I guess I should end this build thread here.

This truck had around 155,000 miles on it, still had many more miles to go. It was a great truck that never let me down, literally, in good times and bad.

This truck had such a great impact on my life, I don't know where I would be right now if it wasn't my first truck.

Wherever it is now, R.I.P....

sucks to hear. hope you find a new ride soon

Well, I'll be driving a Honda CR-V that my mom is letting me drive. She put full coverage on it and put my name in the insurance only. A couple years from now, she wants to put the car in my name. It's a nice car for what it is with only ~74,000 miles on it, it's not a pickup truck, but it's better than nothing for now.

Since I won't be paying insurance for a while, I'll be trying to save up for another Toyota Pickup, maybe a cheap one that needs a little work. Maybe even a Tacoma with a 3.4. But it'll be a long while, before anything like that happens.

Get a tacoma. You wont regret it.

Get a trd package to get the rear e locker

I would like a TRD package Tacoma. The only thing that drives me away is that almost every Tacoma I have seen has Leaf springs that have a negative arc. I haven't read what the deal is with that though.

so put a deaver 10 leaf pack in it... lol

edit: to answer your question as to why its like that. 2-3 leaf packs with a small overload spring. add the heavier weight of the tacoma vs the pick up, and the close leaf mounts, you'll get your answer

cr@ves4wheelin

Oh okay, that's really weird that they turn out that way, especially when you watch the leafs bend. Anyways, yeah my eyes are set on the Tacoma.

MaK92-4RnR

yeah the chevy 63s are still a popular swap in tacomas. but Deavers are a bolt on but cost 800 bucks. then again, the chevies will cost you that much too if you cant weld. so its preference

cr@ves4wheelin

Wow, that's a lot, but at least there are options out there, I would love a long travel Tacoma. Except the next one I mod, will probably be a total sleeper, just so it doesn't attract attention.

There may be an update on my truck.

On Feb. 8th, my friend called me at around 3:43pm today swearin he'd seen my truck goin down esplanade in Chico. Everything looks about the same, but it has a black tailgate on it now. According to him he was almost 100% sure it was my baby, and called the cops on it.

He said it took a right off esplanade into cohasset. So I searched around that area after work, but no luck for me.

Like I said, just an update. I'm pretty sure the cops would've called me by now if they seen it. My buddy was walking so he couldn't go after it, and I don't believe he'd call the police for just anything, so this could be serious.

Sorry blazen8, I never did see your post til just now. I was goin through this thread for old times sake. But no, nothing did ever turn up. Everyday, I wear the old key to it as a necklace, maybe some day it'll turn up, and I'll rip it off my neck and put the key in. That's what I like to think anyways, but the only thing I can do now is keep on keeping on til the end.
