What to look for?

Just bought a 2000 4x4x4x5x125k.

Added take off 2018 TRD wheels and tires!

A/C fuse was blown after first checking pressure. Works great now!

Found a stuck caliper piston. Changing out front brakes.

I am new to these admirable trucks and am wondering what to look for in terms of component condition?

 

frame rust.

 

Welcome aboard. So where's the mug shot of the truck. Here's one to ya

 

Welcome to the dark side! Frame rust is the biggest issue, then I'd check to see if the valve cover is leaking and if the timing belt was done

 

No frame rust at all, clean truck.

 

If you've got no rust and no leaks, I think you've got yourself a fine truck

 

Here it is!

 

Your truck looks nice!
You didn't state its mileage.
When was the last time timing belt/water pump were replaced?
When was the last time the front end was aligned?
When was the last time the coolant was replaced?

 

I made a thread for exactly this purpose. The list isn't complete, but I welcome suggestions!

I did state mileage, I tried to simplify the details. 4x4x4x5x125k!

Timing chain should be good. Wondering how long the water pumps last?
