My new Toy!

Hey Guys,
I was asking some for some info on a high mileage Tacoma I was looking at a couple days ago and then all of a sudden this truck popped up for sale.

It's a 96 Tacoma 4x4, manual hubs, 2.7 with 5 speed, 138,000 miles, and 32x11.5's for $4400. I think I got a real good deal on this one. Everything works perfectly. It only has one issue. When you begin to slow down and push in the clutch, the engine begins to idle a bit rough then smooths out. Really not a big deal but I was able to get a few bucks off the price for it. The tires will need to be replaced in a few months too but I'm not too bothered because they are a little too aggressive for me anyways.

Hopefully tomorrow, i will get the stereo and alarm installed, the exterior buffed with rubbing compound, glaze, wax, and just give it good cleaning.

So what do you guys think?

Looks like a nice clean rig to me. Also, the price seems to be good. I wish you the best of luck with it. Also, is this your 1st yota?

Thanks for the comments! This is my first Yota. The green truck behind it is my 350 Chevy 1500. I'm tired of paying for gas for it and it and its just a boring truck. I would love to take it offroad but I live in Orlando and I don't know of any places. Maybe Brooksville or Ocala National Forest but both those places are a couple hrs away. I wanted the 4x4 because of the slick boat ramps I launch off of.
