Picked up a new Toy....ota...

[Railroader]

Been looking for a bit for just one more single cab 4x4 5sp Toyota. Happened to check CL, and there it was ....

1998 Toyota Tacoma 4x4
Tires
Lift
Exhaust
Seat
Windshield
Bed liner
Headlights
Intake Air box
Bed mat
Wheels
New emblems Black
Bumper push bar
Front rotors and pads
New front struts
All new seals and gaskets
Plugs & wires
Egr delete
Belts
Yukon rear locker
Spartan front locker

It was the easiest deal ever, and she's a looker to boot. Picked it up in Jacksonville, and had a two hour drive to get acquainted. Rides out very well, everything works.



Happy happy!

Price???

 

[Railroader]

Price???

I paid up a little, because of the brand new mud tires, suspension lift, and front and rear lockers...

$6k...

 

[Mexican Squealer]

Love those things! Enjoy...

 

[Railroader]

Love those things! Enjoy...

I intend to. And keep it as long as it can be made to go...Always regretted giving up on the last one I had, in 2012.

You need to see if she's trail worthy and report back. Sweet truck, congratulations.

 

[Nicodemus]

Mighty nice rig. I have an old `97 Outlaw myself. It`ll go anywhere.

Half the price of a side x side. I have been looking for one too, preferably beat up some, want to rhino line it, install a flat bed & swampers on it on it, use it as a stump jumper at hunt camp.

I would buy a Toyota 4WD over a SXS any day of the week.

Nice! I learned something new. I thought everything on C.L. was a scam.

Nice Toyota truck. I’m partial to the standard cab Toyota trucks myself. After searching for a while I recently found an ‘08 with 410,000 miles (original owner) and it still runs and rides like a new one. You just can’t beat Toyota trucks, IMHO. I have completed a full detail including the engine bay.

On the way home from work today she went to squealing so bad I thought my second ex wife had been stuffed under the hood...Thankfully it was just the pulley bearing on the alternator.

Add one to the "new list".

Good job, @Railroader

I've found that those midsize 4x4 trucks are mighty handy as hunt trucks.


I used the heck outa my Polaris when my main vehicle was a full sized truck or Tahoe.


After getting a midsize 4WD pickup, though....I found myself hooking up to the utility trailer for the Polaris less and less often on hunting trips.

I keep a come-along & straps as well as a jump starter battery onboard and I've been good to go....especially since I went to more aggressive tires...went from AT to MT and have zero complaints.

You did good. With the front and rear lockers that thing will go anywhere.

 

[Railroader]

Yeah y'all, I'm pretty happy with it!!

Seems to be a good one so far. I have an old tool box drying that I rolled with black Herculiner, and there will probably be a winch in it's future.

And as soon as The Kid can see over the wheel, he's gonna learn to drive in the woods...

 

[Railroader]

Just got back from a little woods ride and yeah, this little truck will climb a tree...

And with the manual hubs, 2Lo third gear is PERFECT for easing thru the woods.

2Lo will also make it very easy for The Kid to learn how the clutch works.

I forgot how much I like these little trucks.

My son has a stock Tacoma single cab 4x4, he loves it! Think its 2012 model.

 

[mossyoakpro]

I have a 99 Extended cab that I bought new...has a Warn on the front that has only been used once. Great trucks! Mine has been relegated to trapping and hunting now...thought about selling it but I can't bring myself to do it.

 

[Headshot]

Great looking find. Toyotas are tough.

(I bought a 2014 Tacoma double cab 4x4 TRD Sport in Dec 2013. I love it!)
