:luxhello: to Scott for being a stand up guy!
When I was still shopping, he did answer my email, but it took a while. Beware though, the truck supposedly has a guatemala title also.:sombrero:

Are you using a multi cl search engine like the search tempest site? I use it frequently because all I need to do is specify how far from my zip I want to search and it searches multiple cl search sites simultaneously for me.

not tempest, but something similar. these two just popped up yesterday
http://fortcollins.craigslist.org/cto/2200721338.html
talking currently. all the work was performed by his mechanic father. tires are new. and because the next is $1000 cheaper, which i said, he offered to meet in the middle at $2700.
apparently the other is gone, but it was a 95, blue, 208k, but needing maintenance. $2200
so naturally i like the other. i will go see it tomorrow most likely, i just hope that my funds come through before it sells!

I don't know your situation, but for me personally, with a wife and kids that often ride with me the increased safety features of the 97 would be enough for me to lean that way. The 96 and newer had driver/passenger airbags and I'm not sure when ABS was standard, but I'm sure it was at least an option and most likely included on a '97 SR.

good call. info i had not heard. but, the 97 also dropped to 4.2 gears in the axles, which is a bummer.
it looks like i have struck a deal on the white one in san antonio! fly out on the 20th!
any recommendations on places to stop/see/wheel on the way back to denver? was planning on going through albequerque.
and thank you all for the input and help in this process.

My 95 has ABS and driver side airbag.
My biggest regret is not getting a 96 with OBD-II.
On the 94, let someone else chime in here, but I looked at a 94 before purchasing mine. It was an SR, but had no locker and had the 3.0L. Contradictory, I thought.
