    picked this up for $9500. its an 01 5 speed with 96k miles. thought it was a pretty good deal so i jumped on it. anyway i used to be all about cummins and diesel trucks but after lurkin around here i decided to get a tacoma since i sold my previous cummins and join the fun here.

    here she is, not sure what i wanna do with it yet but it needs a rear bumper and tailgate
