Trade 2010 for 2002?

Before you scream HELL NO! Hear me out . I found this 02 yota on craigslist (http://anchorage.craigslist.org/cto/2034217994.html) with only 52,000 miles. Currently, I have a 10' yota with trd offroad package and about 15,500 miles. I've been wanting to get a 1st gen yota and put a long travel kit on it with some other goodies. What do you guys think? Yay or nay?

Side note - It's really not too much fun driving a brand new vehicle =\.

 

fuck yay homeboooiii

 

u gonna sell your 2010? then buy the 2002 right?

 

Well first I'm going to see if he wants to give me some cash and just trade for mine. He said he needs to sell for a truck with more towing power for his new toys...but I'm not sure if he's thinking of getting a full sized truck. The truck was posted up 9 hours ago so I'll see what he says tomorrow.

Things I want to do if I end up getting it...

- Long travel kit
- New shocks in back/leaf springs
- Fiberglass front fenders
- Tires/rims

Then just go from there.

 

I say no...you live in Alaska right? What do you need a LT Kit for lol

Just messin around...do what makes you happy man...GL with your decision

 

Haha yea, I really don't "need" it but it would be fuckin awesome =\. The more sensible thing would be to get a solid axle and do an sas. That's actually what I would most likely do since I live up here . So if I were to throw a solid axle on it w/ other things...would that be a good idea to trade?

EDIT:

Turns out the seller is an old friend from 4 or 5 years ago. He inherited an ocean boat and bought a 2011 tundra. I would have to sell my truck and then buy his..

 

I think a SAS is a way better option...then you could have the option for front and rear locking diff

 

X2 - do what make's you happy man. You can read through a bunch of mixed opinions, but at the end of the day, you're the one that has to live with your decision.

 

That appears to be a well kept 2002 but just hope you never have to regret when you need the extra towing capacity or power. Good luck with your decision.
