WANTED: Toyota Tacoma

[wylee]

You bought one?

[TheIglu]

Looks like a '98-'00.

[breakdirt916]

yep, picked it up last night:
-1997
-4wd
-4-cyl, 5-speed
-xtra cab
-88,000 miles







there is some surface rust on the frame, but it's the best frame I've seen in months, and I stuck my finger in every hole and felt the inside which felt smooth...it'll get prepped and undercoated in about a month

[breakdirt916]

plans for it include:
-keeping it bone stock, well maintained, clean, and drive it like a grandmother to save on wear/tear/gas until the wheels fall off
-clean, prep, and undercoat the frame (maybe even something heavy enough to sound deaden the frame)
-lay down 2 layers of sound dampening all over the cab, seal the doors
-line-X the bed
-undercover/hard tonneau cover, bed extender
-7" sub under the passenger jump seat
-4-channel amp to power sub and front components
-nakamichi CD45Z headunit (light green illumination to match, of course)
-2nd gen iPod shuffle surface mount
-hardwired cellphone charger/mount
-navigation mount
-power windows/locks/keyless entry/remote starter
-stash tools under passenger seat
-stash tie-downs, bungee cords, and rags under driver's side jump seat
-folding aluminum, arched, ramps for the motorcycles

Congrats! good for you for not settling for something less, youre gonna love it. 88k miles? did you stay within your budget?

[mikeb]

'bout time! congrats!

[breakdirt916]

hahaha, thanks mikeb...I appreciate all your support...as this thread shows, I've done a good amount of searching to get what I wanted

otherwise, no...I spent a little more than I wanted to, but I got this for the long haul and I figure the little extra spent now will go a long way later on

the difference wasn't that bad, it just means I'll have to wait another month or so before I'm the safe zone to buy a house...

congrats on the purchase
