    After 6 years I finally managed to get my dream truck!

    2001 4 banger xtracab 4x4 manual sr5 with only 74k miles!

    All the hard work, discipline, saving money and being patient...paid off big time. Unreal feeling. It’s like indescribable. I’m buzzing.

    In love with this sturdy and tight truck. Drives beautifully on the highway. Shifts smoothly and clutch is nice and sensitive. No rattle or shake, 4x4 works perfectly, 4hi and lo.

    Tell me what I should do with it! Driving it across country this March, then possibly up to Alaska in the summer.
