Yes! Another build thread cause there aren't enough...
Long time lurker mainly in the 6th Gen forums. Really wanted to get either a 6th gen 2020 or 2021 TRD Pro or Audi SQ5. I decided I really didn't want to spend $60k+ on a new car when driving daily isn't a thing right now.
But another toy to build on, that's another story!!
Randomly came across this '99 SR5 3.4 V6 with 224k for $4k in excellent condition on my IG account someone local listed it there before anywhere and I just happened to be the first person to reach out to him. (2nd owner)
I needed something for camping, fly fishing, MTB, Winter sports...
I'm not new to building cars, been doing that for about 20+ years, but very new to building trucks, and especially a 3rd Gen T4R! I'm super excited to learn something new about a proven platform if cared for.
Some pics from before picking it up:
**Notice the difference in how clean the hatch jam is compared to above...
