Pending financing, I shall have a fourth vehicle. Anybody want to buy a couple cars?

Yep..found out that a friend of mine bought a new truck. So...of course, I had to jump at the chance to get his old truck -- a 1998 Tacoma for a mere $5000!

A friend of mine runs a dealership, and he'll try to get a loan for me..so if it all works out, I'll have to post some pics up eventually. Time to sell the Bronco & the Corolla..I'm taking up too much space.

Details:
1998 Toyota Tacoma SR5 4x4 V6
Extended cab
Manual transmission
Air conditioning
Cruise control
Tilt wheel
Bed liner
Aluminum toolbox
265/75/15 studded snow tires

I hope it works out..especially since TRD makes a s/c (~$1899), and URD makes a performance/tuning kit for it (~$9xx)...

good luck on your buy

is it the TRD package, if so, then u just described my future truck

get me specs on the Bronco. i have a friend up in RI who's looking for one.

Unfortunately not - but it fits 265/75/15s nicely

From what I've read, most TRD offroad package parts are replaced if you put a lift kit on the truck, which I'm hoping to do eventually..so it probably won't make much difference except for the sticker.

1984 Bronco II
2.8l V6, 3sp auto
94,xxx miles
Four wheel drive works - needs new ujoints on the front driveshaft/axles
New transmission pan gasket and filter
Fresh oil change/filter
New-ish battery
New battery cables
New starter solenoid
New starter
Roofrack

It looks like the spare tire rack was open and someone backed into something - the panel it attaches to is slightly pulled away from the vehicle, but it doesn't look too hard to fix.

Rust in the floor was repaired with fiberglass and sprayed with undercoating - the body has some minor rust, but it's solid.

It runs a little rough, and will overheat eventually - I'm thinking a bad thermostat..I'll probably try to fix it sometime this week. If your friend wants to come get it as-is, I'll let it go for 300 bucks, and toss in a new plug wire set and a new u-joint.

i shall pass the word - thanks

Financing went through..just purchased insurance -- going to sign today!

congrats on your new truck

thats good to know, cuz i wanna get a 98 tacoma extd cab v6 4x4 5 spd in black, and eventually get the TRD supercharger for it

I'm gonna hijack this thread, just for a second.

Great truck. I have been looking into Forced Induction for my '03 Tundra though, and everything I see about F/I on toyota pick-ups makes it just waaaay too much of a hassle. I know in the case of my truck, either the Powerdyne supercharger, or the STS Remote-Mounted Turbo kit...both require major Valve Body Modification to keep the tranny from destroying itself during shifting.

I'm not saying don't buy a Tacoma, it's a great truck.

Sorry, thread released!

Also on the TRD package, the truck has a RR Diff lock button

With the URD performance package installed along with the TRD supercharger, it's supposed to run quite well. I also have a manual tranny.

I think a Tundra will be my next truck..maybe in 2 or 3 years.
