1999 Tacoma Xtra cab 4x4 TRD

Cruiserkev has gone cruiser crazy. I'm selling my beloved Taco of nearly 16 years to fund my $pendy Land Cruiser addiction. I am only advertising it here as I really do want it to go to someone who appreciates these amazing trucks.

I bought this truck in 2002 for $22k with only 18k miles. I'm the 2ND owner, it was a flower shop delivery truck in its past life. I used it as my daily driver and construction work truck for over a decade. Then only used it once a month or so for errands the last few years. It has a few scratches and small dents but still looks and drives great. Very capable off road, it easily keeps up with my FJ40. I get a ton of compliments on the Mystic Purple Mica factory paint.

WA state truck that has always been garaged.
V6, automatic, 4wd with the E locker in the rear.
Power windows, cruise control and air conditioning.
6 disc CD changer, cassette, AM/FM toyota stereo.
No one has ever smoked in this truck.
2 small holes in the interior cloth but is in good shape.
As of today it has 157050 miles.
No rust on frame or body. Factory bed liner.
Clean title with no accidents.
Original spare tire is underneath, never used.
Everything works except the ABS system.

2.5 inch Rough Country lift,
33x12.50 Procomp X terrains with 75% tread remaining.
Black stock aluminum rims with 1.25 spider Trax wheel spacers.
Rear shocks replaced.
Custom bed rack that holds a hi lift jack and shovel.
Bug and rain guards.
LED driving lights.

Toyota genuine parts always used on repairs.
Water pump and timing belt were replaced at 107k miles.
Spark plugs, plug wires and starter rebuilt at 113k miles.
Transmission was completely rebuilt at 136k miles.
Oil changes regularly using only synthetic.
Tires balanced, gas cap replaced last year.
Within the last 12 months the battery, air filter and fuel filter were replaced.
All brakes shoes/pads were replaced this past August.

Within the last month, there has been a low whine coming from the transmission so I have not been driving it much. I was told here on TW my torque converter is doing this and will eventually need to be replaced. So far there is no loss of performance, slippage or shudder and it will still do 90mph on the freeway when needed .
It could also benefit from doing the steering rack guide modification as the rack is original and there is a slight shimmy at around 50 MPH that goes away at 55. No leaks though.

Other than these couple of issues, it's still in great shape for an 18 year old truck.

$7000 cash OBO. Located for pick up in Lakewood WA, 98499.

Dang it! Just bought my first gen with 30k more miles for about the same price about a month ago. I'm just a couple hours north of you too. Good looking truck for a good price in these parts. GLWS!

 

Thanks man. Good luck with your new Taco.

 

Bump. Get it before I come to my senses and keep it for another decade.

 

Just keep it! Lol I just came in because I noticed the color. I have *almost* the exact same truck, except mine is a 5-speed and has about 50k more miles on it.

 

Love the purple, especially right after its washed. Wish I could keep it but I currently have 5 vehicles and only enough driveway to park 4. Neighbors already call it the used car lot over here.

 

It's definitely unique. But I know the feeling, I used to have too many project cars/bikes in my backyard, so it was more of a junkyard than a used car lot. Well, good luck with the sale.

 

Sold. Going to miss it!

 

Man im a few years late lol, im on the hunt for a clean Mystic Purple Mica

 

Wow this is an amazing truck dude!

 

i forgot about the purple color, nice truck

 

Don’t see that color often, nice ride wish you were on the east coast!
