    I'm looking to purchase a tacoma 2000 but it seems to have something wrong with the bed vertical alignment (see the pictures) with respect to the cab.
    Anyone has seen that before? And knows why it happens to be like this..?
    The differents shades of beige make me think that the bed may not be not the original...

    You check carfax for any reported accidents? I'd be careful with that one.

    That truck has been wrecked and put back together by someone who takes no pride in their work.

    it could be uneven mounts and spacers, possibly bent frame

    I agree with above, most likely,
    1. Frame rust 1st gen. very common problem
    2. Poorly repaired accident ***(paint tones don't match from the pictures)
    3. Bed or cab mounts rusted and sagging

    I wouldn't recommend buying it. IMO

    I like how they taped off around the TRD decal and painted around it with a different color :rofl:
    I'd pass on it.

    Looks like we got the sequel to 50 Shades. Behold, 50 Shades of Tan.

    Yeah I wouldn't buy that hooptie.
