    I am sorry if this is the wrong section since I am new to this site, but this seemed the most general for it. If it's wrong feel free to move it.

    Anyway, I came across what I think is a pretty solid tacoma on autotrader. I would just like some feedback on it, such as the suspension, price, etc. Any thoughts on the truck would be much appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Its got total chaos long travel in the front with fiber glass fenders. That stuff will run you about 4+ grand i'd say. The bumper maybe 500. The wheels and tires 1500. I would say its a good price.

    I agree the price is right. The suspension is awesome. But I personally (cause that's what I did), like to buy my vehicles stock and build them up myself. Sort of a pride of workmanship thing I guess. But to each his own.

    I actually went down there to take a look at it. The guy said it had been revoked from the owner cause he couldn't afford the payments anymore after he did all the work haha. So really it's never been off-road once. Thanks guys for the info so far.

    I don't think you will find a better used car dealership. I bought my Tundra there...it is also right next to The Truck Shop who looks at most of the vehicles. Go for it.

    Dang no offense towards Anthallo, but almost looks like his truck. IMO Anthallos' truck is way cooler though. Still a very very nice truck for sale. I'd jump on it if i was looking.

    I would hop on that like a hobo on a ham sammich!

    but if you do get it I would go over every nut and bolt on the suspension just to make sure it's all done right.

    I'd say go for it too, BUT, only if you have a large interest in off-roading and stuff. If you just need a regular Tacoma and aren't planning on offroading it often, I wouldn't grab this specific truck because of the long-travel. That's a sick truck though so...you'd better find an interest in the offroading world NOW!:D
