2003 Tacoma, $6000 OBO, Oley Pennsylvania

$6000 "OBO". 2003 Toyota Tacoma SR5 4door 4x4 3.4L V6, includes ARI cap and brush guard. 219,740 miles. Runs well. Brakes, signals, lights, suspension all passable. NO INSPECTION. Being sold AS IS, due to rust in frame that needs welding work to pass inspection. LOCAL sale, no delivery/shipping. Most recent inspection expired Dec. 2023. 4WD functions. AC does not. Clean title in my name. Frame recall was done before I purchased it in 2016. I have maintained it personally, replacing many things including: #4 struts and 2 front upper control arms; brake calipers and disks; steering rack; ball joints; tie rod ends; AC compressor (as noted not functional presently); gas tank; exhaust; replaced rusty bed with gently used one repainted to match red; and maybe a few more things I'm forgetting. Rocker panels were rusted out so in 2019 I cut and replaced with new sheet metal and body filler; this repair is rusting open once more. Well loved. Plenty more life in it, I just don't want to dabble further in frame welding subject.

 

Any pics of the frame repair that needs to be completed?

 

That's a difficult thing to photograph well. Better experienced in person. I see you're in Texas. You'd need to be pretty committed to come up to Pennsylvania for this thing. I'm gonna guess there's ones with less rust down there for you.
