Buying tacoma soon..

Hey guys, looking/buying an 06 tacoma, black, 4x4, long bed, trd sport(of course, if it is a long bed) 96k miles. Has the JBL. Has a tool box, everything else is stock.
He said he put 60k miles on the tires(don't know the brand) and said they have over 80% left. that sounds crazy to me. I could get it for 14k ish. He is in Northern VA

Also the back sliding rear window was broken by a softball. How hard is it to install/find one of these? Just the sliding part. Could I get one for under 200?

Also how is the 4x4 on the limited slip? Id much rather have the locking..oh well.
I may put a lift on it(3in, just spacer and aal probably) what is the biggest tire i could do with minor rubbing on the stock wheels. 285? 305?

Lastly, what are the major problems that go wrong with these trucks I should look at? Blower squeak, anything else?

Thanks a lot guys..

no one wants to help? also is there a thread for 3in lift pictures?

 

Not sure how hard to replace the back window or if it would be the whole thing or just the sliding part. Lots of pics of trucks with 3 in lifts. It's probably the most popular on here. I believe with a 3 in lift and 285s you'll have to do some trimming to keep from rubbing, but I don't have first hand experience, just what people have posted.

 

thanks for the response. I searched for a thread on them and couldn't find one. I found one for the 6in lifted trucks though.

he also said the compass and thermometer doesn't work and needs a fuse replaced. Ever happened to anyone?

 

There's a thread on the Compass/temp fix, it's most likely a resistor on the temp circuit board. 285's will need some trimming at 3 inches, probably ditch the front flaps and do a cab mount chop

 

You can easily run 285's (33" nittos) with a 3" kit (pro comp) That's what I have. All I did was remove the mudflaps... They are crap anyways... and trim some of the black fender liner away. They would rub at full turn. No need for a cab mount chop unless your running 35" tires. check out my build (click on my picture below) for pics..

 

thanks!
