long story short this truck was a junker, traded it for a bronco and im stuck with that ( to get to and from school and try and get a job ) till i get my taxes then imma try and trade or sell the bronco and buy a decent toyota. even if it isnt sfa I just want a toyota for the decent mpg and the awesome offroad capabilities. I am in milwaukie

well atm my 240sx is down and out so i could only trade my bronco off unless you wanna hold on to it till i get my car fixed which would be a while ( gotta get my tax money ) to get a new tranny / clutch and slave cylinder for my car. lol Then i gotta sell the bronco.

but do you have pics of it you can send them in a pm if you want. id like to see it and if you have it when i have money then maybe id take it.
