1997 Toyota Tacoma Ext Cab
3.4L V6
~145,500 miles
Manual Transmission

HID Headlights
7” HID Off-road lights
ARB Front Bumper
Safari Snorkel
Rock Sliders (welded to frame)
Old Man Emu Heavy Duty 2.5” Lift
BF Goodrich MT 255/85/R16 tires lots of tread left
Canvas Shell with mounts for a Roof Top Tent (currently has a Camping Labs tent which can be included for extra cost if interested)
Upgraded seats
Yakima Rack with fairing, basket, and 4 lights
Toyota e-locker rear axle (not wired yet)
Upgraded Sound Deck with iPod integration and remote
CB Radio and antenna
HAM radio and antenna Yaesu 7800 remotely mounted with output wired through truck's speaker system (can be included for extra cost if interested and purchasing party has a license or plans to obtain one)
New windshield

Engine runs strong, replaced timing belt and water pump and all other belts ~30,000 miles ago
Replaced CV Boots ~ 10,000 miles ago
Oil changed regularly

I will also include a tank I was going to try to create an auxiliary fuel system with if buyer is interested.

Has a few dings and scratches but is in all around great shape. I have used it on many trails and it has always performed extremely well. I am really sad to even ponder selling it; however, with school, the reality is I am not using it as often as I would like, and I am in the process of trying to go to Africa with my wife for the summer. Thus, the money would help. I have put a considerable amount of time and money into it finding out what would work best, and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to take the truck on a trip today!

Located in Logan, UT

I am asking $9,500 without tent and radio. I am by no means desperate to sell, so please don't lowball it. But if I am way off base with the price I am willing to hear a well-reasoned argument. Let me know if you would like any more pictures.

Needs to get out more
I was able to check out Paul's truck the other day, and it is super clean. Nicely built, but not over the top. It will surely make someone very happy...

I'm kind of casually browsing right now. Not sure if I'm ready to take the leap, but definitely looking for a 5-sp Tacoma TRD ext cab. Just curious, have you wired the e-locker yet? How is the steering rack looking? What's up with the spare tire in the bed? Does it not fit in the stock location?

I haven't wired it up the e-locker yet but it isn't too bad. I haven't taken it off road lately so I haven't had the motivation to do it. Depending on my classes are, I may be able to work something out.

And as for the steering rack I replaced it about a year ago it seems to be fine.

The spare in the bed is because I was going to install an auxiliary fuel tank (removed the spare mount under the bed) and put the spare on a rear swing-out bumper, but went another way with the tank and haven't picked up a bumper yet.
