    Blue LED lights in gauge cluster and dash to match radio
    Aftermarket Pioneer radio with Bluetooth
    Rubber floor mats

    Other:
    Auxiliary transmission fluid cooler installed for towing
    Oil changed every 5,000 miles with Mobile 1 High Mileage 5w-30 synthetic & Toyota oil filter
    Transmission fluid serviced
    Fuel tank replaced in 2019 to fix a leak in the emissions system
    Grey wire mod

    Brand new parts included with the truck:
    ALL parts needed to do a timing belt and water pump service on the truck. Literally everything - Toyota FIPG, radiator hoses, even the Toyota sticker used to record the date/mileage of the service. Only additional thing needed is Toyota LongLife red Coolant.
    ALL parts needed to replace the valve cover gaskets. Cam seals, spark plug grommets, anything that can be replaced is included.
    Toyota oil filter and Wix air filter.
    Spicer carrier bearing for the driveshaft.

    Timing belt and water pump have been changed in the past at unknown mileage, but will need done again around 180k miles. Softopper bed cover is not included. This is the first winter I have driven in the salt with this truck and it was sitting until the beginning of February. I was in an accident in November and the truck was totaled by the insurance company. I replaced the passenger front door and fender and some suspension/steering parts. It has had the enhanced inspection and passed easily. I have the title in hand, but it is now a reconstructed "R" title.

    If I keep the truck I will be doing a few cosmetic things and asking more money for it. Things on the list include; have the pinstripe removed from the replaced door/fender, reinstall the passenger door window/vent visor, spray the undercarriage with Woolwax, and have the interior/exterior completely detailed.

    I'm looking to sell to get into a 2007 or newer 4 door Tundra with the 5.7. I might also consider a 4 door 3rd gen Dodge ram 1500/2500. Must be 5.7 Hemi or 5.9 Cummins, preferably a manual. I might be interested in other cars/trucks too so if you have something I might like let me know - worst I can do is say no. I can work a deal for a trade plus cash on either end if needed.

    I planned on keeping this truck forever but I now want something with more towing capacity. I'm pretty firm on the price. It comes with close to $1,000 in extra OEM parts

    If you could post pics before you fixed it from the accident, that would help.

    Solid truck. Worth more in the Colorado market.

    Where in PA are you located?

    I’m about 1 hour east of Pittsburgh. Having driven an old ‘84 Toyota from Denver back home I can tell you it’s about 23 hours and right at 1,500 miles hahaha

    Just want to confirm that the accident occurred after the frame swap?


    What all was entailed with fixing the truck after the acccident? And did a frame shop confirm that the frame is straight post accident?

    The Toyota frame replacement happened in April 2016.

    Accident happened in November 2020.

    As far as body panels, I replaced the passenger front fender and passenger front door. There is also some damage on the passenger rear door, front bumper, and on both fender flairs on that side. These damages are pretty small and only cosmetic.

    Underneath, I replaced the inner and outer tie rods on the passenger side including the boot. This was all that needed to be replaced from the damages in the accident. I also installed new OEM lower ball joints and poly steering rack bushings both of which I had on my parts pile already.

    Both a frame shop and alignment guy said everything’s in spec. The SPC UCAs even allowed stock caster/camber specs.

    I’m really only trying to sell this taco because while this one was down, I bought another first gen and my DD BMW broke down. I don’t need 2 tacos and I want something capable of towing my cargo trailer and camper. Also having to get towed a few times in a couple months made me realize the value of having a good tow rig.

    Let me know if you have any more questions.

    If you end up deciding to part out before selling, LMK as I'm on East Coast too.
