    Please I want to apologize first, for this may not be the forum/thread to make this post, but I'm going to try it out. Thanks for looking?

    I want to be politically correct these days. for I do not want to be on the 6:00 evening & local news, while a news woman, with "Kaleidoscope Eyes", is asking questions or comments to: local law enforcement persons/NSA/FBI/OSS/USPS,WHO, XYZ etc. that they might investigate me & my family for making a simple common sense comment. Hell MAN I'm just a working stiff trying to live the "AMERICAN DREAM" and so forth, I will always try to be upfront with my neighbor & honest W/myself + looking out for the family./watching this forum, I ask myself the question,,, Where & How to begin? "MY-RANT!!!"

    I don't know what came over me a few weeks ago,,,, But! I Had to Have a Tacoma. I didn't Know Why at the time? May be the X files or AL CiCADA, are to blame... I became so po-sessesed by A "TOYO Demon" I was unable to sleep properly at night. I lay awake tossing and turning, dreaming about the TOYO, which I had seen advertised on "CraigsList", (be aware it could have been the MED's I was on,)( 9heart attack/prostate problem/hip replacement! etc, etc or just my near death experience, I was concerned about the out come! for my wife, she "thinks I'm nuts" BUT! I have a alternate plan for her,(more about that plan later) in the mean time I found a Toyota Tacoma w/low mileage which caught my EYE the purchase was 200mi. away from my house, soooo many arrangements had to be made in order to make that road trip!
    "I must do, more, research" I told myself. So I came to TW and found a friend in the TW forums, and I am a true believer "there are Angles that our God has put in those places so as to provide good journey for any/all Dumb A--'s like me.


    Maybe I was influenced by the 6:00 o'clock news, (bless their hearts),,for allowing me to be updated with so much useless info such as Alec Baldwin had a baby, DAMN I bet that hurt? and Cher just adopted a herd of elephants at a zoo in Florida WTF.

    BUT! the one thing I notice is:
    Al Cicada transporting his fellow locust across the desert in a little Toyota P-up truck.
    It appears the driver is going full throttle over the desert sand, with a truck full of locust. They, the locusts, are bouncing across the dirt/sand/mud/dust, and any thing else that gets in their way, the only modification I see is a 2,000 pound CANNON w/AMMO mounted to the bed of that TOYOTA Tacoma p-up truck! Amazing!
    Some of these vehicles are 2dr. and some are 4dr.
    Ire-regardless there is a 80mm "Land Leveler" discharging projectiles out the back of that little truck! with out any modifications, that I can see

    No Modifications, such as Xtra springs/shocks, tires, wheels, load levelers, bumper guards, brakes, frame, skid plate, seatbelt, clock placement and hell half of them do not have a wind shield

    (
    Where is the f-----g EPA? we/I demand an inspection for catalytic converters "Come on Man give us a break". Other than the 80mm land leveler and a few boxes of AMMO for the land leveler, I noticed when the land leveler is fired the little truck does not fall over on to its top? imagine that?
    WTF?? hell if you should do that in a 87 Chevy/Ford well we will have to do a front end job before we can go back on the road, and soon!!.. I'm not bitchin just observing the trend.

    I LUV this little truck, WHY? I don't know?, I'm Possesed, my wife says "I need an exerciseim" she will pay for it. and pay.and pay.and pay trust me

    "I promise and i hope to Restore this little Truck, (before it gets crashed and totally destroyed), back to the Spec's OEM, I now own a 2004 Tacoma Pre-runner, Build date JULY 2004 ( the last of the "Gen 1's" I think? I hear all the "Complaints about?,ie clock is in the wrong place- the seat belt won't retract, heated rear view mirrors,,B.S etc,etc" hell man sell it, if you don't like it Al Cicata and the locust would love to have it"

    Please if you decide to sell just mount a camper shell on the bed,, because some body's Grand parents will be Proud to own/drive that little truck"

    I'm the proud 2nd owner of a 2004 Toyota, Tacoma, Pre-runner, 2WD, Auto Tranny, 166,00 miles when Purchased, is being refurbished by "ACE in The HOLE Automotive" I hope to have some Pic's soon as possible thx Dobbin

    I am aware, I am Not a compuuter guru, I have been making an attempt to bring myself up to speed, by searching the many,
    whatchamacallems "threads on the boards''., just so's to find how to navigate thru so much info and advise, it makes that little Pea Brain of mine, spin like crazy.
    Any way back to answering your Question and I'm proud to announce that the frame on this truck is in perfect repair, after reading/seeing some of the nitemare problems others have had, I feel so fortunate, I had no idea there was such a Safety issue!, heck we used to get reports/updates from RALPH NADER every week about a Corvair or something! heck Rachel Maddow didn't tell me about this!
    Well I can go on and on with my off the wall B.S. I gotta quit for now, for the Sand Man Callith, by for now your friend Dobbin
