FEELER(S) '02 DCAB TACO

02 d-cab taco, sr5, trd, gold, 84k on truck. Don't get to excited yet, read on.

i bough the truck in december of 2012 from a buddy of mine who bought it new and had used it for a hunting truck until he got a rhino. it was then parked for a year and the next time he went to start it, the cat had plugged up and ended up smoking the motor. when i bought it i assumed it was missing due to the sensors hanging down after he cut off the exhaust. i found out later this was not the case, so a reman motor was installed. that brings us up to date.

the bad.

like i said, it was a hunting truck before i got it. it scrathed up pretty good with a few small random dents. steerign rack leaks. the underneith has typicle rust of a toyota in central wv. control arms, f/r springs, rearend all has some scaling. also some scaling on the floor bords. bed rails and bed are a little skinned up. the inside is 6/10. there are some scuffs on the center console, kick panels, and glove box. the front seats are in pretty good shape, there is a stain on the pass. rear seat. there cleaned, just stained.

it has the makings fro a good truck, but i 'm needing a fullsize for the kids to fit. if i could figure out a way for it to work i would keep it. you know how it goes. right now i'm @ $14, 500 in it. thats where we'll start. i'll try to get some pictures when it stops raining. located in central wv. about 2 hours south of pittsburg fro reference. if there are any particular questions, just ask i do what i can to answer them. thanks

frame was replaced under the recalls a couple years ago.

i was pretty dissapointed my self when i found out the motor was bad. ended up shelling out a bunch of money and had to hear about it from my friends. lose/lose.
