    Well after much looking around i finally found my Taco.

    This is my first truck. My other car i am keeping. It's a 2000 audi s4 twin turbo stage 2.5. I love the car, but maintenance sucks, parts are $ and its not the most reliable thing. But, its fast and paid off so i'm going to keep it for now.

    07 4x4 with 140k miles for 11,300! has a decent amount of scratches but its not abused. Also came with a matching SB bed shell but i took it off as soon as I got home, hated the looks of it on the truck.

    Pros- its a 4x4 AC taco? duh. came with a camper shell, seat covers, black/grey interior, trd off road, and sr5 package

    Cons- needs new tires, decent bit of scratches, needs new tires, and the 12v outlets and the compass/temp do not work. Owners said he tried changing the fuse and it didn't fix it and he didn't bother with it any more then that...

    My plans are leveling it out, cleaning out/black out the head lights, hatoshi (sp?) grill, paint lower valence/wheels/rear bumper black, s2000 antenna, debadge rear and some new tires at the end of the summer.

    Sounds like a good deal, if it was taken care of properly it should go another 140,000. Looks like new tires should be at the top of the list haha. Sell the cap and buy tires, you might even be able to find a buyer somewhat local on this site.

    I like my duratracs, but if i was to go with something a little less aggressive i would probably get the toyo open country AT2. I think another good option for all terrains that will mostly be used on road are firestone destination AT, pretty cheap also, and sometimes firestone has good deals

    The fix for the compass/temp gauge is really easy to do, just need a soldering iron. Search here or Google for instructions. I dig the color... but I might be biased.

    Excellent price! I paid almost $19K for the same truck last year (only 60K miles). Mine has Michelin LTX AT2. They're a great all around tire and they last forever.
