    Can someone tell me more about the body of my truck. I bought it used, they told me wrong motor off the bat, so who the f knows. Pre Runner, DLX, WTF? I do know it is 4X4, 3rz motor, and someone tell me about the trans, body, etc. Assuming it is all original that is. I know this is a total newbie question.

    Lol that mileage was when it was in for a service hu?
    Yore not a pre runner, i see locking hubs, so youre 4x4. Other than that we cant tell you anything else by just looking at a pic of the outside of your truck...as far as the trans it will either be a 5 speed or an auto, quite obvious there......what else in specific you need to know? Or did you already find everything you needed.
