Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

I saw one years ago and they wanted $25k. It’s like the early 4runners with the pop top. When my wife dies in 20yrs I’m doing a full resto on one (1st gen 4Runner)..lol
As long as I can continue to pay the insurance premium!!! Lol

 

That's awesome!

 

The field behind me is the second highest point in the county. Been dry for the last two days

 

We have no sum pump. Everything is tilied to small pond about 40 yds behind the house. A lot of our land is considered wetlands. There is a drainage ditch that runs through our property and last 2 years the water was moving slow. Then last fall I found out why. A culvert 1/4 mile north of us was crushed and blocked. I told the owner and within a few days he dug it out. Water went down. Even over winter I would go out back and break through the ice and I could see the water was still going down. Now with this this big melt off the water was high, but it's flowing and has gone down a lot.

 

Imagine how bad it would be if you hadn't found that when you did.

 

Ya, we talked about it friday.
We are just thankful. To many people in town lost a lot this past week.

 

I'm glad we didn't all the rain they predicted. Have one large tree to clean up up that toppled from the ground being to soft.

 

Now that most of the snow is gone I can see all the mole,vole and mouse tunnels in the lawn. Never seen it so bad.

 

$44k for a trd sport? Wow!

That's ridiculous. Those markups should be illegal. Buyer beware.

 

Looks like a lot of dealer add-ons. Probably not a terrible deal for someone who doesn't want to do their own mods.

It's funny, though. I regularly hear guys talk about how 4runners are so much more expensive than Tacomas. Only a pro or limited would be much more than that. My TRD off road premium msrp was $42×××, so only about 1K more than that sport.

EDIT: after further review, some of the add-ons are pretty outrageously priced. But, i guess some of the aftermarket light bars are insanely expensive

 

Those markups are 2x more than if you bought them seperate. Those aluminum steps are like $300. The tonnuea cover, around $800. I doubt they put an $1100 light bar in there or they'd name it, so I suspect Amazon lol.

 

Yeah, i thought the LED's were the biggest rip-off. I'd be curious what brand they are. I'd like to think Toyota would do better than some off brand eBay lights.

I'm looking at hiding a rough country light bar behind my grille. They look nice and aren't stupidly expensive.

That bak revolver tonneau looks pretty nice! I just googled it. If anyone is looking for a tonneau, definitely check it out.

Or buy mine.

 

My latest Tacoma related purchase was an ARB awning. Actually got it as a Black Friday deal but weather wasn't conducive to mounting it.

 

That's awesome!

Soooo.... Who's interested in a breakfast/beer run soon? Getting ancy for spring here

 

Maybe we should try something casual like the coffee and donut meetup? Find a park to meet in on a Sunday morning and someone bring donuts and I'm not a coffee drinker so I don't know how to make the coffee thing work so someone else can figure that out. Not sure where everyone is from but being from Racine, we could do it a SE WI Toyota meet and greet thing-a-majig. Just a thought. I'm an ideas guy so I'll let someone else plan it.

 

I thought I heard a beer garden is opening soon! Need to check on that

 

Down for whatever. Certainly interested in trying to do some more truck stuff come spring.
