TacomaWorld... fml

Ok. I am glad I put the specifics up. Thanks for the clarification. I just sent the two owners e-mails asking for them to explain exactly what they own. lol. I was looking at 4x4 trucks because of the New England winters. Do you know if I would be ok with a rear-diff lock? Does TRD mean V6? Is there a 4 cyl TRD Off Road?

Thanks again for the help?

 

Check very carefully for rust before buying. I would get a 4x4 with TRD for the locker. Just take your time and shop around, you will find a good one.

 

Oh, so is this better?

 

Much better! Black, White, Silver. Those are my three colors. What setup are you running? I can't wait to get into a 1st Gen DC. I already all my mods priced up and ready to order. My gf hates my guts right now, all I do is talk about my soon to be new gf.

 

check/ask for maintenance records. one of the more expensive job is a timing belt replacement. look for records of routine transmission flush.

i currently have ~227k miles and have not had any issues at all. my brother and i do all the maintenance ourselves so i don't really have official records myself so don't let that deter you if you're buying from private party. gauge the seller and his/her character.

take your time and you'll find a gem. it's a great little truck and good luck with your search.

 

Yes, if the frame rusted, you can have Toyota replace teh frame, although I think some are just being "bought" back and totalled, but I've never done it.

If you don't like the gold color (who does?!), just cover it with mud and dirt (or plasti-dip), and no one will know...

 

Noooo!!!! I thought this would be the first thread with out a Plasti-Dip shout out!!!

 

It has billie 5100 all around and bridgestone revos on AAR rims. add in the smoked out headlights, signals and markers. Best truck I have ever owned. The winters here in MA can be pretty tough, and I have to be up at the crack of dawn for work, so often times it is before the plow comes. With this truck, I never have a problem getting out or maintaining traction. Never had to use the locker, and 4L maybe once or twice. with 125,000 miles it still has lots of life left.

 

Fuckin awesome. lol. Where is your build thread? I am making one when I get my DC but its gonna be sloooooowww. I am hoping to get one before the winter.

 

build thread is non existent. I di all of these mods and then found TW. name a good price, and the truck is yours... maybe

 

Oh really. I am trying to find one for under 12k. I am sure that somebody is looking for a quick sell. Are you?

 

not me, because that means id have to find another truck to sink money into

 

Well.. the search continues!

 

I read somewhere that the 99s that were TRD didn't come with a locker.
That's the debate I've been having with mine ever since I bought it.

1999 TRD Prerunner std cab 2.7
I have the skid plate, factory stickers (replaced with Sockmonkey stickers) and the beefier suspension from the factory but no locker.

 

I love my truck but I'd probably sell it to you in a heart beat if it wasn't exactly opposite of what you wanted. haha

 

lol. I cant wait to sell my reg cab. I am looking all over the country for the perfect truck. I have found a lot of DC TRDs w/ locker but no 4x4s . This next truck will be my last truck for a long time so I am not going to settle.
