The truck is a 1998 T100, fully loaded with every option except the bucket seats.

The truck is in fantastic mechanical condition, the engine starts right up, it drives straight forever, drives like new too. Everything feels tight.

The exterior is good, the body is straight with minimal dents and scrapes.

The bumper had been bent in, but i replaced that. The left taillight screw broke so now its a little loose, need to get a new one.

The paint on the left front has been redone. Obviously it was done by Joe Dirt because its chipped and cracked. However, all the original Toyota 202 paint shines like new! The rims on the back are pitted slightly, want to replace them.

Also, the truck has 255/70/R16, which sucks. But their brand new so i have to wait awhile until i can justify buying 265s.

In time i want to replace the chrome wheel well trim with Bushwacker Fenderflares. I am in the process of ordering a bugshield. I might want to replace the oak bench which bucket seats. The bench is plenty supportive, and has no rips or tears, but i think the bucket seats look better. But i would only get factory T100 seats, which i probably will never find. I'm sure any t100 expert would realize this at first glance, but its not a true TRD. since it didnt have t100 emblems (which i plan to get when i have the cracked paint resprayed, this time the right way) i put them in the back, it looks exactly the same as a TRD would have, but its not supercharged, still pretty fast though.

The truck has 153k, and for $3995 i think i got a great deal. The truck is car fax valued at exactly $8,000. But i think personally its worth $6000. It needs about $2k in upgrades to be in excellent condition (paint wheels etc.) The truck is from Northern Minesota, so to only have tiny rust bubbles above the rear wheel wheels is a testiment to its durabilitiy.

Also, the trailer hitch is original to the truck, and seems to have fused inside the reciever, does anyone know some kind of product to help it get out? I've been WD40ing it for while, but havnt tried pulling it yet.

Thanks

 

Congrats! You'll love the truck. Word of advice...don't get rid of it the first chance you get when something cool comes along or you get a job that pays enough to get a new car. Your first car always has the most personality and you'll miss it when it's gone. Trust me...how I could miss an '89 Nissan Sentra with no AC is beyond me, but I do.

As for the hitch...PB Blaster every day a few times, and make sure you rap it with a decent hammer to help break it loose and allow the blaster to penetrate. Might take a few days.

Congrats again!

 

Thanks. I dont plan to sell it. I love toyota, and the t100 is one of my favorite trucks. I plan to drive it till 300k and then buy myself a new Tundra. But of course i will keep it.

 

I took some more photos today.
