SOLD: 1997 4WD Tacoma w/ locking hubs

Edit: more pics below to show frame and drivers side of fabric. Don’t want anyone thinking I took the pic from the passenger side to show ruined fabric. It’s in perfect shape.

Selling my truck for $5500. 155,700 miles. VIN: 4TAPM62NXVZ236247

This truck is in Draper, UT for anyone interested.
It’s a great truck. I’ll start with the cons. It doesn’t have the bug shield anymore. It had already been super glued together and then I slipped and caught myself with it, smashing it in half. There is a whine in the power steering. I can show you exactly where it’s coming from. You can’t even hear the whine when driving straight, or at freeway speeds. You can only hear it when turning at slower speeds. The power steering works perfectly.

Pros - locking front hubs for 4WD work fantastically. 4WD works great. I put brand new carpet in the truck, so there’s no funky 22 year old smell. Took off the seat covers and washed them as well, the condition of the fabric on the bench seat is great. Brand new radiator and hoses, A/C evaporator core, belts, thermostat, rack and pinion, tie rods, and rear shocks.

This drives like a champ, absolutely zero issues driving at freeway speeds. It is 4 cyl and I get 20 mpg. This has been a great truck for getting me to work. Just bought a new one that I can drive my kids around in.

 

Here's the carfax

 

That’s a great deal for someone.
Good luck with the sale.
I’m betting it sells within 24 hours.

 

I’m hoping as much. My only worry is that it’s not really “looking for new vehicle” weather quite yet haha

 

Ahh transformers edition! Sweet ride!

 

Yeah haha. We name all our vehicles and the wife and kids chose Optimus haha

 

Why no action on this rig ?
How’s the frame ?

 

sweet truck

 

Don’t know why no action yet, but I’ll be patient. Rust on the frame is flaky rust, but nothing that goes deep. Only body rust so in the left rear wheel well and on the roof it has the sun spots but that’s it.

 

More pics to show Frame. I guess I could’ve taken a picture of the frame facing forward to show the new rack and pinion. Will do if anyone wants to see.

 

Sold to someone in Utah today!

 

Nice !! Did you get what you wanted for it ?

 

Yeah I did! $5,500 without rebuilding the power steering pump again. So I basically got back what I paid for it plus what I put into it, not including time haha.

 

Good deal
