MARYLAND TACOMAS

3 for 3!!!

 

My bad

 

Buahahahahaha!

I needed a good laugh.

 

Is that welded?

 

Oem back from the Y

 

Tried installing the intake, started sprinkling right when I disconnected the battery

We got the same exhaust

 

Time to make the chili. 3-ish gallons simmering for about another hour, then in to the fridge to rest for a day.

 

Confused… why are you disconnecting the battery?

 

I plan on cleaning the throttle body and MAF as well. Team oil drop did it in his video

 

what time is dinner tomorrow??

 

Morning MD

 

Morning all.

I need to remember to spray pb blaster on the shock adjustment collars in preparation to lower them some tomorrow.

 

She still runs and drives perfect. Someone could tube the front end, cage the interior, replace the cab mounts, and have one hell of a trail monster.

 

That little S10 in the background has piqued my interest....

 

So you bought her back from the insurance company? How bad was that price?

Sounds like “someone” means “you” have a great plan for a front tube chassis build…

 

Morning all!

 

Morning Maryland

I fucking HATE that situation. No offense to you, i’m not trying to be mean or rude, the scars are just still fresh.

ANYWAY

I see it this way, should not have had to “buy back” my property that I didnt total. So in my mind, I didnt “buy back” my truck. I literally took delivery of it and told both insurance companies, “FUCK YOU, YOU CANT HAVE IT.” Then, made them come up with a value to compensate me for the damages.

So in my mind, I got fucked. Because, they should have paid me at least $14,000 for my $17,000 truck. However. They didn't see it that way. So the salvage value was taken off of that as well. I’m not going to say what the final pay out is supposed to be, because I still don’t actually have it in hand. This shit has taken WAAAAAAAAAAY too fucking long. I’m absolutely disgusted with this process. I’m 56 days in and its still not over. I have to wait for my salvage title to be released in order to get paid out

So that means, I have to part out my truck to make back up the difference. At this time, here is a list of what I plan to keep in no particular order:

My plan is to NOT PART OUT ANYTHING until I purchase a replacement Tacoma. That way I can direct swap parts onto the new truck and also sell the parts that come off the new truck. That way, if someone wants the blue truck as a roller, i can literally put it back together with the used parts from the new truck and they will have a MOSTLY complete unit. Also bare in mind, I WILL GET PAID FOR NONE OF THIS LABOR obviously Its just my way of getting closure I guess….
