    2001 RC SR5 4x4 5-speed! :drool:

    It is presently awaiting service at Thompson Toyota. The inspection stickers expire in March 2025, and there is a note on the steering warning that the truck has no brakes, so I think those tow things have something to do with why an otherwise decent truck is at the dealership…

    That happened to my truck, but it prevented the truck from moving rather causing the brakes to fail while I was driving…

    Yeah usually when they fail you pretty much lose your brakes.

    I mean he’d been working at the Toyota dealer for many years and had never seen a Tacoma master cylinder fail in that way…

    I met the owner of this 1997 AC LX while getting gas on Sunday, and we got to talking. The truck has the 2.7L and automatic transmission, with only 90K miles! The owner inherited the truck from his late father, who bought the truck new and declined the buyback offer when the frames were recalled. The owner has had a constant battle with nature in regards to staving off rust, and told me that the bed has been off three times (see pics below)! In spite of the rust issues, the truck is in 100% working order with cold A/C and no mechanical issues!
