New Taco, to me! (1 Viewer)

Hey all! Got me a new Tacoma, we'll it's new to me anyway. The Reg. Cab sucked for a family guy.

05' D-cab 37k on the clock 6-speed manual. Kinda a weird one cause it just looks like an SR5 package but it has TRD sport parts on it. like the Bilstein suspension and rear mechanical LSD. Not going to do to much to it for awhile. I'm gonna save up the cash first then do it up right. Like a full on Icon suspension and custom CBI bumpers and sliders. 35's etc etc... For now it just has 33" TRXUS M/t's on 16 steelies and a Bilstein 5100 suspension to level it out a bit.

Nice looking rig~! It's always cool to get an unusual package too, it keeps people guessing. I have those same tires (in a 31" size) on my ZR2, they are great in the snow, I really like them.

Thanks! The tires do rock in the snow!!! Took a ton of weights to balance them, hope they holdout and don't go out of round down the road.

Damn Chad, when I saw this post, I was really hoping that you had a pre-05 Taco. I'm getting ready to sell the IFS suspension parts off of my truck. I could have set ya up.

Wade??????

Josh! Where you been? I wish I had a pre-05 taco there are none around here. Already having problems with the 05'! They just don't make them like they used to.

Problems? With the new truck? Great, this is the part where Toyota's long history of holding value nose dives.

Yeah but it's probably from abuse of the P Owner. clutch is slipping/chattering when starting out in first. Steering is funky. Anyway I'm sure I'll get it all sorted out Toyota of DM service has always been excellent.

I hear that. There have been several around here for sale lately. Everyone wants top dollar for them of course. We've got a 98 on the lot here at work right now. Its got a little over 100,000 on it. V6, 5spd, ext cab. It's in decent shape...no rust or anything. The interior was nasty when it came in but it cleaned up alright. They've got $9995 on it but I know what they offered it to us for so....there's PLENTY of room to move on it.

By the way, I've been laying kinda low lately. No wheeling at all. I got married last fall and we bought and moved into our first house 2 weeks before the wedding. Funds have been pretty slim lately, especially for things like the truck and wheeling trips and such. By 2010, we'll be in VERY good shape though so the truck will hopefully get finished.
