It looks great. I'm just perplexed about one thing... Did Regular cabs come with chrome bumpers? It isn't an SR5 since it doesn't have the tachometer. What I'm worried about is the possibility of someone has had an accident in it. Should I be concerned? All in all, it's in great shape. I just can't shake that one thing. PS. I have bad OCD.

Speaking of which, when the guy test drove it he let go of the steering wheel for 5-10 seconds with zero movement.

A lot of people upgrade bumpers due to the plastic fading......if its a concern that the guy selling it is shady, take it somewhere to make sure the frame is straight....but honeslty i would sweat it. Thats a nice looking truck!

The frame is CLEAN. Took a look under myself... man is it clean. Not sure whether it was replaced, sprayed or anything but it sure is clean. No rust.

I got him down to 8500, it has 180k miles. The engine bay is extremely clean. No mud, only a few specks of dust.

New firestone destination A/Ts as well.

FWIW I don't think that style of wheel was ever offered on the 01-04 style Tacoma. I don't think anything newer than 2000 got those wheels, 4Runners included.

BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.

Whatever the case it looks like someone took real good care of it.

The only thing I'm seeing is that the corner light trim is a different color. Those have been replaced too.

I was just wondering if there could be a relationship between these replaced corner lights and the possibly replaced bumper.

Otherwise you're right, that's rather insignificant.

research the truck value for your area-what are they selling for.
From the pics-it appears that the truck was well cared for.
New tires too-take that into consideration when calculating value.
Good luck.
