$10k for a salvage truck at auction?

It's a TRD package, Limited trim, supercharged, has TRD rims (or maybe lookalikes), relatively low mileage... but it's still a salvage title. It doesn't seem like much more than a $10-15k truck with a clean title and no damage

Man, that rig is clean as hell.

 

Now build a collapseable tower and a hoop and you have portable Bball

 

Until you look at all the oil underneath it lol

 

Let's just weld it all up

Can't leak oil if it's permanently sealed

 

that's perfect, when can u do my 3.4?

 

Two things. I’m not sold on the NGK blue spark plug wires for the 5VZ. My truck and another I’ve worked on both developed corrosion on their coil pack connector contacts. Pretty hard to plug those in wrong and I’ve heard complaints about them before. Might go with OEM next.

And my brand new 3000 mile Coopers are already showing uneven wear on the front. Miss my old alignment guy. Not sure what the move is now.

 

It'll be the strongest part of your truck

 

Strong heart weak body

Just like me fr

Clean title slight body damage $12500

Does this mean that a supercharger is in the T4R's future?

It looks so much better without the steps. What year is it? Based on how far the front bumper sticks out, I'd guess '96-'00.

 

As of yesterday this wasn't exactly the plan, but the brief exchange with @Speedytech7 make me think a little more. Now instead of an entire x-pipe and sharing 2.25" x 3-6" of exhaust area, the two sides will only have about 0.5"x1.5" in a non-ideal transfer path to "balance", thus keeping them more functionally independent and still using just 1 wastegate
