FS: 2005 Tacoma Access Cab SR5 - 4x4 - 6 Speed Manual (price drop)

NO LONGER FOR SALE




May I introduce you to Black Betty, my unicorn, complete with her own theme song

Truck started out in AZ (currently in southern CA). I bought it from a firefighter in Phoneix who was driving back and forth from Flagstaff all the time. He put ~80k miles on it in 3 years, and I have added another 75k in the past 8 years. Mostly road trips to and from AZ/ CA and all around the southwest. It has been wheeled a few times, but not a ton. Paint does show AZ pinstripes. Roof and hood were repainted a few years ago by a shop I worked at that built concept cars for big auto shows (it is a strong paint job). Rear quarter panels and door sill over front doors are showing signs of sun fading.

2005 4X4 Access Cab SR5
- 4.0 with ~155k miles
- 6 speed manual
- Teflon coated American Racing gunmetal 16" wheels with year old BFG TKO All Terrain 285/75/R16
- Tires have nationwide certificates from Discount Tire/ Americas Tire (blow a tire its about $60 for a replacement instead of $250, I've had to use it once and was totally worth it)
- Bilstein 5100 adjustable ride height front shocks (currently set to level to minimize wear and tear on front CVs)
- Camburg 1.25" Uniball Upper Control Arms (less than a year old with new bearings)
- Stock intake (pics show KNN, but I just removed it for SMOG purposes)
- Registration just paid and good for another year
- Aftermarket exhaust (need to confirm which brand)
- Snugtop Sport camper shell
- Just replaced hinges and upgraded the lock
- Bed has a bedrug installed, super comfy for sleeping in
- Interior is pretty much stock
- Cabellas front seat covers (cloth underneath is in super good condition)
- Super dark tint, for those AZ summers
- Viper car alarm with remote lock
- Key fob makes extra beeps like it is not receiving a confirmation from the truck, but works fine. I had a shop check it out and he said to not worry about it. In the 8 years I have owned, the alarm system has never locked me out

Maintenance
- Front wheel bearings and CV boots replaced last year at dealer (~$1,000)
- Oil changes every 5k miles
- Full brake fluid flush June 2015
- Marlin Crawler Shifter Seat installed June 2015
- New rack and pinion with polyurethane bushings installed June 2015
- Just replaced all 3x U-joints 1/30/16
- Just replaced serpentine belt 1/30/16
- Front Diff Fluid replaced 2/4/16
- Front Diff 4x4 ADD actuator soldered 2/4/16
- It's been super trouble free since I've owned it with the little-required maintenance I have done
- It is ready for the Toyota TSB for the rear leaf springs, so as soon as those are in stock, those will be replaced by dealer (if it doesn't happen before I sell it, any dealer should be able to take care of it)

Need to do
- Replace drivers side sun visor, it broke and won't stay up. I have it ghetto rigged to stay up. This has been bugging me for a year, but just haven't taken the time to buy one

Black Betty is located in Huntington Beach, Ca.

NO LONGER FOR SALE

She is one bad ass truck and I wish I could keep her forever. My first child is due in about 7 weeks and I need something with a little more room in the backseat.

Open to trades for 100 series Land Cruiser or LX470, 2001 or newer, preferably with out the stock navigation.

I am going to clean her up this weekend and will add current pictures once I do. I wanted to get the ad up and going.
Reach out with any questions or specific picture requests.

 

These pics are from a few years ago and show her with Mud Terrains, she currently has all terrains on.

 

An album of current pictures can be found here:

I will post a few slightly smaller images in the thread for easy viewing, but there are way more in the album linked above

The album contains a bunch of pictures of the undercarriage too, so you should have a good idea of how she looks.

 

All these pictures were taken in the bright SoCal sun, she likes to shine!



















NOTE! KNN intake has been removed for smog purposes. Stock intake reinstalled.

So when you say bilsteins set to level what setting are you referring to? .85 or 1.75? The suspension on the rear stock?

 

Suspension on the rear is stock (ready for a free leaf spring replacement as soon as Toyota gets the replacements in for the TSB). I am not sure exactly where the front is set. They were in this position when I bought it and I never adjusted it. Does that help?

 

Yes, thanks.

 

What's it going to take to sell this truck in the next two weeks??

 

Is anyone remotely interested in this truck? Let me know!

bump! Betty needs a new home, and I need a Land Cruiser that can hold a baby seat!

 

bump bump bump, someone make me an offer!

 

Interested.. however you live far far away from me, and I don't know when I would be able to travel.

 

Show Low is not that far! Heck I could probably even meet you in Phoenix if we can time it right. I'm looking for a replacement vehicle and Phoenix has a few to offer.

 

Haha it is when you have one day off every couple weeks! Are you pretty solid on the price?

Registration just renewed and good for a whole year in California. SMOG due in 2 years.

 

Someone had asked about rust on the frame. There is none. Here is a video of the engine mounts and more of the under frame
