    Yeah single stage on these trucks (all solid colors) will but back to a shine easily. Wax will help keep it from oxidation as quickly

    I've probably laid on my back with a power washer 50 times but never waxed it before. Made a huge difference. Thanks!

    Can't take the snorkel off....haha

    I know what you mean though. I'll give it awhile first. This honestly might be the truck someone is trying to build anyway. All they need to do is ARB lockers, re-gear (same time as lockers because what not!?!), and sliders and you have one hell of a rig.

    I know someone mentioned it earlier, here in California you'd probably have no problem selling it all. You've got a sweet truck. GLWS

    My brother bought his '95 ext cab 3.4l 200k miles with a sun roof up here in central jersey for $3500 from my neighbor, a couple guys were saying they were willing to pay him $4000-$4500 but that was after my brother got it lol. I would think you could get around $5k for it honestly after having seen it in person lol but that might be kind of optimistic, glws

    I sold my 95.5 5 lugger ext cab in miami for 4k no problem, guy came in, took it no questions. I purchsed my reg cab all manual with 160k in st lucie for 5k and I also bought it no questions asked. Just trying to put things in perspective, I atleast had trouble finding a 99 reg cab 4wd, it was the only one for sale anywhere, since south fl doesnt require much 4wd, less trucks were available with these options. Everyone has pre runners with lifts, I was the only 4wd down there till i moved to north central fl. A lot more 4wd for sale but still over priced. I would pay up to 6k for that rig no problem, considering the look and the parts. Go on fl craigslist, you see 2002 extra cabs woth over 250k selling for 8k lmao!

    your best bet is california where that truck would easily sell for more than the $3-5000 being bandied about in the rest of the country.

    Jim - thanks for the insight and your honest. I'd be curious what you think your truck is worth?

    honestly couldn't tell you lol, insurance gave me like 7000 when it was totaled if that means anything :notsure: but I have an sr5, manual everything, and a 4 cylinder. Not to mention its had a motor swapped into it at 150k and it was totaled, so really its probably not worth much to anyone but me lol, I think I could probably get around $6-7k if I found the right guy but again I don't really know how to price it out, just kinda what I think. Your truck is really a great looking truck, Id consider a reg cab myself for a trail truck if I had some cash lying around because Id love the shorter wheelbase. I think it comes down to finding the right buyer really and not someone who's just trying to flip it or looking for a grocery getter.

    There is 50 photos from a couple days ago in my albums (as stated several times in this thread) bunch of frame, interior, motor, more exterior, etc. I just didn't put them all in this thread because it's too much to scroll through.

    Again, if anyone wants more or specific photos let me know.


    P.S. - this thread is dead now as it's listed on the For Sale section.


    THANKS!!!!
