You may not need to replace the clutch...some go way over 100K, unless it was used for towing a lot. I think mine was, as it needed a new clutch at 82K. If they are doing the timing belt, have a dealership run the VIN to see if there are any recalls (headgasket and tie rod are possibilities I think). Also, you may want to re-do the valve covers, they are known to seep and eventually leak. Congrats on the new truck! Pics soon!

ended up getting it yesterday ... clutch feels great so im not tripping off that
ran the vin on toyotas website and no recalls but i read that the valve covers had one a while back so i may take it by the dealer here and see what they say
today im wiring up my sub and amp, putting my headunit in, and putting the pioneer that came with it into my 99 mazda b2500 that will be for sale here shortly. Right now im online looking to see where the best place to push the amp wire thru is
so far in addition to the purchase price im in $103 transfer / tax, and $63 smog
BTW you got the same S/N on toyotanation? Im slammin211s over there
