Anyone remotely interested in a trade? My 80, your double cab taco?

[Sempertoy]

I dont want to say my 80 is used and abused, but it is well used. List of mods is very long. Looking for 2002-2004 double cab taco (4x4)

If you are remotely interested, let me know. Located in San Antonio

Well, we had our first baby in Nov. My intentions when I bought the LC were for a family wheeler, but now it is built past the point of a practical second vehicle. Also, I drive the LC maybe once or twice a month since I am a student now and poor lol.

 

[MaverickTRD]

do you have a build thread for it?

Rear dual swing out
Front tube from BIOR
yodateq custom boat side sliders
Creeper sleeper T-case/oil pan skid
Slee HD tie rod and drag link

etc etc etc etc. Lots of pm, needs rear main. All mods have less than 20k, most significantly fewer. gears are a year old, and have two trips to Utah on them.

I'd trade you my 99 4Runner, but doesn't sound like you'd be interested.

If it were a couple years newer I may be. I think 2002 was the first year toyota adopted the LATCH system for car seats.

 

[cdrewferd]

I think you're right. I have seen some guys put the LATCH type tie down in the back of the 3rd gen, probably stronger than stock if done right anyway.

I can appreciate your eye for safety and wanting to keep your kids safe, that's a very important thing.

I thought it was 01, for the LATCH?

My 99 gots no latch. I plan to retrofit in the next few months myself.

 

[austintaco]

I'm not looking to trade, but I will keep an eye out for you around Austin.

I just went through this on my T100, which does not have LATCH. What I learned, is that virtually all car seats work with a lap belt or LATCH. The one we just got for our baby (who is outgrowing the current detachable-base model) specifically says that you MUST use the seat belt even if LATCH is available once the child is of a certain weight. Some car makers only designed for an assumed 40lb carseat+child. I think they didn't anticipate that kids would be in the back in carseats so many years back when it first came out.

Please read this if you want some clarification on this - lots of other resources on-line too (i.e. the manuals for the Graco convertibles):

Thanks for the offer. I'm a strict Toyota guy though.
