    Hey everyone, my truck was stolen at work in bothell wa on Oct 27 approximately 1130-1:15pm from canyon park business area and looking for possible leads.

    Noticable features are F&R trailgear tube bumpers, 4 rigid pods-2 on bumper and 2@ditch lights. I had yellow fog covers, may be gone by now. Has smittybuilt winch too. Lexus 18" rims on BFG tires, matching full size was locked in the bed. Semi faded green paint and black bug area on hood. Has large brown 'toyota' text bumper.

    Any leads, spotting, or successful trackings/info will be rewarded. Just trying to get it back & appreciate any help!!

    Since you are a Coug, I will keep my eyes open over in the Spokane/CDA area. Now if you were a Husky, I might have to help the guy! LOL. That sucks. People are stupid these days.

    Recovered today in everett/silver lake wa! Been gone for 3 weeks but atleast it's home. Looks like I have a winter project - tomorrow ill get a battery and try starting it & hoping that goes well we get rollers and see if it drives. Hoping for those 2 things then time to start the add ons again!

    Jfc. Just the bumper, wheels, and hood? My buddy got his accord stolen for the this time a couple weeks back and recovered near Greenlake in a very similar condition. Couple bucks for some airtags or a tracker might be a little piece of mind

    this sucks to see. Did they steal the 2 rear wheels?

    I think you be bought these GX wheels from me a while back, if you need 1, I can give you the spare I have. It’s still under my GX, but I can get it swapped out if you need it.

    Still have the hood but it was removed to get the ditch lights. Today I got a battery and she runs & goes into gear! Have replacement rims and tires on the way then well see how it drives. After that i can start with stereo/bumper/lights/winch/etc. And yes, this trucks gonna be a mobile Hotspot with trackers once I DD it again.

    Yup, 2 rears and the full size matching spare that I had locked in the bed. Passenger had 2 lugs barely still on and if you zoom in the driver has no lug nuts haha.

    Probably, met down in renton @ frys parking lot? And appreciate the offer but have (3) on the way! I've enjoyed how they look and fit!

    Good to see it was recovered. Curious how did the thieves steal it? is the ignition okay or did they hot wire it?

    Add kill switch to your list and a location device. cute pup btw
