Iowa Tacomas (Idiots.Out.Wandering.Around)

when it runs good again just text me or something. Or even if you dont wanna fix it and just sell it and let me know whats wrong

 

How was your frame ?

 

I'm gonna finish painting it, I need to make some new skid plate mounts, it needs an alignment, I need to weld up a rear bumper of some sort, and a few finishing touches. Just easy stuff. I never solved the knock sensor issue but the check engine light rarely comes on now and runs fine if you reset it with the ultra gauge.

I don't want to part it out. I don't have any time to go off road it so I think it should go to someone that would drive it. I have no problem keeping it, I just don't see the point. I've driven it twice in the last month and it was only to see if the new radiator solved the high temps I was seeing during city driving. Problem solved.

 

If I buy it you really dont need to worry about the bumper unless your just bored. And yeah it always looked like a fun truck. I just hope that doesn't mean your out of the toyota game for good. Also you said before that your frame was starting to rust. How bad is that ?

 

Your bumper won't fit with the bob. I will have to do something a little custom. The frame just has specks of rust here and there. It's not actually rusty. It's just pathetic that the replacement frame was painted so shitty. I actually took care of most of the spots when I welded on the frame reinforcement plates and repainted the back half.

If I ever get the urge to build another crawler I would buy a Toyota, but I would need to move to justify it. I might get a muscle car project or something.

 

Well thats good I actually really want your truck now knowing that RAT products may never make another piece of armor again lol

Whats the mileage on it again ?

 

I will still make armor if I can. I need to branch out. Just turned 199k. I don't want to turn 200k lol. I just checked compression and all are at 160psi. Factory good. Runs great after I replaced the throttle position sensor. Just that damn knock sensor thing. It might need another knock sensor but for $150, nah.

 

Lol 150 for a sensor ? I agree, nah. I fear you'll probably be selling something to rich for my blood but still let me know who knows

 

Needs recoated and has a bit of surface rust but it seems in good shape.

 

Haha...I have driven mine a total of 5 miles and it is still in pieces so that is a hard question to answer! Also, I still need to do elocker burnouts and smoke the clutch before I even think about selling it...duh, Peter.

 

Excuses are like arseholes everyones got one

Also once I change all parts over I'm thinking of trying to trade the tacoma for MR2...

 

Looking to take a road trip over spring break (I know.. far away) i'm thinking of driving up to Minnesota, up north.. To the boundary waters and camp up there for a few days.. already have some of my friends that drive frontiers coming.. Anyone might interested? we could car pool if you didnt feel like driving.. Obviously this would take some planning, but if anyone is interested let me know..

 

Sounds pretty fun! Plus I know the gf loves northern Minnesota. Would be fun to meet up with you guys since I'm outkasted to NW IA with Penten.

 

I am the one that lives in NW IA not Penten. He lives south of 80 (cue Deliverance banjo music). haha

 

Hahahah whoops I got ya mixed up. Dang! Looks like I need to pay attention more to you guys

 

Come up and buy it anytime you want. AS IS and ALL SALES FINAL. I want to make sure it runs good before I sell it to anyone. I like to see things through to completion.

 

Eh if you have it after I pay of a 4runner then maybe ! But you guys can come down here! MIOBI!

 

Who is going?

I should have that weekend off so I may as well go as long as somebody else tags along I may pass Kurt on the highway like last year
