new to me 1995.5 2WD DLX

Hey guys, just picked this up in April, after I couldnt handle the 15mpg that my WRX was getting. Ive been getting 27+ with this. I dont plan to ever go off road, since this is 2WD, but kind of been thinking of trying to bring back the mini-truck scene haha.

Ive been seeing that these trucks hold their value. When looking, I saw some 02s with 250k+ miles going for about $8k. I got mine for $3k with 175k miles. That was alot for me, but knowing that this is japanese, it should be around for a while..

I havent had to do barely anything so far. Just brake pads, oil change, and master/slave cylinder replacement. I want to change the rear diff fluid and other maintenance related things, so I can keep her going for as long as possible.

It looks very clean, none to a couple tiny rust spots on the frame. Actually the bed looks twisted, which I guess means the frame might be bent? Can anyone comment on that? Maybe its the bushings? No other issues, body-wise..

Anyways, here are some quick pics. Not great quality, and at night, but at least its something..

 

I don't really see any twisting. You should take a picture from the back, like this:

 

Nice color one of my fav of the tacoma colors

 

I will take a pic like that, but that is what my bed looks like. Does that mean the frame is bent?

Oldblue, So this is an OEM color? It was so clean for a 95, it looks like its been repainted. I didnt do the carfax when I got the truck

 

Blackdawg had a truck that color or very close to it.

I think it's og or definitely an og color . option

 

Here is my "twisted" bed.

 

long time ago.. but After I sold it, i found out that the rear strut upper mounting point had ripped (due to rust) from the frame. That was causing the bed to "twist". New owner fixed it, and its still running today.
