95.5 Single Cab, SLC, Utah SOLD

Thanks for looking at my 95.5 Tacoma!

This little truck runs fantastic and is super reliable. It will easily do 80 on the freeway and get 22 mpg. The truck is from Arizona and has no rust (has been in Utah since June 2020). It is a fun reliable little ride that will go anywhere you point it. The truck has an impressive list of modifications and upgrades that make it unstoppable, both on and off road.

I purchased this truck a couple of summers ago in Arizona with a blown head gasket. It started out as a fun little project for me that soon became my favorite daily driver. I have rebuilt or replaced almost everything in order to make this truck as reliable as possible.

These little trucks are getting harder and harder to find in good shape with reasonable miles. This one may have some cosmetic issues, but it really shines where it matters! I would love to keep it, but I need a tow rig, and that is one of the few things this little guy just won’t do. I have already put in the hard work for you to enjoy for a long time to come!

I am asking $9500.

Of course, I like cash, come see it in person before you make an offer, no trades, text is best, what code?, etc.

Thanks for looking, and please read the full ad!

The Bad;

- Needs a windshield

- Upper interior door trim has a couple holes from an old stereo installation

- AC idler pulley seized this winter, so I have removed it and the belt. New parts come with the truck but will need to be installed.

- AC will need to be charged.

- No skid plates. Never had them when I bought it and I haven’t found a nice set.

- The fuel gauge doesn’t read correctly, runs out at about a half tank on the gauge

- The speedometer can be a little sticky (new cable did not fix it)

- Rear license plate light needs to be wired, it is included


The Ugly;

- The bed side next to the driver’s door is crumpled, it was like this when I bought it, it doesn’t affect the way the truck works, it’s just not pretty.

- Has some magnets that hold the fuel door closed, it works, and it was like that when I got it.

- Paint is scratched, chipped and faded. In AZ we don’t get rust, instead we get paint problems. Again, it doesn’t hurt the way the truck runs, it’s just not pretty.

- Could use seat covers, the driver’s seat is starting to show some wear. (will need to be 4Runner covers, or possibly leather if one were to want that)

- A few other cosmetic things could use an update, I was very focused on the functioning parts of the truck when I built it, and figured the small stuff would come later.

 

More pickshas...

 

Clean truck, OP! Can you post a few more pics of the under-carriage? Interested in front end bits and main frame rails.

Cheers!

 

For sure.

 

Also, the bed side that is crumpled.

 

Thank you!

 

Its is with great sadness that I announce that the truck has been SOLD.

Thanks all for your interest.

 

Regret yet?
