Action shots and video:

Private video

This truck has been my baby for a very long time, and she has taken me to many of the most beautiful places in Colorado, Texas, Utah, and Arizona. I wouldn't hesitate for a minute to pack her up and drive across the country. This is a recreational toy and second vehicle for me, so it wasn't daily driven, and taken out only for trail runs.

Black Bear pass, back way to Crown King, Broken Arrow in Sedona, The Gulches, Devils Canyon, Saints John, Hidden Falls Adventure Park, and many many more.

Before every offroad season in the spring no matter how many miles driven, she always got fresh SYNTHETIC ONLY fluids front to back. Engine oil, ATF drain and fill, front diff, transfer case, rear diff.

Bought as stock OEM 4x4 Limited with desirable J shifter (AWD limited slip diff + true locked hi and lo 4x4) and OEM electronic locking rear diff.

Built into the beast you see now:

Most importantly, the OEM clock works!

Properly done 4" suspension coil lift using Land Cruiser 8 wrap coils in the rear with LC Tokico shocks, and Tundra coils in the front with Bilstein 5100s. No body lift.

At 260k miles, 5VZ-FE motor was replaced with identical 5VZ motor with 125k miles on it out of a rear ended Taco. At that time ALL front end maintenance was done. Timing belt, water pump, new radiator, all seals, thermostat, etc.
Addicted Offroad front and rear bumpers with Addicted sliders, all fully welded to the frame.

Tundra brake 13WL 231mm upgrade.

External trans cooler.

Five (5) OEM 5 star 16" wheels wearing 255/85R16 Cooper ST MAXX tires. Pizza cutters are superior in every way to fat flotation tires because of the parallel contact patch, instead of perpendicular.

Light bar on front bumper wired to fog light control on steering column.

All LED interior lighting.

Weather Tech mud mats front and rear.

12k pound winch with wired and wireless controller. Power to winch can be turned on and off without popping the hood.

HAM antenna on roof with cable run to center console with adapter for Baofeng radio.

LED blinker relay installed.

RCI front bash plate with fumoto valve for easy oil changes.

Aftermarket muffler sounds amazing, it's a Vortex made by Cherry Bomb. Ask for video from the trail with good sound of the muffler.

Steering rack and synthetic bushings, plus inner and outer tie rods replaced at 250k.

New OEM lower ball joints at 250k.

New lower control arms at 260k.

New JBA upper control arms (for the proper lifted camber and caster adjustments) at 275k. With the JBAs the front wheel spacers were no longer necessary, but will be included with sale.

Rear diff breather relocated to gas cap hatch.

Convertible carpeted sleeping platform with storage drawers and cubbies. One drawer needs a replacement slide. Sleeping platform is removable to use the drawers with the rear seats up.

Aftermarket single DIN head unit installed.

Fully working sunroof.

Interior is in great shape, tan leather, consummate with an almost 25 year old truck. Only real visible wear and tear is the driver's seat where the driver slides in and out. Covered and not an issue with a seat cover.

2 roof racks included.

One key fob and one chip key, and one plain metal key that can be used for entry. Fobs are easy to get from amazon and program yourself with instructions found on T4R forums.

Everything works like it should.

Real world measured MPG is 12 city, 16.5 highway. Very consistent 215 mile range per tank.

Passes CO emissions.

Comes with a large bin of extra small parts, rear tail light, extra lugs, spare radiator from engine swap, HVAC switching unit, 75W90 Royal Purple gear oil, and lots of other stuff I've collected for it over the years.
