For sale is my souped up 2001 first generation Taco with the rare step-side bed. I hate to see her go but I'm moving to Australia and it's too expensive for me to ship her all the way there. I am the third owner of this truck. I built her up for a surf expedition to Baja Mexico that never took place so she has all the upgrades with none of the wear and tear of such a trip.
Here are the upgrades I've made:
Full Old Man Emu Suspension Sustem
Pioneer DEH-X6700BT Stereo
Custom Rotopax Fuel Containers
Custom Tuffy Center Console
A.R.E. Fiberglass Shell
Custom-Built Sleeping Platform and Storage.
Mechanical/Electrical
Timing belt and water pump have both been done. My asking price is $14,500. No, I'm not selling my Yeti Cooler.
As you can probably tell, I put a lot of time, money and attention into this truck, so of course it also received regular oil changes. I built this truck to be very reliable for a trip to Mexico (which didn't happen), and now I have other plans. DM if you have any questions. Link to KSL ad here.
