I'm putting it on the market because we found a house we want (another one) and we have a chance to rent our existing home but I need to move fast on the other place and without selling our current home we don't have much for a down payment and I own the truck out right.

Oh yeah, in my opinion the truck is priced fairly so unless you have cash or a cashier's check with my name on it don't bother with an offer.

Shoot, if that was silver, I'd probably fly down to take it off your hands.
Very nice looking truck though!

Thanks! But if it was silver it would look like almost every other one on the road!

Good luck on the sale, I'm sure it'll go quick at that price.

Corrected I get about 18 mpg. My low gas light comes on at an indicated 275, my odometer is about 10% off (but the speedometer is only about 3% go figure). I do mostly backroad driving. The only time I really notice a hit in gas mileage is when I am dragging my boat around.

I forgot to add that it also has the Toyota Accessory Bed Mat, seems miniscule but it wsa the best thing i added to this truck.

Nope no sunroof option on these trucks. I have considered putting one in but the TRD's have an overhead console that would either force you to use a small sunroof or force me to switch to the Sr5 overhead console and then I loose my outside thermometer and compass.

:spit:

I already have a black car and it's constantly dirty (oh the joy of road salt!).....no thanks.....hence why I like silver/tan vehicles.

Does it have a rear locker (is that part of the TRD package?)?

The locker is part of the TRD off-road package. The TRD Sport has the bigger rearend "8.4" and has the TRD LSD. I wouldn't trade it for the locker under any circumstances, the LSD is really tight in this thing and the smaller e-locker rearends have had a lot of problems under these trucks and the FJC's. Toyota keeps blaming them on bad gear batches but it has affected all 3 years of Tacomas and the first year FJ Cruiser, so apparently they can't keep their vendors in-line or the e-locker rearend is possibly undersized.

I tried them on a couple of different computers here in the office this morning just to make sure it wasn't stored in my browser, etc and they worked fine.

Nothing is finalized yet but things are definitely headed in the right direction. Hopefully the couple will sign the lease on our house in the next day or two and we can then lock in and move forward on the new place. I will still be in a yota most likely, my dad bought an 86 4runner that needed some work almost a year ago and it has been parked beside his barn since then, I will probably getting running and take it off his hands and use it to commute for the time being.
