PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

4x4 and 5spd...sold

 

fellow gto owner here as well. I have a thread in my sig. Only reason i posted. Ha

 

I have a feeling someone already grabbed it. Not ten minutes after I took it for a quick jaunt around the parking lot, a guy from Subaru was coming to get it and bring it back to his dealership so somebody could look at it! The truck has not even been detailed for the used car lot yet!

 

I looked at 2 dirty tacos that were already sold when I got mine. Asked "what about that one that looks like it was just traded in" answer was "somebody saw it before you" lol

 

F*ck bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies...

Toyota Tacomas are a much more solid investment!

 

Manual windows? Pass

Would have had like an 18k ish sticker. 14 seems a bit pricey for a 7 year old ride. I like it

Stereo would be easy to swap

 

If mine got totaled, I'd just swap all of the stereo stuff from it into this truck! Also, my 5-lugger had a sticker of over $17K in September 2009!

 

You sir, have got one of my dream Tacos! A red 1st Gen 4x4!

 

I had just paid the 2012 off and this asshat was texting his Girlfriend while driving his Wife’s car and T boned me and set off all my air bags. Ins company wrote me a fat check and I paid for my 2013 with it and had some $$ left over.

 

So you inadvertently got caught up in a love triangle?!?!

In about 2012, the dealership where my dad bought my current '10 RC 5-lug was interested in buying it back since used vehicles were really hot at the time. They would have given us at least what he'd paid for it. At the same time, my uncle had a red 2002 access cab PreRunner SR5 2.7L/auto with super low miles that he was looking to get rid of. We came very close to selling the 2nd Gen and buying that 1st Gen!

 

Pretty much, the car he hit me with was in his Wife's name and She refused to sigh off on the accident until I threatened to sue her and her cheating husband

 

What a C U Next Tuesday...

As much as I love 1st gens, the 2.7l 1st gens with auto trans arent that great...I mean they're reliable and great looking trucks, but the 2.7 paired with the autos of that time was an absolute dog.

2.7l with the 5spd manual is another story though. Still a dog but way more fun to drive lol

 

It still amazes me how fast I've gotten my 4-banger/slushbox Taco to go...

 

Keep the truck that your dad bought new and gave to you. You'll regret getting rid of it as soon as it's gone.

 

I finally learned how to drive stick in my uncle’s 1991 Toyota pickup at the age of 25. I’ve also driven another uncle’s 1971 VW Bus. I love driving stick and think it’s a lot of fun.

However, in the overpopulated Philly suburbs I call home, having a stick shift as a daily driver would get tiresome after a while. As much as I’d love to have a manual Tacoma, my slushbox is much more tolerable given where I presently live!
