    If you find a place that does Toyota Rent-a-Car, they should be able to get you whatever rental you want. Just tell them you're looking at the possibility of buying one.

    Well guys...I think as of early yesterday morning, I am officially no longer a tacoma owner....

    I'll be going today to see the truck but from what I'm told and what happened, after knocking over a telephone pole and then still going and slamming into a gas station steel sign, it is no more....

    Don't drink and drive kids.

    Removed coal filter, Also installed AFE air filter. Roof rack with custom diamond plate air diverter.
    WOW! Hope you get better soon.
    Did anything else on the truck survive? Could you take off pieces to sell so that you may be able to purchase another one? Or transfer pieces to your next taco??

    Thanks guys but it wasn't me driving, it was my mom. Made a stupid choice and she is hurting for it.

    I got a lot off of it today but as far as suspension and wheel and tires, I have to wait till the insurance estimate. It's got full coverage. If they low ball it, I can keep it and part it out.

    Traffic investigator tried to tell me she was doing 80+ I told him with all due respect, I built the truck, it won't go that fast. Then he tried to accuse me of having illegal modifications. But I don't see how the truck jumped a curb, knock over a solid wooden telephone and then still traveled 150+ feet and then slam into a gas station sign. She doesn't remember a thing.

    I'm not really sure what angle he was trying to get at. Saying something about modifying the speedometer. I then proceeded to tell him I had a scanguage on the dash to reflect the accurate speed with the offset for tires. He claimed to not see it.
