    I ended up seeing a few decent Toyotas when I was at the Quigley show, including this MGM 2012 DCLB TRD Sport...

    I thought this 2008 AC 5-lug was a 6-lug at first and was not going to take pictures, but then I realized it actually had 1st Gen 5-lug steel wheels (specifically 2001-2004); I do not often see 2nd Gens rolling on 1st Gen wheels, so I went over for a closer look. That closer look revealed that this truck is a potential diamond in the rough! It's a 5-speed and it has intermittent wipers (likely added); I don't know when they stopped making 2nd Gen access cabs with manual windows (2009...?), but this one also has manual windows! I did not look that closely, but I'm assuming it has A/C...

    It is in relatively rough condition as you can see in the pictures, including the frame (which appears to be original, and since this is a 2008, it's well out of the recall period), but it's still a pretty sweet truck in my opinion!

    The fronts don't clear the calipers without a bit of spacing

    It’s been rode hard and put up wet. But it’s still got a little life left in it.
    Nice find Charlie:thumbsup:

    My friend's dad has a 2.5 gen AC 5 lug, I could be wrong but pretty sure his is also crank windows.

    Those look similar or the same to the Rav4 wheels back then, think it's the same as my wife's 05 had
