Yes factory paint! And it has 202k miles. I have a ton of pics just haven't had long enough to upload them yet. I should have them all up by the end of the night.

Tires are 35" Mickey Thompsons and wheels are 17". Can't upload pics from my phone or I would have them up already. Only real rust is on the tailgate. Came with a practically rust free extra tailgate, and the bed is pretty solid as well. Gotta get the new tailgate painted though. May rattle can it till I can afford to get it done right.

We'll just say I'm glad I have friends that are yota lovers too. "msugoose" had this truck and looked for sometime to find one that was in this good of shape. I'll try and list everything already done by him. It was an act of congress to get it from him. I've been trying to get my hands on it for while now. Can't disclose the price as for the amount I paid. It was worth every penny plus a lot more. My intentions are to finish what he started. He has several trucks and just doesn't have enough time for all of them.

I like the stripes too. Had to put an alternator in it today. Didn't get pics of it but it's pretty easy. Tight fit to get out the bottom though.

Thanks for all the kind words guys! Plans are to get the truck leveled front to rear or at least close. Right now she is 3 3/8" off on the rear. Looking for a set of rear lift springs 3-4" should put me close. Also looking for some gears again before I burn the clutch up on these 35" tires. Looking for some 5.29's or 4.88's. 5.29's are preferred but I can manage with the 4.88's. I have two sets of 4.10's. One in a house and the other is just ring and pinion. Also have the 4.10's in this truck as well. Secondly I will be rebuilding the front axle lug to lug. Rear seals will be done once I have a set of gears to go in. Also going to get the better tailgate cleaned up and painted along with the front lower valance. Will eventually do high steer next spring or summer time. That's the plan for now and of course just enjoy it. I'm debating on keeping the 35" tires. I keep leaning back to 33"s. We will see depending on gears I get. Anyone have the gears or rear leafs let me know. I have parts for trade and cash if no trade is made.

Nice truck bro. I already regret selling it to you but I know you will take care of it. Have fun with it and keep the pics coming. I have yet to find a nicer truck in original condition as that one.
