So if you didnt see, I totaled the 96 tacoma I just bought. Anyways, I really want to daily a mini truck (yota only!) right now so I got another. Its an awesome story how I got it too.. So I was surfing CL and found a set of decent wheels that a lady wanted to trade for stock wheels since they came with here yota.. so naturally I have to call.. anyways a day or 2 goes by and I get a call back. She says she just wants to sell them now since she is going to scrap the truck...long story short, she bought the truck and blew the head gasket on the way home. Her boyfriend bought a new head from a machine shop, and replaced all the timing, and gaskets and what not.. well he never got it to run again so he though it was blown.. So I said ok well how about Ill buy the truck.. she said 700, I said give me a few days (let her get desperate.) And she called me back and I told her I had 500... SOLD. So she kept the rims, I towed it home on trailer rims. For sharts and giggles, I try to start it since half the time I buy a "blown" motor, its not really blown, its just a dumb dumb that thinks it is blown. so Iit tried to crank but was backfiring.. obviously the timing was off... I put it TDC and the distributor was pointing at cylinder 3 lol ! so I moved it back a few teeth, put it together, fired it up.. and ill just say I now own the best smoothest running 22r I ever have ! lmao.. so I drove it around last night for a little and it has some balls... monday im putting a tag on it and my 350z rims and slamming it.... more about the truck, interior is spotless almost, has ICE COLD AIR!!!!!))), 214k miles. 5 speed, and at one point the majority of the truck was lime green because I can see it under the white...
heres some inside shots.. few things I got to deal with... the steering is sloppy so im ordering a front end kit next week. the driver door wont open from the inside. its missing 2 air vents the radio does not turn off with the key off and the clock stays on also.
you can have the chrome lol make me an offer I hate chrome. lol sorry haha, someone has to be lucky around here.
transferred my tag and insurance over today on lunch. had my friend mount my tires and I put them on my truck with 1/4 inch shims... not happy with the amount of lug stud but im just going to ride out with it till something bad happens.. lol I Think im going to order hids, and throw my 4runner front end on here from my blue truck since its just sitting still.... oh yeah, gotta slam it ASAP ! I don't really have money for blocks since I don't get my first check till the 25th and im pretty tapped out right now. should I just leave it alone till I can get blocks ? or should I go mono leafs for a little ? I want it really low and think I want like a 3 or 4 inch block with mono leaf, flipped ball joints and cranked torsion bars.... btw- tires are 205 40 17 front and 205 50 17 rear. rims are staggered 350z base wheels.
nice truck and u cant go wrong with that deal. i'd be super excited to slam it too but idk about mono-leaf haha
Id wait for blocks dude!! I know how it is being super impatient but I would honestly avoid monoleafing if you absolutely can! Its super sketch and it will ride like SH*%
Bro like i said before nice find and sell it to me since i need one. LOL.... But hey i just noticed that molding on the sides of the truck. Thats not stuck i dont think???????? You going to take it off?
thanks man ebay, its 35% off right now with free shipping. I need to order this asap lol eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices they make good sht Ive used them before on all of my trucks.. its usually like the first thing I buy. yeah my blue 89 in mono and I dont have any problems with it, also dont drive it very often but still... ive got the blocks, I just need u bolts ! if it would work and I didnt need something cheap to drive to work, Id be all over selling it to you. and that molding is stock, it came on my other 89. nope.. sold the x-cab, needed the money and the space so it had to go.
