What have you done to your ride lately?

Got tired of looking at the 81 Yota and trying to decide if I should paint it or just sell as is.. or ? Finally pulled the trigger and put an ad on CL for it.

When does the LS1 truggy Build start?!?

Not for a while. I want to spend the money on the 250 (retractable bed cover... NOT a mod).. wife wants to have a custom closet organizer built.. she will win. Even though the truck is mine and I paid for it... she has wanted a new closet for a long time. So happy wife happy life.

I'm negotiable.

Those retractable bed covers are the shit. My dad's truck came with one and he said he'll never own a truck without one again. Much better than any tonneau as long as you have the bedspace to sacrifice for it.

+1 for the retractable bed cover. If I ever get rid of the Tacoma the bed cover stays with me. I will find a way to put it on my camp trailer. They are just too nice to let go of.

 

[Silverback]

Yeah, I want the aluminum one, can't recall the brand but I think there is only one. But shit.. its like $2300 or so! Ouch!

 

[AlienXtx]

I'm negotiable.

Turn it into a 72/79 F100 short bed or a 64 Falcon 4-door and you got a deal

My wife has a Cricket label maker.. I can put whatever name you want on it.

My dad's is Retrax brand. But it's not the electric one. His is getting worn out though so itll probably get replaced with an electric one in the next year or so.

Got zero bites off Craigslist but my wife got like 5 in 2 hours off FakeBook Marketplace! One guy offered $2500 cash, I didn't even both with a reply. Another was at $2800.. nope. Now I have two people coming in the next 90 minutes... one guy is bringing a trailer at 3:00.

 

[Silverback]

Got an offer from the first guy but the other guy actually called first so I am being nice and giving him a chance to match it and he won't show up for another 45 minutes or so.

Yeah, that's the brand I was looking at.. all aluminum construction. I saw the electric ones and that would be pretty awesome. How long has he had his that it is worn out?

He doesn't want to match the price so it looks like its going to a new home with a guy who likes Toyotas.. pulled up a TRD Pro 4Runner that he got into from a Tacoma. Should go down tomorrow after work.

It was on the truck already when he bought it in 2011. So it's been a while.

Ok cool.. so its not going to wear out too soon.

Ok, Not a fan of FB but fuck if you want to sell something... its the way to go. My wife was getting a shitload of people IM'ing her about the truck. I had to log in as her (post a pic of my dick...J/K ) and then mark the ad as "Sale Pending" to slow some of it down.

Nah. And a lot of his is from abuse... dropping stuff on it, slamming it shut on stuff, etc. But the biggest problem is when you latch it down it will slide open or closed (about 30% of the time). I'm sure he could just replace the latches with some new ones and it would be fine. But with the rest of it being so beat up, think hes just going to replace the whole thing.
