Nice welcome! I would do the major parts that can fail with that mileage if not done already. Mainly radiator, trans cooler bypass and lower ball joints.

Looks like a pretty solid deal to me, especially with new tires. Congrats.

Wow, nice deal for California prices! Hope there's nothing wrong they "forgot" to tell you!

Now to make it your own!

Got it on the lift and everything checked out pretty good. Ball joints looked good. No Rust, only thing is the right wheel seal needs to be replaced. On a good note found out that it has its own Trans cooler

Nice pick up!

How's she drive on the road in terms of control and bumps? If it's on the original suspension it's probably time to look at some fresh shocks and some rear springs. Ball joints at 209k are probably a ticking time bomb as well. T-belt service history?

Don't just do one side with the rear axle seals, do both sides. Also, I would do the bearings and replace the rear axle breather. Will probably have to replace the rear brake shoes also. Plenty of write ups on this issue. It was the first thing I had to fix on my runner a year ago.

Nice! I like the color. You did pretty well for the price here in CA.

The truck drives awesome, shocks were replaced 100k ago so it's time for new ones. Also the the timing belt and water pumps never been done so that also needs to be replaced.
