First time Yota owner 1999 model

Well I finally found me a little 1999 4x4 ext cab toyota. I have been looking for one after missing some good local deals I snagged this original owner Dallas Texas truck for 5k even . 168k miles . Super clean besides some hail damage that's not to noticeable , frame super clean no rust .

Was this is a good deal ?

Just wanted to so day hi and get some feedback if I made a good purchase , will be used as daily driver /hunting rig so I can park ny diesel and save miles on it.

Wondering what manual tranny fluid everyone uses and how much , same goes for diffs also . Thanks everyone and merry Christmas

 

very good deal i'd say. Welcome. I have the same truck supercharged

 

Thank you sir , I just found this site a couple weeks ago, pretty good site . Only problem is I spend to much time searching it haha

 

Welcome! Nice truck and a good deal. You'll never be the same again... Ask me how I know.

 

That's quite the deal! Was the frame replaced under the recall? That seems way too rust-free

 

Awesome! I got my 98 2wd auto 4cyl for nearly 5k. Killer deal

 

Definitely a good deal if I may say

 

Thanks guys , glad to know I didn't make a bad purchase . I'm not sure if it was replaced , the guy didn't mention it . Been used on the highway back and fourth to a farm . Has receipts for cam seal water pump ad timing belts done at dealer at 93k miles and that's all I see . He's been running synthetic always . When should I change the belt and pump again ?

 

Many people recommend you change the timing belt/water pump every 90k, so therefore at 180k you'd be due again.

 

Good to know I'll plan to do it then . I'm hoping to get plenty more miles out of this truck hopefully

 

Keep up on the maintenance, and our trucks will keep going for well over 250-300k!

 

Plugs ,wires , water pump , timing belts , anything else critical

 

Oil changes and oil and air filters as well, but I assume you knew of those already

 

That is a fantastic price. Those trucks are very hard to find in that condition with low miles like yours. Congrats.

 

Great deal, nice truck.
