    Very excited about my new purchase. My buddy picked it up for me in Tampa, now I have to find my way from NC to pick it up. Here are the stats.
    1998 4X4 V6 Auto 111k
    1 owner and no rust
    My buddy said it's a little ridiculous how clean it is for its age.
    I just wanted to share. Good day.

    picked her up for $7500. All it needs it shocks/struts. Timing belt/water pump was done in December of last year. I think it was a fair price.

    Thanks for the kind words. I know these are very hard to find with low mileage and no rust, so I feel lucky to find this one. This truck would easily go for over $9k here in the NC mountains.

    update on my "new" truck. Got it home, changed the shocks, struts, radiator, and bought some OEM wheels with some smooth riding highway tires. I love it so far. Here are some pics. taco3_zpsfa8f3bd0_20302a3276d1bf0713abc33bcbdf8bc85c2d937e.jpgunnamed_zps53df7d80_03094abf1d6a3ce19df4b97080df086d1bc7d6ed.jpgunnamed2_zpsa3223d78_a9dadf11e33275181e365fe505d96b1e19c70767.jpg

    Very nice, looks brand new!

    I would be so jealous if I didn't already have an 02 Double Cab.

    As stated earlier the price ($7,500) was indeed a steal!
