i wish it could get some of it back! that things was stripped in tj an hour after it was stolen! with only liability insurance too...advice to everyone:insure everything! think im gonna insure everything i own from now on!

Misfit4Runner · « **Reply #9 on:** Oct 16, 2007, 09:11:31 PM »

it being stripped was that speculation or is that a fact? my familys had 2 yotas stolen and we got both back within a week... you never know

rscalmo · « **Reply #10 on:** Oct 16, 2007, 11:07:02 PM »

well that gives hope! where did they take them and what was taken from the vehicles??

Hey were you serious about it being stripped in TJ?.Reason I ask (and I hadn't even thought about this)is because I know a couple of Rock Crawlers in TJ who own Toyotas.Definately not car thieves but I will get in touch with them to see if they know or hear of anything.

rscalmo · « **Reply #12 on:** Oct 16, 2007, 11:17:51 PM »

please do! if u need any specs on anything let me know! and for the record i was assuming it went to tj since most cars go there, thats why sd has a car stolen every 20 min!!!

My dad had an 81 stolen from him that was IDENTICAL to rscalmo's and it was recovered a week and a half later.They stole the rims & tires,stereo and off-road lights.I will get in touch with the guy I know in a few minutes here.

I just talked to my buddie and told him about it,he said he's gonna spread the word.He lives in Murrieta but his club is based out of Tijuana and he also said he's gonna post it on one of their local boards ( www.4x4survivors.org and www.baja4x4.org ) .I'm gonna link this thread after he posts it.I REALLY hope you get your truck back brotha!!!

iNfErNaL · « **Reply #16 on:** Oct 19, 2007, 03:20:28 PM »

Actually,I just remembered I'm a member on one of their boards so I posted it:

http://mexico.4x4survivors.org/viewtopic.php?p=11428#11428

It's all in Spanish so you might not understand some of it.

So,any updates? Did you find this truck,or what?.

Wow,I just noticed this

...I really hope you find your truck dude and I think you're a really cool person but you should think twice before making comments like this,I cross posted this on a couple of the Baja Forums and got a couple of PMs of people who feel insulted by your comments.

rscalmo · « **Reply #19 on:** Oct 24, 2007, 12:38:36 PM »

didnt mean to insult anybody. it was a joke to make light of the situation,sorry! i just know there is a big market for stolen vehicles in tj...easy to get down there where no one will look twice at it.used to know people that knew people who did it all the time...but no word,i dont think its ever coming back to me!know anyone selling anything up there?

Only my dad's but he's asking a little much in my opinion.Super clean 83 with 4 inch APs and 33s with a rear Detroit,$3500

rscalmo · « **Reply #21 on:** Oct 24, 2007, 02:55:17 PM »

thats all he has done to it and he wants $3500?? thats what mine woulda been worth with everything i put into it!any pics??

Yup,it's pretty clean and including what he paid for it he's about $6500 into it.But that's why I said he's asking too much for it.I'll sell it for him no problem,it just wont be as easy as if he was asking about a grand less,either way he's in no hurry to sell it so if he doesen't get what he's asking he'll just hang on to it.Everyone thinks highly of their own vehicle,you mention at the beginig of this post that you turned yours into an awesome beast,I'm sorry but 33" tires don't qualify as a beast to me,just saying.That's just the way it is,people are usually partial to their rigs...Exept for me

,I allways think my rigs are piles of junk

.Here's my dad's exept it doesen't have those same tires.

haha your right! everyone...except you haha! your right about 33s! luckily i didnt buy the 35's yet!was waiting for christmas!!that truck is nice! looks like it was garaged the whole time!nice! cant tell if it has the high steer on it...so what kind of rubber is it sitting on now? those look like 35 bfg muds...
