Getting my new Tacoma tomorrow! I've been considering it and finally pulled the trigger. Picking it up tomorrow evening after the wife gets off work.

2013 double cab PreRunner V6 with an SR5 package and a towing package, plus tinted windows, and a vehicle shield package (not that I wanted it, but the college grad rebate I'm using ends Monday and it was on the lot).

Pics to follow after it comes home!

Nice! What are you going to do with the dime?

Craigslist probably. Maybe try to fix dome of the little nagging stuff that has been bothering me first though. It runs well, there's just a short somewhere and one off the bulbs for my turn signal indicator is out. I also need to replace an o ring on one off the Schrader valves for the ac. It could use a paint job and a new interior, but that would be polishing a turd...

I would love to keep it and drop a new engine in it for funzies, but I don't have the time/tools/place right now.

Extended cab right?

Screw it, what would you be asking?

Regular cab. I'm not sure. Whatever I can get for it

Pics brah

I'll take it off your hands, where I'm going I don't need blinkers.

Hopefully I'll be able to post this evening. We're picking out up at 4:30, but then we're going to the in laws. I will post before and after pictures

Interested in the s10 too

As promised, the S10. Bear in mind, that gray is the actual, faded paint color, not primer.











Now I won't be ashamed to have all of my A&M window stickers...

I'll start the bidding at a million six...

Rupees?

Also, where are you located

West side of San Antonio

Regular cab, long bed....perfect for a AD Chevy PU frame swap

Troy's Tractors dot com

It would make a decent farm or deer lease truck just for getting around the property or doing light work. No worries about paint scratches or muddy boots/paws. It cools in the summer and heats in the winter. Your wife will also be happy with the big bed

• Two brand new tires (replacements thanks to Discount Tire), other two are only ~3 years old
  
• A/C has a new compressor, just needs an o-ring replaced.

Would make an awesome sleeper

houston

I wish I was in Houston.

What's up with the Prius club across the street in the first pic?

Does the s10 have a 4.3?

No. It has the 2.8. I would love to do a swap, but no time/tools/place.

I have no idea why those people all five priuses. I'm pretty sure the rest off us are paying for a big portion of them though...

I'm not sure what to ask yet. I was going to do a little work on it first. How much were you looking to spend?

I have mostly been looking at full size trucks and trying to keep it under a couple thousand. Basically just something running and drive able for the time being

The enormous raw 125HP of the 2.8! I drove one of those for years.

Yeah, that 2.8.

It runs and its drivable. It doesn't have the power of a full size, but it does have a long bed,. Hauling the occasional load of lumber our washer/dryer home from Home Depot isn't a problem. It's when you get into hauling trailers or a load of pave stones where you run into trouble.

I was thinking around $1200 - 1500 (with the tool box) after I fix some of the smaller items, but I would have to see how much I could get done to it more that I'm not driving it every day. I'm thinking of replacing the power steering lines and maybe the pump. It could also use a new proportioning valve. After that, maybe track down the short between the alternator and everything else.

LS9

LS9? I'd be buying new tires monthly

But that won't stop me from dreaming about it

Like I said before a tuned 4.8 with longtubes and that thing would haul arse, lightness FTW

Actually "that" 2.8 is only 110HP, it's the TBI version that was 125, and judging by the interior pics and fender badge, I'm guessing this is the carbed version.

It wouldn't take much to make it move, it's only about 3000 lbs. The problem is converting power into forward motion rather than just spinning the wheels. There's a very good reason they put AWD in the Syclone...

Yes, it is the carb version. It's an 84, so one of the last. I think they went to full tbi 2 or 3 years later? Never knew how many horses it had, I just knew it wasn't very many.

Here are pics of the new Tacoma. I haven't taken many, just a few to send to my brother, but they will do.





And a little Rule #1 to go with 'em...
