New member, (hopefully) on the cusp of getting a Taco

Howdy y'all, long lurker but new member. Looking for some thoughts as I dig thru the many excellent posts on buyers guides, mods, things to look for, etc.

I'm looking to get a rig soon (tomorrow even), 1st gen hopefully, for nomadic living (seasonal jobs) and expedition builds. Found this one I may check out tomorrow, far drive away tho so I can't check out in person and decide.

2004 AC 4x4 6cyl 5spd, 134k, clean record with good maintenance according to seller. Custom popup overcab as well as the classic platform/storage in the cab. Super clean inside from the pictures, miles pretty low comparably (under 150).

Only have a few pics of undercarriage, hard to tell (https://imgur.com/SDZO1KA https://imgur.com/iZ0y2t8 https://imgur.com/NkS1FY3).

Do Toyota dealerships still check out/test frames and replace them on these old models? (I looked into the recalls and know some 1st gens have frame rust but don't know if there is a cutoff date for replacement)

Cheers!

 

Welcome to TW....The cutoff date on most of the frame recalls is 15 years from year it was made.

 

didn't know that, thanks! I'm gonna try calling a dealership tomorrow with the VIN, hope they can look it up

 

Good luck!!!
