You just can't make this stuff up….Today, less than two hours ago, I parked beside this VooDooBlue to take some pictures and a 3rd VooDooBlue pulls up beside us. An OffRoad, SR5, and Sport. Unfreaking believable. Strength in numbers Ragnar, strength in numbers….

Well-Known Redneck · From N Georgia MtnsRagnar told me he thought I was funny,
he always replied back that I was a ham,
but then one day he upped and he left me,
I drove that Georgian right of his town,
Where or where are you tonight,
Why did you leave tacoforum.com,
I searched the world over and I thought I found true love,
you went to TW and "Pfft" you was gone…..

I just hope and pray that everything is alright with him! He's been mia for close to a month now!
Went to the dmv this morning for an early 9am appointment. When I came out a white gen3 taco was parked on my passenger side, and a silver gen3 limited on my drivers side....that truck was loaded, both double cabs. The funny thing I parked in the next to last place in the parking lot away from others when I got there.

genuine parts are quite a bit for the old truck! more than 1000 i reckon, one part is over 500$
he said the 160$ is to write up the estimate after taking a look at what all is going to be needed

Had to be a trd pro, or limited for that kind of coin. Idk why everyone rags on the automatic. I love how smooth mine shifts, plus its so spot on the way its learned my driving habits.no pics...

From my experience, as the inventory of older Japanese vehicle components dwindles, they hike the price up to a point one has to want it real bad that their willing to pay double.

I've always had my right hand on a stick
Except when driving an auto then my right hand is always on the lever looking and feeling dum
And the auto on that gen2 is a pitiful slug in D trying to speed up on freeway
It sucks gas and goes absolut nowhere fast
Until more and more throttle is applied

I'm not surprised. I test drove a gen3 4 cylinder auto. You had to scream it to go up long hills just to keep up with traffic in the other lane. I wondered what Toyota was thinking by putting a 4 cyl in these mid size trucks.

You know, I just now looked on my phone at the new 4th gen 2024 Tacoma and it does come optional with a millennial anti-theft device! You have a great point TexasBigBlue, maybe I should get one with my raise! Lol! Still keep Little Taco around for a second vehicle, work vehicle etc. Definitely get the double cab, possibly a prerunner!no pics...
