OOh, I think that one is running rich, black smoke...
That’s nice. Collector tags after only 20 years? Here in Florida I think you have to wait 30.
Anyway, my miles aren’t that low but at least I will be there when my truck hits 200,000

Just bought an '02 with 102K on it
Hey all. Just bought this one-owner '02 SR5 with 102K on it. It is in sweet condition. I think it may have been owned by a "very large" guy who didn't go out much -because the driver's seat springs are seriously shot.. lol. Definitely garage-kept and not too rusty underneath for a northern Indiana-area vehicle (only the gas tank skid is super-rusty, and needs replacing. And probably the exhaust in the next few years). The brakes, transmission/differential, tie rods, boots, and other components are in really good shape for a 16 year old vehicle.
Like all older T4R it is sagging a bit in the rear, and that needs immediate attention. I'm going to put some good shocks and coilovers on it in the next few weeks, and also lift it 2-3 inches. And probably brake pads. I'm going to get it driving in as much like-new-shape as possible.
I bought the '16 TRD in the pictures last year with 10K on it. Been driving it too much including for work, and I'm now over 29K. So I've been looking for a 3rd Gen for the last 3 months to use as a daily driver. I expect to keep both of these for the long haul now. I drive a lot for work, and expense mileage. So I'm going to set aside the mileage expense reimbursements for a "make the '02 like new" fund.

Was too busy to get the story unfortunately. Low option 1999 SR5, no flares, chrome bumpers, 3.4 5 speed 4x4, white paint with moonmist interior, absolutely immaculate, couldn't even tell it had been sat in. I can only assume it was owned by an elderly person who has taken extremely good care since new.

I'm actually in Michigan - Ann Arbor area. The guy who owned the '02 was from N. Indiana according to the Carfax... first Merrillville then Schererville then Highland. He traded it in at Northside Toyota in Chicago where I picked it up. They were asking 10K. I watched it for a few weeks on-line, and had them send me pics of all the important stuff via email. Then was planning on taking my Mom to dinner for her birthday in Chicago ion June 28, and sent them an email offer of $8750 cash to pick up the next day. They took the deal. I was surprised. Shrug- maybe an end-of-the-month thing.
I'd really like to get some advice re: the best, reasonably-priced shocks and coils to put on it. I like going to Silver Lake MI & some minor off-road -but nothing super intense. So some good, quality entry-level stuff that would also be good for a daily driver is what I'm looking for. I'm expecting to spend $1-1.5K.

Welcome to the Dorado Gold club. If you're doing mostly DD and minor wheeling I would look at 5th gen rear and 99 tall front coils with OEM Tokico shocks. It would give you a comfortable on road ride with good capability and a little lift.
