Grandpa truck needs your advice!

Hey my very first real vehicle was a 1996 Tacoma 2 wheel drive, loved it. Seemed slightly higher than Grandpa's though and had some graphic running down the sides. Realized after a couple years I needed 4x4 though and since then I can't understand anyone owning a truck without 4-wheel

 

Haha I have nothing against normal 2wd's anymore. It's the prerunners I can't stand!

 

Don't hate...we don't all need 4wd Bo!

 

The way I see it, if you're going with a 6-lug Tacoma you might as well get a real truck!




















JK..... I do love seeing prerunners with spindle lifts... The front end looks so good that way!

 

If I had to own one Taco, it would be my 4WD. But I would also own a 2wd, and several different cars if I was rich.

I don't have any need for 4wd so it's just more maintenance that I could do without. Never offroad, pull a trailer every now and then and buy stuff at Lowes. I just like a good looking truck. If it wasn't a taco it would be a lowered GMC Seirra!

 

I got it for $3,500. Is that a good price?

I wish I could, but the guy that passed away, his family gave me a good deal on the truck. So I'd feel bad if I sold it. It's a basic truck. Auto. 4cyl. So weak on the hwy. Haha.

 

NADA values your truck at $5500 w/ the low miles.

So I would guess that you got a good deal.


I usually use NADA vs KBB becaues it seems like NADA more fairly prices our trucks for what they are actually worth.

 

this truck would look sick w/ long travel..

 

ditch that plastic tool box and get an aluminum one. or leave it without a tool box if you want. dual exhaust and a turbocharger. some nice black rims would look real good too.

Since it's a 5 lugger, go with the S-Runner look. Also Google X-Runner, but it's 2nd gen body style.
Just enjoy it.

 

Don't lift it! Get a nice toolbox and it'll look 100 times better.

Trust me, I used to have a 2wd 96

 

Huh? You don't do a spindle lift on a prerunner. They use the same front suspension as us... because they're six lugs like us.


This is a plain 2wd, not a prerunner.

 

I know this, I was replying to a guy that owns a prerunner 6-lug

 

You'd better believe it is. That's a steal.

 

Regardless, you don't use a spindle lift on a Prerunner. I don't see what you're trying to say.
