Hey TW. I’ve had this babe for about 5 years now. She’s been a real treat. Got me through the good and the bad. I always come home happy to see her sitting and waiting for her driver.

It pains me to say I am contemplating selling Mean Jeanine to a new owner. I don’t get to go out with her so much any more and would like to see her on many more adventures with someone new. I think it’s best for the both of us.

Priced at 13k, open to offers. I can post more pictures if I get some interest on here. Main features are a 6in lift and less than 6 months on the new Nitto's (Nitto Ridge Grapplers AT, best for off-roading about 32’’). Also had shocks changed front and back within last year. Transmission swapped (this one has about 80k miles) and clutch replaced, flywheel resurfaced at the same time. All Pro front bumper with KC spot lights. Rock sliders. Soft folding bed cover. 35’’ spare Toyo MT with rim (from last set of tires). Old man EMU heavy load leaf springs with 1in procomp lift blocks on rear axle.

Engine runs great. Spark plugs and ignition coils changed within last three years. Axle seals changed within last 6 months. I’ve probably spent $2-$3k in maintenance within last year. I just wanted to get her pristine.

I maxed my budget, that’s why the leak in the transfer case area hasn’t been figured out. If I were the new owner, I’d get the ball joints inspected and transfer case area. Maybe $1k in maintenance to get those fixed if needed and she’ll be good for a while. The driver side upper ball joint is welded on since it’s not Fabtech. Roof and exterior has peeling clear coat. Bush rash and scratches from trails. Only “bad” wreck was 3-4 years ago when I hit a pole and had to get the frame straightened out, radiators changed, new hood, headlights and side lights, and grill. There was a few times other drivers drove into the back of the bumper hitch receiver and wrecked their front ends (Mean Jeanine survived just fine).

Great truck. I spent nine months trying to find a good Tacoma and I sure did. She’s not a mall crawler. Great for good times and lasting memories. Ready to send her off to an amazing new owner.

Located in Sacramento CA.

 

got more photos?

 

Definitely interested in more photos/info. Looking for my first tacoma to take on many trips

 

I’am also in the market for a 1st gen Tacoma and would I like to see pics of the interior enigine bay and undercarriage if possible Thxs

 

good deal. Truck looks really good

 

Full shots

 

Interior boasts a JL (which I believe stands for JLAB, very well known) audio system with radiohead for aux, usb, and cd. I stuck a lumbar support in driver seat. I may or may not keep that depending on purchaser









Winch controls within vehicle. You'll get an outside remote plug-in as well



JL AUDIO

 

Old Man EMU Heavy Duty Leaf Springs. Bilstein 5100's for rear, just changed in last 6 months.

 

you sound like my ideal new owner. She’s quite the adventure and I think you’ll really enjoy as a first Tacoma.

 

I appreciate it - thanks for adding all the info and pics. I'm not in a rush right now, thinking about waiting until the fall to buy something. I'll definitely keep her in mind, though. Looks like a lot of fun.

 

yea no worries man, I’m not really in a hurry to sell. I’ll enjoy her a little while longer. Will probably post to Craigslist at end of week though, $12k. We’ll see if I get some hits

 

Didn’t get a chance for that engine bay pic. Tomorrow then

 

Engine bay



The battery was about $200. It has 3-4 years of warranty left.







This switch keeps the winch from blowing out when under too much tow weight.

I also have a cold air intake I can throw in if you’re into that sort of thing. Engine purrs much louder with it in.

 

Looks like something may have happened to the photos. Hit this https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1PO1B-vxA9KCskyDW_pj6b2QJh3RJp69O

 

Are the first images still viewable for you guys or are they gone?

 

haha ok I’ll work on them to get them back up

 

Hey all, I'm posting the truck to Craigslist. I won't be getting the images back up on here, it just takes too long to let each one upload. Check out the Google Drive link, it has the photos. But yea, last call for ya'll, for now at least. Looking to sell by end of week, have another car lined up and need the money from the truck. Email me eric.pristupa@gmail.com if interested, I don't always check TW. Thanks.

I happened across your CL ad. Is it just me or are your rear shocks mounted upside down?
