Sold my Tacoma

I sold my 07 tacoma today and bought a 08 trundra double cab. I needed a truck that could tow a 9000 lb trailer to the corvette car shows and there was just no way the tacoma could do that. If they had a tacoma with a v8, or a diesel engine with the towing capacity that I needed, then I would definitely have bought that instead. What it really boiled down to was either get rid of the tacoma or the fj crusier. The tacoma was previously damaged last dec and never really recovered body wise from that incident, so the choice was obvious. The cruiser is now my daily driver and the trundra will be the work truck.

I really enjoyed this toyota forum, and its the best, friendliest, and most informative on the internet as far as I am concerned.

You all take care, and happy 4 wheelin to everyone

Take care Bill-sorry the Tacoma lost in your circumstances-but you gotta do what works!

 

so long sunrunner, sorry to see you go.... but at least you stayed with Toyota

 

you should pop in from time to time to say hello and tell us about your tundra, i'm sure many of us would be interested to hear your critiques on it. what are your first impressions?

 

Sad to hear it dude, but anyway you took home a very good truck.... still is a Toyota

 

Gratz on the new truck. Heck a Tundra is just a Tacoma on steroids

 

lol

 

take care Bill!!! it was good having you around here! do what nd says.....drop by from time to time and visit with us man!!

 

Damn. I miss Bill...

 

Congrats!

Don't leave the site just because you sold the taco. I sold mine too, but I like this site way too much.

 

+1 post some pics of the trailor and the corvette some time! take it easy you will enjoy the tundra.

 

I don't think he'll be posting any pics, he started the thread in May

 

Sorry for the delay, been traveling across the country enjoying my retirement.
This is the pic of the 72 sting ray fully restored 454 ci. I have sold it since, and bought a 93 40th anniv ruby vette conv 6sp with 22,000 orig miles, and a 2002 red corvette 6speed.



My 08 Tundra 5.7L 505 HP Supercharged towing the corvettes

 

Looks like a pretty nice retirement to me.

 

This is a pic of the two corvettes at my home. I gave the 93 ruby to my son to enjoy for the summer before it comes back here for winter storage. I drive the red one around the lake and on long trips. Its fast, but not as fast as my Tundra which can beat its ass any day of the week.


Decal I had made for the Tundra


Supercharger installed


Tundra with 3" toytec lift installed this week

 

lmao . very very nice Bill. retirement sure looks sweet

 

With all apologies to Mastercard, which I dont carry, lol!
Buying a Tundra 31,000
Installing a supercharger, 6,800
Leaving a NYS Trooper in the dust...............fricken priceless

footnote: The trooper was curious how fast the Tundra was. It was not a high speed chase. He is my neighbor, and that is priceless too, lol!

Damn, it feels good to post in here again.........

 

Stick around man. An FJ and a Tundra with a 5.7 . You're practically my hero.


I was driving a D/C new Tundra with the 4.7 for awhile and loved it. I envy you man.

 

Sweet looking Tundra man!

Looks like someone owns alot of Toyotas/Scions.
