    Vehicle:
    04 Red TRD Off Road - XtraCab - 6 cyl - Manual
    For Sale: 2004 TRD OffRoad M/T. 176k with BedCap.
    Location: Rosendale NY 12472 (the Hudson Valley)

    Went to test out a suspicious spot on my 04’s frame and found that the frame in the rear passenger side has rotted from the inside out.

    Everything else is in great shape. I am the 3rd owner. The 2nd owner had the truck for the majority of its life and kept meticulous notes, which I have.

    Truck has:
    176,xxx Miles
    Manual Trans
    New Rear Differential from East Coast Gear Supply
    New Rear Differential Cover
    New Rear Leaf Springs, Shocks and Shackles
    New Downstream O2 sensor
    New Valve Cover Gasket
    New Trans Case Fluid
    New Front Stabilizer Bushing
    New Drive Belts
    New Rear Passenger Wheel Bearing
    All new belts

    White Bed Cap - the rear window does not lock
    Drop-in Bed Liner
    Tires are in great shape
    Clutch is in good shape. Every things shifts well. Engine is in great shape - oil has been changed religiously (I have all of the records).

    The known issues are:
    Frame rot over rear passenger tire
    A/C expansion valve needs to be replaced but A/C still blows cold most of the time
    I smoked two cigars in it Pick up required. At the moment, I’m not interested in parting it out.

    Also, I’ve hammered everywhere else on the frame. This was the only spot the hammer went through.

    There is one dent on the driver side rocker panel. You can kind of see it in the picture. If you’d like, I can upload a detailed picture tomorrow.

    The clear coat is a peeling in one place. Its been that way long before I bought it. I havent seen rust on the body but I will look with more detail tomorrow and post pics of what I see.

    A few, mainly added skids. I like leaving the suspension alone. I drive forest service dirt roafs in the desert west extremely extremely too fast. Toyota nailed this suspension going 65 across desert terrain. Changing it is dumb unless you have a specific need like crawling or mud.
    Nice truck, great price. A tad far for me.

    Man I really wish I had room for a spare truck.

    If you do decide to part out, put me on the list for the bed!

    Not sure if I’m blind but I’m only an hour or so from you. What’s the price?

    A friend of mind offered to fix it for me. I'm keeping it for the moment. But I may put it up for sale again after the frame is fixed.
