So nice!

gilby4runner · 03-23-2009, 08:35 AM

SAD DAY! I hope you have luck with the sale. Heres a bump for you.

olharleyman · 03-23-2009, 08:40 AM

Damn did the family collectively bump there heads?
Wish you would have had this for sale 4-5 months ago very nice I would have snapped that thing up in a heart beat.

UncleBob · 03-23-2009, 08:40 AM

Thanks guys. Considering it has $2K plus worth of additions, I think it's priced about right. I hate to get rid of the thing, though, it's been a great truck.

Supra 4x4 · 03-23-2009, 09:45 AM

Auto or 5 speed?

UncleBob · 03-23-2009, 09:55 AM

Sorry. 5-speed

If summer would just start!
Steady cash income...

Actually, yes, but doubt it would fit on the plane. Fly down here and drive it back would be the best bet. She'd make it no problem. Bring a jacket.

I'll try to get her waxed up this weekend and get some recent pictures, showing the interior and everything, including the bruises.

95RunnerSR5 · 03-24-2009, 08:19 PM

hmm...get the pics up! i'd def. love to buy it when mine sells

My99 · 03-25-2009, 05:32 PM

What a beautiful rig. Makes me want to come get it and ditch mine.

Girlfriend would kill and or leave me if I did though. You won't have any trouble selling this rig. Hopefully a fellow member will buy and enjoy it.

slisdexia · 03-26-2009, 10:01 AM

sure is a nice lookin rig. If I had the money i'd pick it up

dragr1 · 03-26-2009, 07:39 PM

Dang, if only it were a 22re. Let's see more pics anyway, it sure looks clean.

Head gaskets?

**waskillywabbit** · 03-26-2009, 08:17 PM

I have seen this rig in person. Very nice.

come on Brian you know you want another project

UncleBob · 03-27-2009, 07:41 AM

It's never been for sale here, and I didn't buy it from anyone else on here. If I get some free time tomorrow I'll replace the starter contact, and give it a good detailing so I can post some recent pics. Not much different than the old pics, though. It's been in the garage and only comes out on nice days.

UncleBob · 03-28-2009, 01:28 PM

OK, busy day. Took the starter out this morning and replaced the solenoid contact with a new one. Cleaned the starter plunger, so the starter (Original Toyota) is good.

Then I gave it a bath, vacuum, and a wax. Most of the brush scratches came right out. Gotta keep wax on that red paint or the sun will turn her pink.

Anyway, here's some pictures I just took. Don't mind the date on the camera, forgot to set it.

So there ya have it. You know you want it. The girlfriend / wife wants you to have it. No girflriend or wife? Buy this truck and you won't have that worry for long.

Seriously, it's a pretty solid truck that runs great. No surprises. Minor rust here and there, but hey, that's 21 year old original paint. Fly down, drive it home, honest.

Have more pics for anyone interested. No haggling about price, please. I won't let it go for a dollar less. Will only consider camper trades.

UncleBob · 03-29-2009, 01:25 PM

Sold.

AlanR · 04-01-2009, 10:15 AM

Did the sale fall through? I've been lurking for a couple of weeks and thought I recognized this truck from here.
