OK, but like I said USA is HUGE. Is it really worth flying 1/2 way across just to Inspect and you have to do it before the auction expires. Last minute flights = big $. What are the chances you know someone in a random state, that you trust to check it out for you? Most must by blind, I don't count pics and a description. LOL

Correct me if I am wrong, but the 2000 Highlander did not have the tall springs like the '99s. It's just a cosmetic package, notable mainly for the hood scoop. Without the e-locker, it's no big deal. It's a 5-speed with some cosmetic gewgaws.

Yup, nothing I would call rare. Toyota made a ton of these things, so it's not like there's exactly a shortage of them.

Good to know, I may have misunderstood in my research the rarity of these.
Still a 2000 with only 100,000 miles.
Thanks to all for the input! once I detail I may put it on the BaT auction site y'all referred to.
I will try to add pictures when I have some good ones. Thanks again.

Good question, vehicle was in NE until one year ago, when I bought it back from a family member. I will get pics when able, but frame etc are in good shape. Thanks.

I think it's confusing rare with valuable which happens a lot. If you were to compare the production numbers, having a highlander/sport with a manual is in fact pretty rare. But that doesn't necessarily make it more valuable. For example a base 4-cyl with a manual is also very rare for a 3rd gen, but there's not many people who would ever pay a premium for that.
If it's clean, relatively low-miles and rust-free, that will net you the extra bump in price.

you can cold galvanize or hot dip things. think about it they have huge tanks for dipping things... road signs, bridge parts, and finding boat trailers in a hot dip galvanized is easy.
so the capacity is there to galvanize almost anything.
you would have to remove it for sure to hot dip it.
I have a frame siting out in my driveway waiting for a frame swap this next summer. I have been thinking about hot dipping it. probably run about $300-$500 to get it done. I have not decided exactly what I'm going to do with it yet for finish.

They pre-dip in a caustic solution. Sandblasting the outside will make a nicer looking finish.
I might do it.
