Louisiana Tacomas

Lol, BR not NO?? Well, the best time of year (IMO) is the fall bc of LSU Football, but it makes traffic a bitch! I actually never lived in BR, but I have an ex that did. I can tell you lots of great restaurants and shortcuts around the city. And if you're into running/biking, hit up the LSU lakes. Beautiful scenery, a good size crowd-not overwhelming, but you'd possibly have some good sights- and plenty of parking.

What area are you looking at? And do you need help moving? That would be good inspiration for some of us local people to get together.

 

Hey buddy. I'm still itching for some time to come see you in Morgan City and work on those billies. Hope gator season treated you well.

By judd's info, he has a red dc.

And the silver one isn't me, I'm never around the exxon. If it's a base model prerunner (black fenders) then I think I know the guy that owns it. He's an older guy who doesn't want to give me his black bumper, even though I've known him my whole life.

 

sorry guys i haven't been able to get on TW last couple days. i've been goin through TW withdrawals.
short story is this is my 4th taco and its by far my favorite one.
02 extended cab silver TRD O/R 4wd
06 extended cab silver TRD O/R 4wd 6 speed manual
08 silver DC TRD O/R 4wd- sockmonkey badged and leveled with 5100s. I just traded it in at Supreme 3 months ago and it sat there for about month.
Now I have a Barcelona Red Prerunner with roof rack and N-Fabs. Gonna get the rear leaf tsb, 5100s, eibach springs and FJ anthracite rims. I actually don't really have any pics except for when we loaded the kayaks on it before I started modding. There is an Impulse Red taco in ponchatoula but as far as I know I am the only Barcelona Red in the area. Oh ya, its also debadged, got the devil horns, and a West Virginia plate. I'll post some new pics soon if we don't meet up first.

Old one ya'll may have seen around town with black badging



My New Baby :



Thats my fiancee who likes to steal my taco from me, and if anyone is wondering, the kayaks are 12ft and we have been in manchac and lacombe mostly, also Miss and Pensacola.

 

i had 5100s set at 1.75 on my last taco. loved em except for the stiffer ride from the extra preload. on my new one i'm doing the 5100s with eibach springs from toytec. i'll get my 5100s from downsouth motorsports again. anyway the eibachs will level it out without the extra preload on the shocks. it allows the coils to carry the extra load where it should be and let the shocks do their thing. i need to take my truck to toyota of slidell to get the rear tsb done first. they have the best service dept in the area.

 

any of you guys want these? free as long as you pick them up. they've been "modded". the rears won't break cuz they've been cut and extended with a rubber flap, and the fronts were ripping so i used zip ties to hold them together. if you replace the zip ties with black ones you'll hardly notice them at all once they're on your truck.

figured i'd ask the locals before i offer to give them away for just shipping to other members on here.

 

I got mine done there, the guy i talked to was Chris. It was easy to make them do it there.

 

awesome truck im totaly jealous

 

thanks for the offer but im in no need of flaps. best of luck

 

i agree on the gathering to help move. itd be a mini meet

 

Well im going back to school, (prob LSU or BRCC). Yeah Baton Rouge has bad traffic and bad roads. Yeah id def like some short cuts lmao.
I might get an apartment in Bristol place, not 100% sure yet but if i need help moving ill let you know and thanks for the offer!

 

Not sure where Bristol place is, but I'm sure I know some sort of shortcuts. nearby to help you out. Definitely let me know about the help moving. Minimeet!!

 

here is how my baby looks as of today
BEWARE if the crappy cell pics and sun was goin down

 

naaa the one i always see is a silver 4x4 with a six inch lift and 33's or 35's.. seen it at sonic a few times..

I have family that lives somewhere in there...

 

yep i know where thats at.. we eat pauls cafe like 5 times a week and its not far from there..

 

all this BR and LSU talk got my memory workin and found this picture. its a pic i took in a C-130 of Death Valley. we flew the mississippi down from little rock and over new orleans *tear*, across the coast into (pardon my french) gainesville, florida. we took a little detour over LSU cause my pilot is a huge SEC fan having graduated from (excuse me again) georgia. we were about 300 feet above the ground. hope you guys enjoy it!!

 

Wow thats an awesome piture
