    So I'm kind of back to this....

    What's my Tacoma worth? Do I take it back to stock? It's not the cleanest but it's in solid mechanical condition.

    Tires are shot.
    Inner tie rods need replaced.
    Needs aligned.

    So should I find used 285s or put back to stock with stock alloys and some 265s

    I will replace inner tie rods and get it aligned.

    75,000 miles roughly. No other issues of any kind.

    Edit: back to stock seems verrrrry difficult considering snorkel and flares

    try to sell it roughly as is

    maybe pull skids and whatever else?

    Thoughts? HELP?

    19,500?

    If I fix tie rods and get it aligned and throw some used tires on there that are better than mine?

    You would probably do better taking it back to stock (as much as you can). I think it would sell faster and you'd get more out of it in the end parting out what you can and selling the truck separate.

    It's just really hard to do that with the quarter panels the way they are. If I could get some silver long bed sides and some fronts I'd be set. Everything else is easy at that point.

    Want to buy an F350. Won't really need this truck once the cruiser is done anyway except to DD.

    Ahh tow rig, I see. Well your build on the cruiser is coming along very well. If you decide to sell the snorkel i'll take it... :spy:

    If that's the direction you wanna go, i say go for it bud.

    I think it is, I can get this truck for a very good price but I really don't need 3 vehicles, 2 of them geared for more off road than on.

    I just feel like selling the Tacoma is going to be such a PITA because of how it's been used and how it's set up.

    It KBBs in "GOOD" condition for around 16 something. I figure tack on mods and accessories and devalue them a fuck ton and 19,500 is probably where I'm sitting.

    I know traditionally, accessories add no value but if you're buying a truck like mine... well then you'll probably pay a little extra for the mods or you wouldn't buy it in the first place.

    THis is true, alot of people would buy a modded taco(i wouldnt personally as i'd like to make it my own).

    The f350 would handle any towing duties with ease and like you said, you dont NEED 2 off road rigs, thats just 2 money pits instead of one.
