    Had a low blood sugar issue last week and passed out while driving. Woke up suspended in my overturned truck. Bottom line is it was totaled and i am in the market for a new-to-me truck.
    Unfortunately 4.0L, 4wd, access cabs are like chickens teeth. Having a little trouble finding one
    Ive spent most of my waking hours goggling to find one . Any of you got any leads. For one within approx 150 miles from fayetteville arkansas

    Random stuff. Oh! and converted to non ADD 4x4.
    Run the vin, some douchebags are installing low mileage dashboards on high mileage trucks. Careful.

    Thanks for all the comments. I found and bought a new-to-me tacoma. Thing is i bought it in the daytime. When i opened both doors tonight no light came on. Is there a toggle to keep them from coming on or do i need to get a toyota mechanic involved, bought an extended warranty so just out the time

    Most vehicles have a ''blackout'' position on the light switch at the OH light.

    Yeah, duh! “Found” the overhead light with switches. Now works.
    The “new” truck is a 2013, 4wd, 4.0L. Shows 102000 miles vs the 40k on the wrecked one. Interestingly, after two frontend alignments on the old truck, by proven mechanics, the truck “wandered” on the road; the “new” truck holds the road real. Go figure.
    Thanks for all help
