Speedway Blue thread!!!

That sucks. It was just barely broke in. I have almost 422,000 on mine. Just finished my 4th trip to California and Idaho in the last 13 months. Two trips pulling trailers.

 

Last December:First trip back from Idaho:


This last trip back:

 

WOW
The problem with mine was I had a hole in the frame so even if they fixed it it wasn't going to last too much longer. They said it had about $12k in damage because the accident pretty much destroyed everything in the front even though it looked like a some what easy repair.

I'm going to miss that truck. One plus is it might get a second life. A friend of a friend of a friend has done Tacoma frame swaps so we are going to ask them if they want a part truck or maybe even fixing the truck entirely!

 

if they part it out id be interested in the back half to make into a matching trailer

 

No promises on that. I'll try to remember!

 

I love when these new modern led lights that always advertise 50million hours lifetime but it's doesn't cover the controller board that'll go out within a few yrs. Some times it creates pretty cool lighting effects for a little photo shoot

Found a shortbed speedway blue camper shell with a front runner rack for a great price. Was it an 11 hour drive total? Yes. Do I have truck parts autism? Possibly.

 

There's a SWB shell on classifieds.

 

Pic from yesterday, been in Western Mass for 6 weeks and it's the first time we get snow, I'm not mad about it.

 

This is my first post as new member. My mom recently passed and I was passed down my step-dad's (previously passed) SWB 2007 Tacoma. He was a drag racer and mechanic his whole life so me and him have done a few minor mods to the truck but when he died mom sort of let it go. Now, it's time to bring it back to life. I swear I'll drive this truck till the wheels fall off. I've read through so many threads here and have so many ideas but no idea where to actually start. Any advice?

 

Welcome to TW. Enjoy the ride.

 

I was wondering the best way to get the TRD Off-Road stickers off the side of the bed.

 

Steel wool and paint thinner

 

The steel wool won't scratch the paint?

 

I am entirely kidding. Both of those would destroy your paint.

 

I suppose I should've put that together when you said paint thinner huh? Dummies moment...in my defense I'm at the laundromat currently and just did a quick read of your reply and for some reason steel wool is what stuck out to me. Lol

 

I can't wait to paint match this cap this summer.

 

I don't suppose anyone has a part out truck with some drivers side doors and fender to sell ???

 

There's a fender on ebay, search "toyota 8p1"
