    definately!


    seriously though i guarantee it wouldnt hurt for you to call miller toyota in va and explain whats going on and everything and see what they say...if you can break the lease and not even involve harrelson and willing to make that drive...that truck looks well worth it


    if he's willing to work with you maybe joedirt would be awesome enough to even go by there and check the truck out...give it a little test drive...make sure everything is functioning correctly etc

    if i dont find one around here a little closer.....i may do just that.

    what im figuring with the lease.........its not thru toyota....its thru us bank......so im pretty sure i can go with whichever dealer i choose. im pretty sure thats how it works anyway.

    it never hurts to ask

    the biggest hurdle i found when searching for my truck was the overabundance of prerunners and a lack of 4x4

    either they just didnt sell well down here or people are holding onto them

    yeah.....i have found a few prerunners.....but the 4x4 is iffy around here right now.....especially a trd with the locker. i know i can get a 4x4 without the locker.....but i'd rather get it with,then spend said money on a lift and sliders.

    they do have a 04 double cab 4x4 trd v6 auto at harrelson right now,silver, but the salesman said it wasnt their stock, so he's supposed to call and let me know whats up with it tomorrow.

    I didn't see any that hadn't already been posted or had good miles on them.


    Down here you see maybe 1 4x4 for every 10 Prerunners.

    I have heard it is more cost effective to get a ARB Air locker than to try and get a TRD e-locker in there.

    Plus with the ARB ($800 I think???) you also have onboard air and can air up/down without carrying around a compressor.
