    I have a line on a pretty sweet looking over cab. Dude is asking $2,250. Seems like a pretty good deal. It needs a little cosmetic work on the interior, but he says everything works perfectly, no water damage, and no structural damage.

    I have a 2017 SR5 V6 4X4, bone stock. I don't off-road for off-roading's sake. I do it to get to trail heads and fishing locations.

    Any of you fine folks have thoughts?

    From what I've seen, that's a really decent price.

    Ryan, that is exactly what I am looking for. Aluminum pop-up, no bathroom. Just gotta keep saving until I find the right deal.

    Crack about 1/3 the width of the ceiling, only through to the insulation. Water damage on the entire drive side, rear corner ceiling. Looks like water leaked in from the roof vent. It wasn't falling apart, but clearly water damaged. The roof needed to be resealed. You could see the seam had opened up about 50% of the exterior seam, which probably means water got in. Pin holes all over the tent fabric. Everything else was mostly just needs a good cleaning/cosmetic work.

    Sadly, out of my budget. Just refinanced the house and am building my savings back up. Gonna be 6 months or so until I have the funds saved up for anything nice.

    Sounds Good. It'll probably be here 6 months from now as they are reluctant to sell it. Similar to this one.
