got myself a 05 double cab

i had a 10 reg cab but i was disappointed in its lack of power. so i looked around and found a high millage double cab trd sport. it has 150000 on it. but i love the power and the added room, now when i go places with my parents and gf we can all go in my truck. we used to take 2 cars. i also love the power windows, power locks, bucket seats and the outside temp gauge (ahhh the little things in life that i love). i got a pretty good deal, i was able to lessen my payments by one year and lower them by 10$ a month. they also "gave me" what i paid for for my 10 reg cab. i was also able to take most of all my mods to my reg cab. my kenwood deck, wet okoles, mag lite, tool box, ultra gauge, and weather tech all season mats.

i am happy with my purchase, even though the high millage it runs like a new car.


here are some pics

p.s keep all your "you made a mistake" comments to yourself. i am looking forward to modding this baby . . . . or should i say grandpa





day i brought it home


first mods were painting badges black and adding toy yoda decal.

 

Nice truck! Even with the miles, I think you made a good choice...

 

nice! wish i could do that haha. but with gas prices going^ i think i will just stick with the wimpy 4 banger. haha

 

Great find! These trucks will run forever, take care of them and it will give you another 150,000 miles!

 

thanks. the only thung wrong with it is there seems to be something loose by the window. whenever i have it down all the way there is a rattle sound. but if i roll thewindow up a little the rattling goes away.

 

Black nice choice!

 

looks good man ....even kept the toy yoda sticker

 

Looks like a good deal to me. Just bought a 2005 myself with 122K on it.

 

Ya I had to get myself a new yoda decal lol.

 

i plan on putting bilsteins up front and putting them up to 1.75". so will i just need a 1" leaf in the back? and since the truck has 150000 miles on it should i replace the rear shocks to?

 

I got mine March 1st and love it. I was just a bit over your sticker price with 68k miles.

 

I just put 5100s up front at 1.75 and it sits almost level with no aal or tsb the rear is still about 1/2 inch higher. I will be doing the rears with an aal then set the fronts to 2.5....it looks more level when its not on a hill

 

annnnnnnnd you plasti dipped your rims!

were they hard to do. im thinking of just buying the fronts for now and then when i have more money buy some aal and rears

trucks looking good though.

 

no plasti dip i spray painted them it was easy. yeah I just did the fronts too I will do the rears soon

 

how hard were the bilsteins to install?

 

not too bad nightstr helped you def wanna use air tools ...when you get them let me know ill give you a hand

 

ok sounds good. ride quality any better?

 

alot better and when you do just the fronts at 1.75 no more lean .....
