    Sorry. Labour or not that is a ridiculous claim.

    I'm not seeing no 50k, unless he's a super dumbass and let somebody take him for a ride on labor, which would be ridiculous. Give me 50k to sling into mine and I'll have the baddest tacoma you've ever seen.

    That's including the hookers he paid for during ownership of the truck and there's 20k worth of cocaine in the center console.

    The throttle body spacer is easily a $25k mod. The gains are astronomical.

    At $150/hr, labor and parts plus shipping and shop fees and alignment and all that could add up VERY quickly...probably not $50k, but I'd say close to 20-25k.

    Crazy right? :crazy:

    Looks to me like a 6" lift. That would be much more than $1k installed.

    And wheels/tires are usually $500-600 per combo plus shipping and mount and balance, closer to $2500 I'd say...but I'm nitpicky like that :D

    I think he is claiming the truck in the 50k. He just didn't write his description right.
