This truck has been with me for many years, it has always been totally reliable and a strong runner. While not in perfect condition it is in great shape for a vehicle that is over 20 years old. She is very comfy for long road trips, skiing, surfing, lots of room for gear, bench seats for packing in your friends. It drives very well on the freeway, smooth and predictable, with the great tires and plenty of clearance she has no problem taking you to the far-away corners of any state you choose. She has always had scheduled maintenance, all replacement parts have been OEM toyota when needed. I would not hesitate to hop in and drive across the country. Interior condition is good. She comes from a non-smoking home. The driver's seat has the typical tear/foam break-up, The carpet is clean and tight but it does show wear, the dash is uncracked and in great shape excluding some perforations at the stock speaker location. There is no stereo. The cargo area carpet was removed long ago due to a large amount of dog hair. The windows are tinted dark to keep looky-loo's from peeking in, combined with the cold AC it makes for a comfy summer ride. The heater works great. The headliner is intact and tight with a little dirt. With the bench seat, large rear cargo area this truck is perfect for loading the family and friends up for extended trips and journeys upon roads less travelled. The exterior is in good condition but does have a few issues. The paint is not original but is very well done, it shines brightly and looks great. There is no rust on the body panels and slight cosmetic only rust on some areas of the frame. This truck was purchased by the original owner in Reno and lived there until I purchased it and it moved it to Lake Tahoe. They do not use salt on the roads there and combined with the sunny climate the frame is very solid. This was a major review point for me when I first purchased it. There is no rust around the doors or wheel wells, the rain rails are also clean. She has acquired a few scrapes and dings in the many years of service. There is a 6 to 8 inch crease in the driver's side rocker panel and the tailight. The right rear panel near the taillight was scraped by an errant driver in the recent winter blast here in portland. The rear tailgate and liftgate are also creased . They still function fully and are not visually bad. Please check all photos for the full condition. Mechanically the truck is very solid, she starts easliy, runs very strong and I would not hesitate to drive this truck anywhere. She has always had oil changes on a regular 3000 mile schedule. There have been many recent replacement parts and upgrades listed below, it does need to have the parking brake cable replaced. The 4wd works excellent. The truck does not burn oil though she has a few leaks like all older cruisers. I average 13 to 15 miles per gallon depending on the load and driving conditions. She really likes to motor along around 2500 RPM, very smooth and quiet. Idles well,the valves purr. The brakes are smooth and have good feel, stops well. The compression numbers average from 140 to 150's. She has just over 231,000 miles. The exterior has a few dings as can be seen in the photos and video, the window is cracked and she could use a new e brake cable. This truck has current registration and tags. All gauges are accurate and functional. This truck has never overheated and is always rock steady at the gauge, summer time heat in traffic with AC is of no concern. Here is a list of specs-- Recent tune up, spark plugs, cap, rotor, air filter, a few new hoses and belts - Recent brake pad replacements, and all lines flushed with new fluid- The charging system was upgraded. There is an optima red top battery, and all new ground and charge wires made from marine grade 0 gauge wiring to the ground and starter. - 31" x 10.5" BFG all terrain tires with 35% tread and a full size spare on aftermarket steel wheels- upgraded heavy duty shocks with helper springs - tie rod ends and various steering components have been replaced- replaced clutch 2 years ago at 185,000 miles. - originally a north california truck with very little rust on the frame and very minimal on the body, this thing is solid! - 4wd drive works excellent, hubs and transfer case all work smoothly - Upgraded headlights- new alternator and starter- Replaced the fuel filter, and had the carb overhauled. - fj62 style mirrors for greater visibility. The grill and all vents were sandblasted and "blacked" out I have done my best to fully list the condition, if there are any questions please ask...
