I have decided to sell my first gen... Not to worry, I'm getting another one, but this one is too untouched to do what I want to do.
First of all, I put the price high based on the curent sale of two other first gens on eBay. I bought this from the original owner's son in TX (truck still in TX, but I'm bringing it to ohio next week).
I bought it a year ago and posted on here for advise about what to do with it. I got it with a blown head gasket and a transmission that does not shift. I bought a new (yes new) complete head, head gasket, timing set, chain, guides, water pump, oil pump and a few other little tune up tings. I thought I had decided to keep it. Then we dropped it off with the transmission shop where it say for 3 months before they finally got around to fixing it. We tried to change the solinoids on our own but it did not fix the shif issue, so we took it to eagle transmission. They did new solinoids (to rule out the part store ones I bought being the problem) and then found the issue was a "wiring issue".
So now the truck runs and drives like new and can literally be driven anywhere. Justin (from Rocktek Customz) has been driving it for several months for me to insure she is all sound.
This truck has all the SR5 goodies, and Factory bug guard,running boards and cruise control. It is I. Such good shape, the seats look better than my 2013, the top has never been off, so the trim is perfect and even the knobs on the dash still look new. This thing really is the nicest I have ever seen.
It does have a couple scratches on the driver side, dented molding on the driver side, and a spot under the fuel door the size of a nickel where the gas has worn through the paint.
TX rust free truck.
You can see in this pic that this door was repainted (before I got it) so it has no graphics.
FYI, I am driving down to TX next week for a wedding, I will be trailering this truck back with me, so if you are interested and you are between TX and Ohio, let me know.
