    similar "buckle" dents and rolled flat and tugged on both fenders

    djm 2in spindles, broken off steering stop in drivers side, no wheel stop on pass (passenger caliper is painted red)

    going to be easy to spot the cobra wheels as they arent easy to come by. and as far as i know, no one makes replicas of that generation cobra wheel. good luck finding the truck in good enough condition to bring her home! hope it wasnt the "meth-heads" that sold it to you in the first place brutha.

    i'll be looking out for it around tacoma. mine got stolen from in front of my house about 6 months back, thank heaven i got it back the next day, all they took was my amp and deck faceplate. ripped up the interior something fierce though. hope you get yours back in better condition. btw, bulldog alarm systems @ autozone are only 15 bucks. i use that and a steering wheel club and i havent had any issues since.

    I talked with him yesterday and no updates. He has this posted on 15 sites and is looking on craigslist everyday. I just seen this truck in person a month ago and it was a clean DD. Best of luck getting it back.

    thx for your support guys.:cry:

    sublogo-

    thats kinda funny, i was in Santa Ana the 2 days your truck got stolen and recovered :eyecrazy:
    i did have my eyes peeled for yours (and mine), glad you got yours back.


    trying not to think about mine...




    am in the market for a $500 ish 84+ standard cab as a new stout donor, tho.



    danny-

    club wont slow em down, you can cut through a steering wheel in seconds, its the softest metal on the car. put in some disabling stuffs... been thinking of buying a couple "boots" for each car. now everything is under lock and key and behind some bullets

    In really good shape too, they only stole:

    Stereo
    Battery
    Rear shocks
    5 lug nuts
    Most everything in the glove box

    Still has the wheels (I am a waliking advertisement for gorilla wheel locks now) and they didn't touch the motor.

    the 5 lug nuts part made me laugh but otherwise thats excellent news! by now most are chopped up and never found again! atleast everything they took is simple to replace. id drop the tank and drain it though just incase.
