First startup in several months:

Hit a deer a few months back which all but destroyed the 2001 front end I put on there. I used the truck primarily to take my dirt bike and motorcycle up and down the east coast. I don't do that stuff anymore. I did most of the work on the truck since owning it, but I just don't have the time or patience to deal with this one. Owned it since 2010 and got it from the original owner w/ 140k in New York where it was his wifes truck. I'm told they sometimes pulled a small open trailer for runs to the dump. I also just put brand new (less than 1000 miles) Toyo tires (~$800, have receipt) and had the frame serviced / protected at Winchester(orioffroadsupplies.com) along with new rear Bilstein shocks and leaf springs (~$2300, have receipt). I'd say everything is solid except the front suspension, which are the original Bilsteins. They felt bouncy and I was going to replace them myself before hitting the deer. Otherwise the motor has 0 issues, as *did* everything else. Maintenance was religiously kept up with. New axle seals, rotors, brake pads, ALL fluids... all done in less than 1k miles. The Check Engine Light is on because of the commonly known emissions canister issue. The ABS light is new, that started after the deer. Feel free to bring a code reader (I'm not sure what codes are being thrown since hitting the deer). Feel free to bring a compression tester as well. A rough list of parts needed will include a core radiator support, radiator, cooling fan, hood, grill and all the front end cosmetic pieces. I'm sure some cutting and welding will be needed. The radiator is actually jammed into the cooling fan on the front of the motor, which is causing the motor to spudder. I therefore do not start it up. If you want to see it run, then it really just needs to be that last consideration. Including pictures of before and after. Comes with the alloy rims etc. I just need to get back what I recently put into it, so $3000. She has the potential to be a beautiful truck again. Sold as is.

 

Bump. Also, new catback exhaust. Probably 2-3k on it?

Hi, is this Tacoma still for sale?

 

Yup, still for sale.

 

Im very interested. I live a ways away though so being bale to see it in person is a problem. You mentioned that if you run the engine it sputters? Is the fan making contact with the radiator and thats the sound your hearing? Or is it something internal? thanks

 

Hey, yeah it's actually jammed against the radiator. I'm pretty sure it's not the fan. I think it would be a loud clanking noise if that were the case. But no it's like it's not firing on all cylinders. I'd imagine it's a sensor or something because it had zero issues before. Since you're so far away and if it comes down to it I'll get a video of it running. Just trying to avoid making something worse. But let me know anything else you want me to check out.

 

That would be great if you could get it running and video it. very helpful.

 

I'm parting out a 01 in ny. I have lots of front end parts if needed

 

Noted. Still for sale. Batteries dead so I need to get it charged for that video.

 

Still for sale? I'm interested.

 

Aye still available. I'll post when it's sold. Been busy last couple weeks so no video yet.

 

Please post video, interested as well. Feel free to send me direct message, thank you, I am in Texas and willing to travel for it.

 

Sent you a PM. Thanks!

Any update on price?

 

Sure 2800. I finally posted it on Facebook yesterday and have gotten at least 20 people interested. So first come first serve.

 

I’m interested in the frame and a bunch of other things if you decide to part out I am somewhat local also

 

Sure, all yours for 3k
