Finding a good Tacoma at a fair price should of been hard to find they were asking some crazy prices not to long ago.

you can make a slick plywood board to slide/ come-a-long the bear in. On the old refrigerators bases they have rollers that fit into the channels of the box liners to make life easier

salvage on that car is not very much outside of the cat =$300 + metal 300$

You might be right. There are a ton of them on the road, it's got a good motor, transmission and AWD. I'm expecting an offer from a salvage yard any time, we'll see what they say. Of course they know I am over a barrel. It would cost me $200 in gas and two days to hook up a trailer and go get it. That's an option also. If I can get $100 for it I'll send them the title in a heartbeat.

Sold it for $1000 to a local salvage yard. They will pick it up for that price as well. Sending them the title in the mail today.

Keep in mind that Tacoma has a composite bed the only issue I ran into was a terrible rattling noise on mine as the plastic bushing fall out from under the beds I replaced that one with a rubber one that fixed the problem. Mine gets good milage but add a load it drops quickly pulling an empty trailer even makes a difference in milage.

Overall it’s dependable as can be my off road model has way more junk then I ever needed but I wanted the crawler package so the rest comes with it. I’d buy another one if I had to just not willing to pay the current prices they want for a new one you will like it.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm with you on the mileage, it seems like it would be better, but it's only a little better than my F-150.
