    Sold. =(
    I'm putting my latest project up for sale to start another. I'm going to try and list out everything I have done to this truck but might leave some stuff out so if you have any questions, let me know. I'd rather this truck go to someone on here before I put it up on Craigslist.

    Truck performs amazing. Tested at AOP, Windrock, Gulches, etc and haven't found an obstacle I couldn't tackle. Clean title. $15,000 OBO

    Truck comes with tons of extra things like spare hub gears, drive flanges, light bar hoop for front bumper, Scion TC Seats, etc. These are all mostly things I never got around to installing. Winch also comes with the truck. We tested it, it worked, installed it, and all of a sudden it didn't work. Didn't wanna fool with it anymore so I left it. I believe we just hooked it up wrong the second time so buyer can try to get it to work. LOL

    For sale already?

    You mentioned on your post, "I don't much prefer the dangerous pucker moments so I'm selling to go back to highly capable IFS rig."

    All that truck needs to avoid that is lower gearing at the transfer. Not necessarily dual cases crazy low, but lower than factory for sure. It just makes such a huge difference wheeling.

    Good luck!

    I really just miss my second gen and how much more room it had. Being 6'2 280# makes a first gen seem cramped. And I like being challenged. So far everything that I'm comfortable with (still some pucker moments) I've climbed without any problems. But thanks for the suggestion. If it doesn't sell I'll keep wheeling it. I mean I love this truck but I'm always changing up what I'm doing.

    Haha, good point. The more built your rig is, the easier wheeling becomes. Well, there are always more challenging trails and obstacles even for a rig with a SAS. It is all about how much you want to end up with a raising of a vehicle haha.

    A quick wheeling trip to the southwest and I promise...you will change your mind about selling your SASed tacoma. Trails in AZ and UT in particular are brutal enough to make anybody with a SAS want to step up to 40"s :D

    Good point about tall guys being cramped in the 1st gens. 2nd gens and newer tacomas are a whole different ball game in that regard.

    Are you located in China or Rusia? LOL

    If you have the money and like the rig, it is a simple as having it shipped across the country :D Or, you can always fly to check it out in person, do the deal and then drive it back (personally, I would just pay a company to deliver it to me).

    Another one that lives in a foreign communist country with no shipping/delivery options.

    See my response above :D

    Would $19k shipped be more appealing? ;)

    Lol, I said probably consider...Either way, I wouldn't buy a vehicle I couldn't personally see first & a trip east is out of my cards. Someone will hop on this offer though, good luck OP. :fistbump:

    If you cannot afford a trip within the U.S. to go see a vehicle then you definitely cannot afford the vehicle :D
