    Yeah I get it.

    But why spend $25k on a 25 year old vehicle you know nothing about, which will probably need work to be reliable, and severely lacks in modern safety features. Especially when a new Tacoma, 4Runner, Wrangler, etc is another $15k or so.

    If that LC was $7k, sure. But they are well beyond a reasonable value. Really just the cult following at this point.

    But I still want one!! Lol.

    BINGO. People like the trucks style and character, and if they are holding value currently, imagine in another 10-15 years when there is even less of them.

    Maybe by then my 3rd gen will be worth $60k :rofl:

    Or, ICE is phased out, gasoline is made illegal, and our Yota’s all become art pieces.

    Anything that makes the 3rd gen section more bearable!

    In a not so distant future, 1st gen Tacoma’s are selling for more than 3rd gens, who’s once stellar nanny features have since turned against their owners. 4th gen Tacomas auto-pilot features ban owners from departing pavement, and have since been banned from tacomaworld.com

    I wrote it as satire, but it sounds all too realistic lol

    Anyone happen to have a set of ubolts for an icon aal kit on a 2020 being installed on stock leaf packs? Willing to pay obviously and drive mostly anywhere in the country. Going to Chula today to pick up the AAL kit is why I’m trying to find the u bolts local haha.

    I probably have a set laying around.. However a lot of the AAL kits will still allow use of the stock U bolts since the overload spring is usually removed.

    RRW Hybrid wheels are up for sale in SD if anyone is interested…I haven’t posted these up yet in the classifieds. $1k for five in excellent condition. Only mounted a month as I just swapped over to bronze.

    Can anyone verify that the axle hub nut is a 35mm socket for a 3rd gen? Assuming it’s the same as older Tacomas but a google search is not helping me.
