Anybody need a work truck? 96 Tacoma 5 lug FS, SoCal

Well, after 11 years with me, it is time to let this one go.

1996 Tacoma Standard Cab 2wd (5lug), 5 speed manual. 253,000 (and change). Truck has AC/PS/PB/PL (roll em up yourself windows).

Mechanical:
- 2RZ-FE. New top end less then 5,000 ago (with receipt)
- New OEM Toyota radiator, T-Stat, cap and hoses (also have receipt)
- Mobil 1 and toyota filters from the day I bought it (130,000 ago)
- Clutch was done ~80,000 ago (still fine)
- Regular maintenance done at specified intervals (by me)

Suspension:
- Bilstein shocks
- Poly swaybar bushings
- Cross drilled brake rotors, EBC pads
- Inner and outer TREs done in the past few years

Interior:
- Toyota OEM buckets in place of the factory bench
- Center Console
- Gauge cluster with Tach
- Factory clock (didn't have one when I bought it)
- Ricey shift knob (NEW!!!!)
- Kenwood CD player with Aux input and "sat ready" (XM antenna on roof)
- Infinity speakers in stock locations.
- Alarm with keyless entry (oddly, keyless entry only on drivers door, meh, whatever, never bothered me).

Exterior:
- Color matched cab high Leer shell
- Bed mat
- Bed mounted locking toolbox (not in pics)
- Chrome grille (96 prerunner/4x4) modified to fit 2wd
- Chrome bumpers (were not chrome when I bought it)
- OEM Toyota Bra (does a good job of covering up the rock chips). No panties, sorry
- Clear marker lights and turn signals
- Weathertech vent visor thingies
- Tinted windows

Wheels and tires:
- 16x8 Koenig (no idea on what they are called, look sort of like TRD wheels)
- 225/55/16 Yokohama YK580s, less then 5,000 miles on them.

Title is clean and in hand. Truck will be smogged before change of ownership.

This truck has been an utter workhorse for me for the last decade plus. Never left me stranded, knocked down a steady 20+ mpg and looked pretty damn good doing it. Only reason I am selling is because I am an idiot having a midlife crisis and decided I had to have an X-Runner.

Truck is NOT perfect, it is (IMO) in amazing shape for its age and mileage but it is 18 years old, has over 1/4 million miles on it and has been my daily. She has some dings, bumps and scrapes. Nothing major, the paint on it is all 100% factory as far as I can tell.

If I didn't have more cars then your average street corner used car lot, I would hang onto this, but I think it is time.

Price is $5,500 $5,000OBO.
As a bonus, I will throw in a set of DJM upper control arms (3in drop), had planned on dropping it, never got around to it.

I may also be game for trades. A RWD japanese performance car might be of interest, classics too (Pre 75 American or Japanese). No sportbikes, tattoos, massages (with or without happy endings), chickens or dogs (already have enough dogs).

And now…… A crapload of pics…..

 

Great looking truck! Bump to find a new home

 

And SOLD!!!!
