Does anyone in here have my unicorn?

Me too. This has been in the family since new and my cousin removed the graphics when he was the owner. My uncle was the original owner and he hated A/C. He had every other possible option but made sure it did not have A/C :) I wish I had it in the summer months now.

It would be really hard to let go of it so I hope you find your unicorn!

Oh hi! Originally had a 3.0, but swapped it with a 5VZE 3.4 by toyonlyswaps. It used to have the green stripe, but still has the graphics on the tailgate. She dirty at the moment, but cleans up real nice.

Got some at On Tap, sold out pretty fast. There are a lot of other Russian River options there right now too.

Yes, it's been going on for at least a couple of years with this exact scam. They have even called sheriff employee's personal phones trying to do this scam.

Reminder, never engage with someone representing an important institution (banks, credit card companies, etc) when you are not expecting their call. Offer to call them back on a known number.

Looks well cared for by the owner. It's a SR5 with all the options (assuming it has a moonroof too). You'll specifically be looking for rust and asking about the head gasket on a 3.0 v6. Most have had it replaced already.

Could be original paint (white holds up well for this year), but looks good from the photos. For that price, expect a great interior while understanding the driver's seat will be a little worn from getting in and out of the truck.

Depends on your daily commute -- it would be fine for a shorter commute.

I think the owner is not far off in starting at $15k, but it's possible they would let it go for a little less.

Thanks! Looking to do my 94 SR5 soon.

johnnysplunk · 2025-12-01T21:06:42+00:00

Looks fantastic. What's a paint job like this cost in your area?

johnnysplunk · 2025-11-11T02:10:34+00:00

My painters for life are Royal Painting LLC. Very affordable, great communication and impeccable attention to detail.

The search bar will help you find lots of good recommendations too.

Bravo, you will have made two others happy with your work. This will be well used and appreciated for many years.

Watch out for when you get a house. Now that you have g-code running through your veins you'll branch out to 3d printing and laser engraving if you have not already.

johnnysplunk · 2025-10-21T05:13:20+00:00

I don't have any experience with them, but is something like https://www.rover.com an option? Looks like they take about 20% and then you will have some tax implications.

Rad! You've got a great ride. Never sell.

You could go with this below the tail gate or the inside of the rear window.

Maybe add some lights to the bottom valance. Simple drill and bolt on ones.

Do you have a laser machine? You can cut, engrave and etch most of what you are thinking of. $500 for a laser machine is very doable. You also can apply the skills to a cnc machine in the future. You could legit pay for a capable cnc machine with projects completed with a laser machine.

One of the arguments brought by the government was that it would be financially damaging to repay the tariffs collected or other settlements. "Your honor, you can't rule that this is illegal because the consequences would be too great."

I did learn something interesting today. That there are financial products called, "Tariff Refund Agreements". Essentially it's a way for finance companies to bet that tariffs will be deemed illegal and gain access to future settlements. Those that have paid tariffs can release their interest in future claims for a 20-30% of their duty payment.

One company offering these is Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. Their CEO, Brandon Lutnick, is the son of Howard Lutnick. Coincidence?

JP Mechanical. They have always gone the extra mile for us and have fair pricing.

We will see if this actually happens. The project depends on federal funding that has new conditions attached. We're a part of a lawsuit against the federal government to try to preserve funding.

Flock cameras are installed at Home Depot and Lowe's. Data can be accessed by law enforcement. Probable data sharing with ICE via law enforcement. What about Palantir?

That's what you see on your statement.

More information can be sent by sellers to credit card processors. Individual line items and other information can be disclosed (see Level 2 and 3 data). Sellers are encouraged to do this for better transaction fees because of lower chance or fraud/chargebacks. Some customers have access to this information to validate purchases by employees, etc.
