Honestly I'm not like most of you. I think its fun to have a truck where you have to sort out all the problems. It'll probably have less problems than your POS 4.3 though...

lol...looked at it today. And I'm going to get it. Its an auto and I didn't move it. Starts up just fine. Runs a "tad" rough. The guy was playing with the injector while it was running and pulled the plug off and it was running worse. Then for some reason it all cleared up (after he put it back on) and was fine. Didn't smoke, and started nicely. There pretty much is NO interior. I'm going to put bed liner all over the floor anyway. LOL

Oil was black as black could be too!

It was overall in not THAT bad of shape. It has a 3-4" lift. Leans a little to the left....and has blocks in the rear. Looks like a rancho lift to me.

Thanks! I'll post pics when I get it!

i would be carefull buddy i know your way happy to get a 4wd BUT with a trany problem as said in the post it could be needing a rebuilt trany or a 5-speed swap

as for the lift i would rip off the rear leafs and get a real lift

the inside is for people that afraid to get dirty so dirty it up!!

paint kicks ass love it i say keep it or go black on black

get new tyres asap

have the TITLE checked first its saying it has a marked title here thats a lean or something like that witch means if it is you will not be able to title her in your name untill its paid off

other then that man i say get her and see what she can do just hope its better then your 2wd lol

LOL...the tranny won't shift out of first. Either a too tight cable or a 5spd swap (hopefully senior project )

Blocks are getting ripped out! Going to get bigger leafs!

The truck has been stolen. He has the title though. He has had it for over 5 years or so. So it just sits but still runs pretty damn decent. lol.

Better than my 2wd? Only in the aspect it HAS 4wd. Love my 2wd to death...always will

Well its not my money so its easier said than done, but here is how I look at that. For $500 you get an awesome Toyota Truck that needs work but for the most part, functions. If you're willing to dump a few grand into it, you'll end up with a reliable and fun Toy to drive. The worst experience by far when having an old/used vehicle is discovering new problems all the time, but thats the price you pay. Good luck with the new Truck!

...and when obama's civilian security forces (every bit as well trained, and every bit as well funded as the military) shut down local travel due to the enforcement of the upcoming martial law, you won't need more than 1st gear in your automatic to go anywhere.
