    Put a tent on it... BOOOM! #OVERLANDASF%^&!

    $16,000

    Morgan Hill, CA -- (Bay area)

    2008 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 Access Cab 2.7L, w/ Old Man Emu 2" Suspension lift and Dakar, Doug Thorley Tri-Y C.A.R.B. legal Header, upgraded clutch and shifter, TRD wheels with A/T Tires.

    Meticulous with all maintenance and used synthetic oil exclusively. Everything has been maintained per the factory recommendations. Please see all of the detailed specs below.

    --2.7L 4 cylinder engine
    --5 speed manual transmission (unless you're a chicken...)
    --139,xxx miles
    --Power windows, power locks, cruise control, tow package, sliding rear window, keyless entry with 2 keys and remotes
    --The exterior of this car is in great condition but has the typical rock chip here and there as is to be expected. The frame looks great with no rust. Previous owner was in Utah, The dry desert is nice on steel.

    UPGRADES:

    --Old Man Emu Full Suspension System with 5 leaf Dakar rear springs, Old Man Emu front coil-over Springs, and shocks. 2" Lift over stock Tacoma.

    --TRD Forged wheels

    --Cooper Discoverer ATP tires 31".

    --Doug Thorley Tri-Y C.A.R.B. legal Header (This really adds to the drivability of the 2.7L. It lowers the RPMs for maximal torque to help with cruising and just makes the 2.7L really shine. I will include the factory header as well.)

    --LC Engineering Pro Clutch Kit (This was replaced at 110,000 miles. The factory clutch was fine, but this clutch has way better feel while still being very drivable.)

    --URD short throw shifter (This kit makes shifts much quicker and precise.)

    --Pioneer AVHX2600 BT receiver with upgraded speakers (can’t remember the brand, but it sounds good) Comes with hands-free speaker that connects via Bluetooth to your phone. This works very well.

    --Soft tonneau cover & high density rubber Toyota bed mat.

    Overall, the truck is in fantastic condition. I recently upgraded to a 2014 Tacoma w/ a V6, so this one is ready to move on to the next loving owner. Truck deserves to go to a home that will take it out on the trails and use it like a real truck! Its previous owners were rock climbers and we're hikers, bikers, and campers... the truck want to be outside!

    holler if you have questions. Please pass along to that buddy of yours who has been saying they are "gunna buy a Tacoma one of these days..."

    Wow I very much like your truck! I'm in the market for my first Tacoma and this is really close to what I'm looking for.

    Couple questions, any idea what your gas mileage is like after the 2" lift? Second, being a rock climber I'll naturally want to sleep in the truck bed-- can you confirm it's the regular size (6'1") bed?
