Hi folks-
It wasn't an easy decision, but I think it's time to sell my truck. The baby seat doesn't fit in the extracab, and my work requires an open bed. Will trade for a 4x4 quad-cab pickup.
This is a one-of-a-kind vehicle.
Asking $8,000 OBO.
Here's the craigslist ad:

This is a 1999 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 extracab that has been converted to an expedition vehicle. It will take you anywhere you want to go. Most of the features of a Westfalia, and more capable and reliable than a Syncro. Gets 19 MPG on the highway!
I have owned the truck since 2002, and just completed the conversion in September 2010. My wife and I had a baby 8 months ago, so I need something with a real back seat.
I will consider a trade for a 4x4 quad-cab pickup (pref. Tundra or F250 diesel).
Chassis/drivetrain:
180,xxx miles
Original 3RZ-FE 4-cylinder 2.7L 16-valve engine
5-speed manual transmission

On-board air compressor
Lockable tool compartments
Camper frame built from square tubular steel, with .063 aluminum sheet skin sikabonded and riveted to frame. The aluminum skin is tough!
