The “YOTA"

The YOTA is SOLD



 

1987 Toyota Tacoma Truggy

This is a mighty fine truggy capable of conquering just about any trail or obstacle, I have owned  it for about two years and the only thing I have done to it is add beadlock wheels and add a tool box. I really didn’t like the feel of the clutch so I replaced it even though the old one would have worked just fine for a very long time. 

I do not know the true mileage of the engine although it was fully rebuilt by the original owner. It runs strong and starts immediately.

I did not build this vehicle, I purchased it just about how it is today besides the beadlock wheels. It used to reside in Colorado and was built as a rock crawler. It has seen very limited use since I have owned it. It has the cancer theme because two of my family members are suffering from this disease. (My wife also said she didn’t care if I bought another 4X4 so long as it was pink). The Truggy has been stored indoors the entire time I have owned it.

I do have a Colorado title for the Truggy but would not advise driving it on the highway with the Beadlock wheels, full hydraulic steering and the big ass tires.
