Edit 2:
Pics up!
Basics:
1998
4 cylinder
5 speed
4x4
172,000 miles
Desert Dune Metallic in color, it looks like a silver until it sits next to a silver car in the parking lot. Definitely has some sand/gold color in the mix
Oklahoma and Texas truck since the beginning, NO RUST!
For the 75,000 miles I've had it over the last 4 years it's been 90+% highway driving
I am the second owner. The first towed it behind a motor home at least a little. The result of that is the front bumper having numerous little chips in it. Luckily the hood is still in really good shape.
2.7l 4 cylinder - 100% trouble free since I bought the truck at 100k miles except for a starter rebuild and issue with the exhaust valves tightening once (standard things on all 3RZ-FE engines). Truck runs great!
5 speed manual transmission
High and low 4x4 works perfect - I don't off road but I do engage and use the 4x4 periodically to give it some use.\
Power windows & locks
Alpine head unit (BT stereo and phone)
Alpine powerpak mini-amp
4 in. Alpine speakers in front doors
6x9 Alpine speakers behind rear seats
Rides on BFG A/T 31/10.5 wrapped around stock 15 inch steelie wheels
Full size spare
The bad:
-One single side to side crack in the windshield from a rock dropped off a semi
-Paint is oxidizing along the top of the drivers and drivers side passenger door
-Rip in the drivers seat. I can't remember how big it is but I think around 3-5 inches.. I put seat covers on literally the day I bought it 4ish years ago.
-Crack in the inside passenger side panel where the storage compartment is in the "way back." This is really nitpicking the car until I can get some photos up.
The good:
-Removed old style cast iron exhaust manifold and replaced with the new steel pipe design that eliminates the manifold cracking issue. (Cheap cast=cracks)
-Within the last 10,000 miles I've replaced spark plugs, plug wires, and a few other small wear parts
-I've had the truck around 4 years and have documentation from every thing I purchased for it or maintenance I've done to it
-I do all the maintenance myself. I am an engineer and auto enthusiast so I keep on top of it all,
-except for oil changes. I take it to a local shop to support there business and obtain documentation proving to potential buyers that the oil was changed every 3-5k miles.
-Truck is CLEAN. Front carpet is clean, rear has a couple stains, no seat stains, no rips (bar the one I mentioned), and everything works like it should.
-No kids, smokers, or animals
-2 keys, original owners manual, clean title, never in an accident
Asking 6,900. Negotiable. Only selling because I need a truck bed to tote my motorcycle on trips. I had a Tacoma before this truck so I might go back that route. That would be one of the few trades I'd be interested in. Message me here anytime or by phone/text at (903) 975 0638
PICS: Warning, random order
