Did he say type of maintenance and stuff that was needed?

My uncles 1st gen died after 549K miles and he replaced with 2nd gen. Original everything.

Update!
Richard is indeed the real deal and he responded to my email.

Here are his pics and response via email:

"Hello Christian, thank you so much for your quick response to my posting. I really appreciate it. Here are three pictures of my vehicle, including the odometer. As you can see I have unrepaired collision damage partly due to an encounter with an unlicensed driver a few months ago and I have not been purchasing collision insurance for a couple of years due to the low Blue Book value of my vehicle. So I would like to get it fixed up enough to be able to turn it over to a local dealership for a Showcase of a high mileage vehicle. We could discuss this situation, you can call me at 714-***-**** or send a text. Thank you again for your attention and let's keep in touch.

If anyone wants to help him out, let me know as it doesn't appear he checks back here often.

Tip of the hat.

It shouldn't be too hard to find some old body parts for that truck cheap. Hope this works out for him.

@Tenaya Laker you can set up an email alert for local junk yards to alert you when one comes in on https://row52.com/Marketplace/PartsSearch?SearchType=false

I think he should turn it in just the way it is, maybe rip the front bumper off, i would rather see that truck beat up with a million miles than perfect with replacement parts looks more like it actually whent 1,000,000 miles

Me too.

Very impressive OP.

GreekPEguy · Nov 30, 2016

Leave it the way it is. Better to have it look like it went through the riggers of a million miles. Gives it character and shows how it's one tuff SOB.

Nice he finally replied to a thread.

jaunty · Dec 1, 2016

When going to sell it after the rollover, I'd have a hard time trying to tell the truth when the prospective buyer asks "is it actually 50k miles?".

frizzman · Dec 1, 2016

one thing to consider, with that many miles per year, maybe he just works to dam much to frequent TW

also considering this is the 4 cyl, there is a sales pitch for Toyota

I want to see this news story.

chaosrob · Dec 1, 2016

Sad thingis it still looks better than my 95.5 when I bought it AND it still runs lol. Congrats OP

This thread is further proof that poverty spec and black gauges matter

Why wouldn't he just post up his own response?

I think as history has shown, OP posts once, and leaves.

A member here further wanted to follow up and thus emailed, and OP emailed him back, which he posted.

Maybe OP doesn't care about us, or he is too busy ACTUALLY DRIVING ?

Kinda takes the validity out of it for me to post the way he did. You truly want help? Then follow up.

Is it just me or do I like the black gauges? My '98 PreRunner came with black gauges and a tach and I think it looks great. I always thought the white gauges were kind of tacky. The black blends in with the trim and other things, the white is just out of place.
