Caught this Taco at local car show ....... with slight lift!

This Taco caught my eye while perusing a local car show on Father's Day.

 

Not my cup 'o tea, but nicely done.

 

Least they solid axled it and it's a true 4 wheel drive . If this has maybe 17" wheels and more rubber than rim it is my cup of tea. Least I know how gay my truck would look like with big ass rims .

 

Well they even trussed then axles . Someone knew what they were doing lol

 

Wow, lot of money and work put into that one! Easy roll over tho.

 

I just wanna see somebody get in it

 

Honest question: what happens to trucks like this after a year so showing it off at meet-ups, when the owner is bored and out of money?

Is there a special salvage yard full of painted axles and 12” lift blocks?

 

It retires to craigslist and starts a new life with someone else.

 

Mahalo

 

Do they return it to stock? or sell it “over $50K invested in upgrades, a steal at $71k”

 

Im guessing that thing will sell as is. Its got too much going on to part out. Chances of them recouping 1/2 of that mod cost is slim to none IMO.

 

Yeah. It would be wild to buy something like this second hand and see if it actually gets the job done in the mud-pit.

I find these trucks kinda amusing, because they often have some very highly engineered parts, like King reservoir shocks, but would clearly never be able to run the baja 1000 and actually need those giant reservoirs to prevent shock fade.

It’s the ultimate expression of excess I guess, which has some merit.

 

Its not my cup of tea. But if I lived in Alabama where they have those redneck trailer mud pit trailer parks... I would slap some 44" super swampers on it and try my best to get in and out of that shit!

This!

bling over function, just like my ex wive’s hand bags.

 

I've never seen a gay man make a show truck like this, just putting that out there.

 

Is it ironic that this thing is parked in front of a dumpster?

 

I offer myself as tribute to have this vehicle in the plains of the river valleys. Would make a great farm truck.

 

Wait, that truck is not in Hawaii?

 

My thoughts as well.

 

FYI, If anyone gets upset over my "Hawaii" reply. I was born and raised on Oahu and I have owned several trucks that had the "Hawaii Style" lift and tires.
