The "new" ride!

So this one is not red, not slow and no 3.0 in sight

I picked this 2000 SR5 up in march for $7500 with 115,000 miles

Previously owned by a CPA; seat covers since the day it rolled off the lot, I got handed a massive book of service records, oils been changed every 2500-3000 miles, timing belts done on time.... so on and so forth. It's in great shape







once I get my camera charged I'll take some more pictures, I've done a few things too it thus far.


I think the next few things I'm going to do are sliders, tundra breaks and trans cooler by pass.


So I'm a 3rd gen guy now!

I can count on one hand the times I used my sunroof on any of my cars in the past 12 years (including 2 4Runners). I never got the point. I had a convertible (S2000) and that was pretty cool, but sunroof?

My Tacoma has no sunroof and the number of times when I wished for a sunroof is the same as the number of NBA championship rings Patrick Ewing owns.

I,on the other hand,use my sunroof daily year round, as long as it isnt raining or snowing. I have also been guilty of leaving it open overnight and be caught driving to work to next morning sitting on towels or a wetsuit,after a surprise rain shower

A sunroof can come in handy as an escape hatch if needed off road.

As dated as T-Tops are, I'd love them in my 1st Gen Runner, instead of the sunroof.
