garage it in the winter to help keep it that way.

 

That Pontiac must have a Chevy motor!

 

Something like that. Probably an LS swap.

 

Awesome man.

 

Quite the collection, my friend! I'm sure the ATVs would come in handy at the cabin.
What kind of street bikes, and does your downsizing involve selling them?

 

KZ900

 

Thanks. I paid $600 for this 04 Tacoma with a rusted area on the frame from a fellow TW member. Joe @Mobtown Offroad cutout & welded in a new patch of metal for me. My stepson drove it for 3 years and now it's just my winter beater. I bought my lifted Landcruiser from another TW member @travistheone as pictured for $1700.

 

All I have left is these 2 old kz's, a 900 & a 1000. And my Harley but I use the Harley up on the mountain as a enduro. I already have a buyer lined up for the kawasakis.

 

I love this place. haha

 

That's a beautiful Harley! And it looks like a nice slice of paradise you've got yourself there!

 

Thanks, beautiful mountains of WV. I'll be having another TW meet up there this Fall hopefully you can make it. I'll mention it on this Md thread. It's only a 2 hours drive from Baltimore.
