Has your wish list price exceeded the purchase price ? That’s when I know I need to slow down.

 

[Mackadocious916]

You did good on this one. I just hope your square gets a good home.

Thanks and me too...

Yeah... I bought her with a little left over for maintenance/ mods as I knew it wasnt mint, but will just take longer to get there on a budget, but I know there will be a lot of OT upcoming....

So I took her for a spin and noticed some wetness on passenger floor... I panic'd for a sec worried about ac heater core type nightmare, but its more likely weatherstripping as ac runs fine, and its rained the past few days....
My headlights and belts come wednesday....

Still on my radar is suspension stuff to tighten her up $220, tires $450, alignement $75, seats($450 quoted), then bluetooth, cd, mp3, gps all in one head unit with alarm built in ( ???), and back to performance parts like header...

I went to a local parts place tognottis and picked up a plushvsteering wheel cover, and new floor mats as I had none...I cant wait to get newer minty seats when the opportunity presents itself as covers look so cheesy...

I bought a new one in '99. Installed the TRD supercharger and exhaust. Changed gears (can't remember the numbers) so I could run 33" tires.
It was a nice truck (for a Toy). but it had a very flat spot right in the midrange. At the time there wasn't a chip or program update.
I sold the truck in 2003 when I started traveling. The guy who bought it was able to get the computer adjusted to richen up the midrange but then'he complained the fuel economy was terrible. It wasn't great before the supercharger was put on anyway. At 55mph it was ok but at 70mph it was brutal.
May as well been driving a freaking BB.

When I see those steering wheel covers, in my mind I see a slightly heavy set black girl in her pj’s and house shoes rolling out of her hooptie at Walmart.

Thats good to know....did you have 2.7 or 3.4?

Well you are describing someone that seems all about comfort, and you should give one a shot as they are very comfortable, just make sure tou get the memory foam version, and not pleather stuff

The 3.4.
I don't believe there was a TRD supercharger for the 2.7.
Something else to mention, the charger didn't have an oil system, or maybe better to say it didn't get a lube line from the engine.
it had a sealed factory lubed bearings and TRD said they would have to replaced. And they did... after I sold the truck. The bower had
about 20,000 miles on it IIRC when the bearings started rattling. New owner contacted TRD in Cali and they requested he tear it off
and send it to them, which he did. Only a few weeks and the charger was back in his hands. They charged for the parts but labor was free.
All around 2004-5.

Did you have 95-97, 98-00, or 01-04?

They did have 4 cyl supercharger. I know they made 1st gen grey blowers then the genII black ones.... I can only legally have low boost level supercharger in ca so they say factory fuel is sufficient... No 5th injector needed...lc engineering bought the rights to the superchargers, but I don't know if they rebuild them...

My headlights came... I wasnt sure if I even ordered em as I got no tracking number... But they will look great once installed... All the headlight restoration kits I bought never got the job done...

Thanks. They hold value so much most are un buyable unless your willing to overspend, or I lucked out and got one that needs maintenance, but was cheaper initial purchase price...

I had wondered if she was in an accident based on how the hood sat...

When I popped hood today I noticed missing piece, so was juiced it wasnt accident induced panel misalignment...
