sorry about that fellas. i added pictures originally on this, and my new kitten walked across the keyboard and the next thing you know, i lost all my pictures. lol all set now.. let me know what ya guys think. comments and suggestions welcome

 

nice taco man. if it wern't for the $6,000 premium for a equal model/specs/etc as my Ranger, I'd be driving one.

 

haha not a problem... i forget to post the pictures sometimes... hahaha... truck looks good.. we dont mind the yota and mazda guys hanging around on the forum, its them chevy guys we dont like!!! haha..

oh and love the NO PARKING sign, yet you park there anyways!!! i'd do the same thing if no one was around..

 

thank you shane. you sir, have one of the very many, nicest truck on this site.

 

Very nice! I'm with Shane, if they didn't cost so much more than a ranger around here I would have had one as well.

 

looks good man!

 

Looks nice

 

nice man, thats the only body style toyota id own. nice truck!

 

thanks guys. appreciate the comments.

patrick, you have a beautiful truck as well man. keep up the good work.love the beadlock to match the truck. and i love your toyhauler.

sweet truck i want a taco

 

Nice ride man. Time for a TRD blower.

 

I would love to scoop up a charger kit, but the 3800 price tag alone, steers me away. i could only imagine what a dealer ship would get out of you to install it too! If i were to get one i would absolutely install it myself. the increase is from about 200, to around 260-280hp. Thatd be a pretty nice gain in the size truck it is. Of course those numbers all depend on size pully, and the URD 7th injector which is a must from the stories ive heard.


thanks again for the comments guys.

Well we got a few more inches of snow tonight, and when i was heading home,(on a back road) i was coming into a downhill corner, and went to go apply my brakes gently and i was NOT stopping and i started sliding sideways into a corner. At this point i was thinking OH BOY this is gonna hurt, because on this corner is a very steep embankment/cliff sort of setup, and i was coming at it pretty fast. Unfortunately you pick up a lot of speed while sliding in the snow. Well with quick thinking i cranked the wheel hard in the direction of the corner and down shifted and put it to the floor, and it kicked my *** out and i regained enough control to get my truck back on track and come out of the corner in a fish tail. it was a very scary situation, and my girl friend was in the passenger seat almost in tears. i felt horrible. well im here and my truck and the both of us are luckily fine, she is a little shaken up...

All i know is i pulled over after all this and thanked god, and trying to calm/comfort my girlfriend.


Any one have ever similiar expieriences? feel free to share!

well that's good to hear at least you guy's are okay

 

5 stars man, i love the Yoytotas. Very nice truck.
I always wanted one like the one on Back to the Future...

not sure what year it is but im fond of that body style...and it looks like yours is somewhat similar...very nice man.

 

crawly, you got good taste in trucks, thats one real sharp yota. But that exact truck actually isnt even considered a tacoma yet. it is considered a toyota truck. tacoma's didnt start being made until 95. my truck is a 2002. that particular truck is between 89-94.5. those trucks come with a 3.0 6 cylinder, literally in-destructable.

!!UPDATE!!

my girlfriend got me a westin ultimate series bullbar for christmas, and i finally got around to painting the chrome trim around my clear corners to match the truck. pics hopefully this weekend.

hopefully body lift should be ordered in 2 weeks, 305's hopefully around then too. and i plan to have my exhaust redone with bigger tips around my birthday which is jan. 26.

thanks,
mike

 

Hey is that a TRD? And the frame on your tuck hasn't rusted through?

Not talking smack. Well ok the first question was.

 

The Toyota 3.0 V6 was a nightmare. They didn't like head gaskets.

And like any truck if you don't take care of it in a salty environment it will rust through. If you watch it you will be just fine.
