    Well Hell if you don’t sell it you could always start building & selling full Turbo kits just like what’s on yours. Looks like it’s been proven‼️ If you do start selling, anyone want a Magnuson supercharger?
    That’s got to be one of the cleanest looking setups I have seen‼️ Just powder coat the parts in wrinkle black & black for the “factory” look. I like the silver & polished look myself.
    I love to know what (as in $) you have in just parts alone. Looks like when watching auto auctions on TV and the announcer says “You couldn’t build it for that”!

    @BassAckwards You should really think twice, I know I would be all over it if it was white…
    It’s really a beautiful build!

    @05Taco4x4, Have you consider selling it on BaT / https://bringatrailer.com/
    I’m sure you have pages of documentation on the build. You should really think about it! Please read the link. I bet with the right photos & documents you could get a lot more than your asking price! I’m pretty sure it’s just a $100 to list it and you don’t need a professional photographer. Maybe a pro detailer to get the black paint nice and shiny.
    I truly wish you the best of luck!

    Any chance you have detail on the steering wheel and power mirror mods?

    Sir,
    That’s a lot of reading to hopefully find the info I’m looking for. Sorry to say you & the truck I’m pretty sure are on the opposite side of the country. Otherwise I probably buy and exchange what I want then resale. I personally know of a silver, stock, Pre-runner, reg. cab, 2.7l, Stick w/ 128k miles that sold locally for $13.8. I tried to buy it but I wasn’t going to pay that for it!
    I get calls from the GM of the vendor for the Magnuson about every 2 to 3 weeks to ask how the truck is running. He also knows I purchased another Tacoma an 05, Reg cab, 5 lug w/ a stick that he knows I plan on reconditioning and wants me to do another supercharger. He said he would take care of me if I wanted to do another supercharger as I told him it has been neglected! I’ve spent over $1500 in just maintenance parts for it so far. I’ve purchased new carpet, sport seats & leather, seat belts, center console, leather steering wheel, alarm, stereo, headlights, grill, StopTech’s, coilover’s, bigger wheels & rubber, lower gear, yada yada yada as I will be pulling about 85% of the interior out to clean & replace most everything. I’ve ordered every part new that has coolant flowing through it but the heater core.
    As for the power I don’t know what direction I will go. Just a few bolt ons, turbo or the bucket list a alloy 5.3 GM engine swap… :D

    The insurance is so cheap it doesn’t really hurt me to keep a third vehicle, I wouldn’t need to get back into a truck - I can choose any vehicle I want.

    Honestly, and I know this is blasphemy in these parts, but if you have any willingness to consider it, our minivan does everything my truck does on the road. Payload is the same, towing isn’t bad either, roof racks make 16’ lumber easy, sliding doors totally rule. RC Taco plus minivan is a fantastic setup.
