99 Tacoma Student "Build"

Well that's pretty good considering you paid $800 for the truck ? Not sure on what vehicle you should buy in the meantime.

So I went on discount tire direct and they have a bunch of wheels and even have a simulator to show you then on your truck. I like these:


Level 8 wheels ZX

 

Yeah thats a great deal considering what you actually paid for it. I cant imagine how hard it is to sell a first truck. If you are going to have that 2012 tacoma then i would buy some cheapish car/truck that will get you by until then.

 

Hey you wanted one too!

 

hmmm I could see them working but its hard for me to see them on your truck. Do they have a picture that you can post on here? also how much would those cost?

 

Those are $125 a wheel, then a $50 discount so $450. I'll check on truck pics

 

Shoot I could have got those for what I paid for my wheels . And I don't want a jeep lol. I just sand it drove nice. An I didn't get a choice to sell my first truck. It was taken from me haha

 

bout what I paid for mine. Will you have to get the new extended lug nuts?

 

Didnt yours come with tires though? Did you crash your first one or did someone hit you?

 

Yes, toyota ones don't work well with any aftermarket wheels. And Sean rear ended his Nissan into a f250

 

Wyatt, Nice build. I haven't read the whole thread, so this may have been covered, but I had a 99 PreRunner that died due to the frame rust out. I was lucky though and was still within the 15 year time period for the buyback. It goes by the "In Service Date" of your truck, so you may also still be covered on your 99. I thought I'd mention it because it would suck to get past that date and have the rear suspension collapse into the frame like mine did. (I did a post on it in 1st Gen.) I know you're south but wasn't sure of the life of the truck.

One word of caution. If you think it won't pass and be deemed unsafe to drive and are OK with the buyback, take everything off the truck that wasn't stock before you take it in. Because if it's unsafe they'll keep it and give you a loaner until the buyback is done. Mine had brand new tires on it that went with it! The service manager was nice, though and had his guys switch out my stereo head unit to the original and gave me mine.

In memory of mine, here's a photo:

 

Yes they came with tires. Dry rotted 10yr old ones haha. Didn't know about the date code at the time. I had to get new tires immediately. Spent $400 on 5 31x10.5x15, including the alloy rims and full size spare. And not a f-250. It was an Expedition, the old huge ones haha

 

And there's not much build goin on here. If Wyatt doesn't do somethin soon I'm goin to Matts page. He's still buildin haha

 

We need a lift going on in here somewhere

 

Ohh, expedition it is. ^ that gif sig pic, hahahaha

And I try to keep it goin, when summer hits I'll be doin a lot hopefully

 

I believe that is one of my favorite gifs on the internet lol

 

Funny animals = video gold

 

Mine is currently past the buyback point. Im not worried though as its been a georgia truck its entire life and has no rust on any point of the body or frame and has passed the inspection the last month it was covered. That sucks about yours going bad but atleast you were covered with the buy back.

That was a nice yota you had! I see you are in a new one you got any new pics?

 

Yeah I was just gonna warn you about that mine came free with the new rims

 

hey now! ive been working for the past week solely on the house trying to get it ready to sell and just to remind you its 85+ here already! hahahah Are you gonna take matts page up to 3000 replies too?!

Just send over that new suspension of yours then you will be jelly of me not the other way around!
