Many of probably don't know this, but last wednesday i decided to purchase another truck for my father. Some of you may remember TacomaJoe AKA T-joe AKA Joe Cleland. we made an agreement for the purchase price and i started to make travel arrangements. I sent out a deposit, Lined up a spare tire and wheel (Thanks Frankie) bought a hilift jack, arranged accomodations for the trip from Alabama to California. and took two days off of work to go and get the truck. Yesterday afternoon he E-mailed me saying that he no longer want's to sell the truck for that amount, and if i wanted to pay more he would be fine with that. I also found out today that he listed it on E-bay. I contacted E-bay and the auction has since been closed.

The whole story unfolds at:

Hey man that sux, I did some dealings with that guy, and I ended up geting screwed over. But I do have a little good news for ya. I am selling my Tacoma, it is set up with a SFA, and all the goodies. I am sure I want a hell of a less than T-Joe wanted for his. Let me know.

I have a 98 toyota tacoma for sell. I have done a SFA swap on it. The truck is in good condition, I am puting new gears in it next week. Just to list some of the Mods:

3in PA BL
Rancho Springs 44044's "Front" 7 leafs
Alcan Custom 7in Springs "Rear" 9 leafs
Dana 44 w/ rotated pinion
4:88's front and rear
Power Trax lock right lockers Front and Rear
Downey HD Shackles Front and Rear
After Market Rear Bumper, w/ 2 6.5 ton shackles
New Toyota Tranny

NEW 37x12.50R15 Super Swamper SSR's
Xenon Fender Flares
ARB Safari Snorkle
Amsoil Oils, and Filter through whole truck.
FlowMaster Exhaust
2001 style Taillights
2001 3in1 radio, with CD, Tape, and AM & FM Radio "new style" Complete Carbon Fiber Dash
Huskie Liners
Clear Corners, and Clear Turn Signals
Upgraded Wiring harness, w/ super white Bulbs
New Super Charged hood, like the new 4Runners

The list goes on and on... But Any ways I want to sell it. You can call for more details, or E-Mail Me I am asking $13,500. This truck is a great daily driver, and does great off road.

Or call Sam 936-824-3752 I am sure it has a lot more shit I forgot about, and it also comes with a lot os stock parts too.

that johnson's been a loser from the get-go.. why does it take everyone so long to pick up on this.. he's a weenie who doesn't know how to spend $$... he wanted to look super cool in a way built taco and he paid out the ass for it.. (noticed how he posted it up all over the internet looking for people to blow sunshine up his ass??) notice how he's always defending himself w/ "i can do what i want" blah blah blah.. if that was the way he felt he wouldn't be showing it off so hard.. he's not a wheeler he's a POSER.. and posers are not to be trusted.. they are not in the wheeling "family".. i say u take him to court and get that truck from him for the amount he said he'd sell it to you for.. hell u gave him a deposit.. little bastard is a retreatin' pansy.. :eek: :D


i don't care if someone sinks $1,000,000 into their rig.. just don't pretend to be what u ain't.. and don't come begging for my approval.. sheesh..
