    Well there's actually some history in there, might be worth buying it. 44 records

    There aren’t any pictures on the ad is my problem. I texted him and he said he’d get em Monday so I guess we’ll see.

    You said they don’t have as big of problem with rusty frames ya?

    And it’s got like 198k which kinda sucks...

    They're pretty safe. So safe they put 8 ton of weight, or a little over 16,000 pounds on a 5,000 pound rated lift.

    Nah they get some surface rust but that's about it if you take care if them half decently.

    I registered it on Toyota owners but it hasn't been dealer serviced cause there are no records, but here's the spec sheet the VIN turns up, no lockers...

    Also this made me laugh...

    That's hilarious. When I searched up my VIN in their database last year, that same exact review popped up. Surprised Toyota hasn't done anything about it.

    It's worth it, baselining and owning them takes a bit of money and know how but it's well worth it. Also the center diff locker just turns it from all wheel drive to 4WD for when things get serious haha

    awd transfee case doesn’t split the power evenly. But the center diff lock splits it 50/50.
    I think thas how it works.

    You make it sound unappealing for college. Cause they get such great mileage anyway

    Buy a new 2 post for $2k. I love mine.

    I figure those of you that truly love wrenching on your will have a lift. The price of a set nice wheels and tires you can get a lift that you can use the rest of your life.

    You don't need a big shop to have one. My 800 sqft. is perfect.
