Nice find and congrats! In my area it is near impossible to find a good 5spd runner with a rear diff locker. It seems like you got it for a pretty good price too.

Thanks guys. Let me tell you I can tell a big difference between the 3.0L and the 3.4L engines. My wife saw it in and said "wow that is defiantly a guys truck!"

I've been looking for a black sport edition and I was surprised to see this one. While I was out test driving the car he had 4 other guys wanting to come see it.

ya, thats like $4k less then you'd have to pay for it in WA state. Salvage title? Theft recovery? Flood damage? Repo?

nope, nope, nope, and nope. Title is clean. I now can detect a bit of odor from a smoker. Any ideas on how to remove the smell of cigarette smoke?

Nice find on the 4R. I occasionally smoke but the smell lingering is really frustrating, so I followed this write up on how to remove the carpet, and then I cleaned it with an automotive grade carpet cleaner. Shampooed the floormats too. Smells good as new afterwards. A bit time consuming but worth the effort to get rid of the smoke odor

2 years at the bottom of the ocean. Seriously though, try to let it breath outside with the windows open as much as you can without getting it rained in.

Saw that on KSL. Was tempted myself, but my wife can't drive a stick. Awesome deal.
