    I dunno. Sounds a little fishy to me. It looks like you're missing some door molding. I'd take it back. Better yet, I'll buy it from you. Wanna earn an extra $100? :D

    Good deal man. You scored like it was you're first date!!!

    seriously!? :) it was one of those *what the f is wrong with it?* moments. I wasnt sold until the seller took out the subwoofer from behind the passenger seat and said "i wanna put this in my honda". I asked where the amp was...he said " o no, the sound just comes from the car." meanwhile im staring at a 300 dollar lightning audio amp under the driver seat. Yep sold mr.

    nice truck. its not a trd for the fact they didnt come in a 4 banger unless i am mistaken. maybe aftermarket flares. maybe they are smaller flares to match the stepside bed. have to look(google) up other stepsides to see their flares.my flares were way bigger.looks like a normal factory rear bumper but toyota just added end caps to fit the stepside.aftermarket mirrors for sure.my mirrors folded in. i had a 02 xcab taco colormatched sr5 4 banger.it had everything but the v6 and trd package.

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    You could get a 4 banger TRD in 98-00, but I am not sure about the 01-04's . But it was only offered in the access and DC's though. No single cabs.

    None...yet.
    That sounds a lot like my truck. SR5, non TRD, and has manual locks/mirrors/windows and no cruise control.

    Good looking truck though man. Hopefully you can put that KING suspension to the test one day!

    thanks for the warm welcome everyone! i'll definitely be using you all as a resource. i added some pictures of the 4-link setup for Pho, and motoxxx it doesn't have a locker switch. I want to assume the builder installed some kind of traction control, but i have no idea how to check for that.

    That is one funky truck you got there! Very cool 3-link rear.

    ah 3 link! yeah i guess that makes more sense than counting frame connections. :) question for you guys: is the automatic in my prerunner the same that would be hooked up to a v6? that would make me feel better since it would technically be more durable.
