FS: 2005 Tacoma Base Standard Cab 4x4 - Vandergrift PA $9900

danteisme · Jun 27, 2016

Up for sale is my 2005 Toyota Tacoma standard cab 4x4. I purchased the vehicle at 38,900 miles and I can honestly say i really cannot tell a difference in how anything on the truck acts now compared to when i first bought it, I would not hesitate to drive this thing across the country. I would actually have kept it and drove it until the wheels fell off if I did not need something with more interior room. I purchased a double cab tacoma and i cannot keep both, i dont have the room. Here are the stats:

145,400 ish miles ( will go up some, I try to drive it a couple of times a week)
5 speed manual - clutch still feels great, no issues.
2.7 4 cylinder motor - not a single issue ever. runs perfect, no smoking etc....
Averaging about 21.5 mpg mixed driving, I've seen as good as 25 mpg. It will dip into the teens in the winter time.
4.10 gears
Bench seat

Modifications:
AFE dry air filter
Bed lined fender flares, front and rear bumper (fenders were faded and i did not like the look of them)
Added Toyota OEM cruise control, delay wipers, and fog lights and fog light switch.
Painted stock steel wheels (need repainted, but i've decided not to repaint them in case the new owner does not like it)
Yellow film and bulbs added to the fog lights
Black Headlight Mod
Paint matched grill
Bug guard
Aftermarket hitch and trailer harness
Receiver with d-ring
Bilstein adjustable front shocks
Professionally tinted windows (30% on the sides, 20% on the rear)

Maintenance:
Oil changed every 5K with mobil one 5w30 synthetic
Spark plugs replaced at 75K miles with oem ngk plugs (will need changed again around 160K miles)
Differentials, Transfer Case, and Transmission fluid changed every 30K with mobil one synthetic gear oil (will need changed in the next 6000 miles or so if new owner chooses to keep that schedule)
U-joints greased every oil change
New front rotors
Cleaned rear drums and shoes
6 month old battery
New sway bar endlinks
New monroe rear shocks
New frame, new frame bolts, new brake lines, new fuel lines, new cab back wire harness, new lower control arms. In addition to the recall items, I also had the fuel tank straps replaced, the steering shaft u-joint, and the upper control arms and ball joints were replaced with used low mileage replacements. Also as part of the frame recall because the entire truck is disassembled, freshly charged A/C system and coolant system. ( I have the receipt for this work, near 13 grand in recall work from what i was told).
As soon as the frame recall was completed, i installed the Toyota frame plug kit and coated the entire underside of the truck and frame with 2 healthy coats of fluid film.

Negatives:
Truck has some rock chips in the paint ( i have a bottle of touch up paint for the new owner)
Windshield has 2 small rock chips that have not grown in the last 5 years and they do not affect inspections.
Some scratches in the composite bed (i used this as a truck)
Small dent next to the driver's door where i tried using the truck to break my fall during the winter...it didnt work.
Small oil leak at the valve cover gasket. i have the part, i just dont have the time right now to replace it. New gasket kit goes with the new owner.
There is a hum coming from the tires, i think it is due to some cupping with tread. I checked for wheel bearing play and there was none. (Wheel bearings replaced at 75K)
Tires will need replaced before winter. There is tread on them, but not something i would want to run in the snow. they are a half size bigger than the stock tires (265 70 16 vs 245 75 16)

I'm sure i'm forgetting something, i'll update as i need to. I'm in no hurry to sell this truck, to be honest i will miss it. If i get the asking price, i have some extra goodies that i will throw in with the truck free of charge. Price I'm looking for is $9,900.00.
