Wanted double-cab tacoma (2001-2004)

Give the 4runner a chance before you decide to ditch it. If cargo space is an issue just get a cargo box or bag and if want a place to cook when it comes time for a rear bumper just build a folding table into the bumper. Plenty of folks have wheeled the rubicon in a 3rd gen.

Save your $$ for trips.

Good advice. The 3rd gens just have so much stuff hanging below the frame: exhaust, gas tank, links. The tacoma doesn't have any of that stuff. If I were doing strictly overland travel it wouldn't matter, but I worry about really wheeling the 4runner. Can you tell I'm trying to talk myself into the taco?

That's what skid plates are for.

I just got off the phone with Kurt. His experienced combined with his knowledge of the products in this industry are unparalleled. He gave me some great storage ideas for my 4runner.

Thanks dude!

 

[sixstringsteve]

Thank you. I appreciate you taking time put of your busy day to give me sound advice based on firsthand experience.

The only thing I can add is you don’t sound entirely satisfied with your 4runner. You keep saying how much you miss your taco. The Tacoma seemed to really fit your needs well. If that’s what you want again I say go find one, and dump the cash into it before you dump more money into the 4runner and again decide you would be more happy with the taco.

I know how you feel, I’m of the same mindset and going through similar feelings. I’m having a really hard time selling the 4runner, almost everyday I waiver over deleting the post to sell it. But I keep telling myself I need to do this this and this to it to make it more what I want. But I ultimately want a JK like you want a taco. So I just keep telling myself not to spend the money on something I will end up selling anyway and hold out to spend that money on a JK.

 

[sixstringsteve]

That's exactly how I feel.

I found one. Rock Taco offered to sell me his for a very fair price plus the GoPro. I should pick it up tomorrow and start swapping parts onto it. It's got lots of miles, but it's a strong runner.

 

[Thardy]

Sweet! Post some pics and specs.

 

[sixstringsteve]

I will once it's mine, I don't want to jinx it.

On a side note, I am officially declaring that if I sell this truck in the next 6 months I will go to therapy. I mean it.

Why wait?

I'm surprised it's not in the classifieds yet.

 

[sixstringsteve]

I have to own it and pay registration and tax first. How else would I lost the most amount of money possible?

 

[Bart]

Sounds like part of that happens in the morning. Good luck with the new build.

 

[sixstringsteve]

Thanks Bart. I hope to get it all back together by the end of next week.

 

[pELYgroso]

did you sell your other Taco yet, or will you have 3 rigs in your driveway for a bit?


ps, been there! haha

 

[sixstringsteve]

Tomorrow will be a 3 Toyota day, then the green taco sells tomorrow night and I'll be down to 2.

 

[sixstringsteve]

on that note, can anyone give me a ride from Lehi to Sandy around 8 AM tomorrow morning?

 

[193kyle]

I'm free tomorrow morning Steve, let me know when you want to head out.

 

[sixstringsteve]

awesome. Max Power just called me too. I might take you up on that Kyle so Bryce doesn't have to drive so early. I'm thinking 8 AM. I'll send both of you a text. thanks guys.
