Well the time has come to give the old Tundra a new lease on life.....I'm putting a 14-bolt w/ 4.88's & ARB in the rear, a Solid D60 up front, 4-speed Atlas (clocked to 0 degrees), full in-cab cage, and switching over to some TrailReady HD17 wheels.

Cool. I was wondering how yours turned out. Sounds like I'm in the ballpark.

As said before....you just need the right buyer to come along with the cash. $20k is an awesome
deal for that rig and it's easy to see that's it been built with great care and done up right.
Still one of my top favorite Toys of all time. :smokin:
If you sell it, somebody is gonna get a sweet rig!

Good luck on the sale, that is a bada$$ truck man. I remember back when I was little, this was my dads first truck when we moved back to the states, never did I ever imagine that someone would do that to it.. but I sure am glad someone did. Hope you dont sell but GL if you do!

Maybe I'd be better off listing it as a "complete rock buggy parts kit"....drive home over $35k worth of parts for $17k............just add your own chassis :laughing:.
Somebody could have a bad ass Toyota V-8 powered buggy for under $25k......WTF?
Can't market it much more than this -

I'd buy it if I had money... It's definitely not for a lack of want.

It the market right now, I havent seen much for rigs actually moving lately unless they are dirt cheap to start with. Good luck on the sale, if I had the money I'd rock it and sell my POS:laughing:
If you let it go for less than $25,000 I will personally go back out there and punch you right in the junk. So few rigs are so meticulously built. If they don't want to come off the cash just keep it. Hell, use the parts for the new build. You would come out better than if you sold it cheap.

Well no worries there, according to Ebay it isn't even worth $13k, so fuck everyone......I'll just keep on driving it or part it out for $20k and throw the rest away :flipoff2:.
I wouldnt believe it unless I saw it myself...it was kinda sad.
Drive it 'til the wheels fall off.

That's kind of what I was thinking. I'm not even going to do bumpers and winch, just sliders to protect the rockers.

A rear bumper to protect when dropping off of things would help since you won't have the departure angle you're used to... Seeing your past work I'm sure you can fab up some kind of lo-pro rear skid that ties into the stock bumper with 200 dimple dies :flipoff2: If you want to brave the Yotatech of the Tacoma world, TTORA has a lot of used parts for decent prices from time to time. Not sure how Taco savy you are, that may be obvious to you.
