Ok guys, thanks to the old recession and having a part-time job that pays 8.00 an hour, it may be time to sell the 'ol street fighter. The reason this is a feeler, though, is because I'd need to feel like it was worth it, since this truck has more of my blood, sweat, tears, and money in it than anything else I've owned and probably ever will. Please feel free to ask questions, I've got a bunch of docs, pics, and other miscellaneous stuff to back up claims and whatnot. Yes, i'm kinda emotional about it, so don't be a bunch of jackasses, either. Ok here's the list:
97 (early) 2rz tacoma, 190,000 mi.
Custom turbo setup featuring:
Benzboy 4-2-1 tubular turbo header (has had the primaries re-welded to the flange by a professional certified welder while clamped to a machinist's plate).
T3/T4 Garrett turbo water and oil cooled, 57 trim compressor wheel, .63 A/R compressor housing, .48 A/R Turbine housing, stage 3 turbine wheel.
Garrett water/air intercooler completely custom integrated to the setup using mandrel bent tubing, bosch pump, summit racing 16 pass water cooler mounted behind the front bumper.
Bosch bypass blow off valve
Cometic 2mm MLS head gasket
32 pound 5th injector controlled by a split second 3D tunable AIC
Scangauge II
Clifford matrix RS2 remote start alarm system w/turbo timer function
Last (and highest) dyno: 285 hp, 325 tq.
As far as the rest goes:
Lowered 4" in the rear with blocks, 3" front with lower and upper ball joint flip
Detroit true-trac rear end
KYB GR-2 shocks front and rear (stiffest I could find)
BFG radial T/A tires on Cragar black D-window wheels, 15x7
4wd/prerunner front fenders to clear the tires
1998 tacoma front bumper (I think it looks better)
Centerforce 2 clutch
Pioneer DEH-P7600MP cd player, 2 sets of Boston acoustics components installed in the doors, old kicker 10" sub behind the passenger seat. The amp is blown right now, but it can be fixed or replaced before delivery if requested. Usually all the speakers run through the amp, but my stop-gap solution is using the amp in the deck to run the door sets with no sub right now.
Nu-Image white face flame gauges, VDO tach and boost gauge, auto meter narrowband rich/lean monitor.
Sweet custom Moon equipment foot gas pedal.
Sir michaels roll pan welded and smoothed, with LED tag bolts.
Flared bed sides.
Optima red top relocated to right side front of bed using a NHRA legal Taylor battery box.
Extang soft tonneau cover with 3 bows
Pics say 1000 words, though.

This is truly a one-of a kind truck, and I'm thinking somewhere in the 7500 range is fair. Located in Huntersville, NC (just north of charlotte) an no, it will never pass cali smog inspection, but always passes everywhere else with flying colors.
