    you know what depreciates more than mods?......... the truck you drive....

    if you lived by your philosophy then you wouldnt own a new tacoma.... you would have a pre owned 1st gen and you would invest the additional...... what...... 10-12K?

    just a thought.

    ^ Well said. As long as it's done in moderation, spending on your truck is a great hobby.

    I dunno, Tacomas tend to keep their value like no other. I bought my truck for 19.5K a little over a year ago. According to KBB, private is almost $23K now, lol.

    i think if labor was factored in...people would be spending like 3x more than they actually spent lol..i know if i counted my "labor" at like $2 an hour mods would be worth more than the truck lol

    o n btw mahalos for helping me out with the link BS.

    I agree, I noticed that the person that is slamming mods has the Sport package and the TRD skid plate. Both really aren't nessecary.:anonymous:

    ~$5,000 ... and i'm not letting up on the gas anytime soon. Going to get this thing exactly how I want it .... then drive it til the wheels fall off.

    Since the mods are dumb, guess you can leave your rig at the trail head and ride in the back of mine.:D

    I've changed a few things, which has probably cost me an extra $700 and had a shop install the CO's, UCA's, rear leaf pack, and weld on the sliders.
