A lesson in adversity, resilience, and discipline

I know it’s a specific kind of person looking to finish out a build but…
I’d like to offer the Tacoma up for sale as is for 6000$ or best offer.
My only request is.
It is sitting on a pair of coilovers in the front and two raceline wheels in the front that id like to keep. Otherwise I’m open to offers.
As is the truck has the stock auto trans 4WD 3.5L motor with 25k miles
Solo motorsports XLT race kit
And Deaver SUA with HD leaf pack
The truck also has a Gibson car back stainless exhaust.
Title is available if interested party is looking to keep it road legal.
If someone can post vids for me I can show the truck as the last time I was near it

 

@CygnusX191 You need another 3rd gen.

 

I appreciate you.
Yeah selling this thing would be a huge headache off my shoulders.
I know it sounds ridiculous but this truck is the main thing on my plate mentally.
I just want to be done with the person who’s holding onto it right now so that I can move on to doing what I was supposed to be doing… helping other vets

 

As my wife describes it, it's like having open tabs in your browser. Until you take care of it, you can't close the tab and it just takes up memory.

Also might be worth posting up in the local thread of where it's located. Some people may be more interested if they can just hop, skip, and jump to it and load it up.

 

dang buddy, it has been a drawn out saga, I'll shoot you a message on FB later.

Sadly I'm not in a real position to help do anything about the Taco in its current state other than offer advice.

Now if you tow it back to KY I'd help strip it at a storage unit...

 

I can only dread imagining how much I’d get charged to move that from cali back to Kentucky.
Cause it def don’t fit on the current uhaul trailers
And I don’t think that toy hauler uhaul is actually out yet

 

Yeah, when we ship the trucks out for rebelle its about 2k per if we wait for a full trailer to be booked, 4k if we do ltl hotshot

 

Yeah 4k has been my experience as well.
And I’m sure with it needing to be towed onto the trailer there would be more fees


It’s a shame cause a pressure washer and some dry ice blasting it would be in great condition to continue something.
But that’s just not within my power/access.
Like I joked with you.
It would make a sick ass X runner even if it’s not the best for a 4 seater prerunner

 

Hey man sucks to see what has happened to you with this build! It would have been sweet to see it come to fruition but with how things went with the builder and leaving you in a real shitty position it sucks to see man.

I've seen you post in couple different spots on TW so just wanted to clarify what is for sale and how much. I'm up in Canada but I'm wondering if I know anyone who might want a potential truck. If I wasn't into mine as far as I have got I would be all over this.

So the truck with parts minus the coilovers + raceline wheels is $6k? This includes the Solo kit and SUA kit. I know you have a full float axle as well, how much for that as well as the third member?

 

For 6k you get cab, doors, frame, complete driveline,
Deaver SUA, Gibson stainless catbsck exhaust
Solo kit minus shocks and beadlocks

I don’t know if @WormSquirts could help if anyone in Canada was interested


I do have the floater with hubs, rotors, 4x calipers and axle shafts 35 spline 300m heat treated (5100$)

Another 2800$ for the trutrac ford 9inch dif
And if you somehow purchase all of that I will give you the front gears and install kit for the matching 5.29 ratio for free (600$)

basically everything you see in the other threads is still what’s for sale.
Nothing has really sold yet so I haven’t needed to do anything except adjust prices haha

 

I wish I could help you out dude.

I chatted with @WormSquirts if we knew anyone that be interested but the border issue is the biggest problem. It would help if the truck were in a running, driving condition to get it through the inspections to get it into Canada.

There must be someone who would gladly take it off your hands closer to you than we are. Have you been blasting it on all the social channels?

 

Midwest Toyota offroad is a classifieds page on FB. Post it up there.

 

Progress will be made this month.
I’ll share more when I know more. hopefully this is the progress I was looking for

 

I will take the solo kit if you are willing to part it out

 

Working on it.
Give me 25ish days
That’s how long they asked for to get everything parted out I wanted off


In response to what you asked in the classifieds.
I was planning to ask 6500$
That is, uppers, lowers, spindles, D44 hubs with willwood superlites.

now. With that said
It’s also Cerakoted and has never had a single mile driven on it.

here comes the catch… and the price adjustment.
There is a good chance the uniballs are toast on the lowers from exposure to elements
And the D44 hubs didn’t have caps on them while they sat so they REALLY need to get either sandblasted or cleaned in some way.
I’m also gonna say the rotors will need to be surfaced.
With all that said…I’d like to price that in to the price at 5600$
You should be able to get any new uniballs same day if you go to or email solo

I will ideally have pictures for you soon of how it looks now. But I can show you how it looked when I installed it

it got installed by one shop, went to another shop for more work and sat for 5 years.
So aside from being outside
It’s brand new
