My new ride!

[Hoodboogie]

After spending a few months looking I finally found something I feel worth building into a family friendly rig.

Welcome the 2005 DCSB TRD Offroad to the family. Found it for cheap because of it's high mileage. 1-owner and body and interior are immaculate but with 237k miles I guess the guy couldn't get rid of it. Runs great (so far) and should serve well as a family camping/hunting/off-roading vehicle.

I've been reading around a lot bit if anyone has any tips/tricks for this model feel free to inform me. I have to fix the compass/thermometer by soldering it, fix the VSV tick with some rubber washers and double sides tape, and replace the antenna. Then she'll be in full working order. Also has the wonderful melted lenses inside the headlight assembly but I may not even bother with replacing the headlights until the bulbs go bad.

Anyone have experience with shorty headers on these 4.0's? Truly worth the gain or not? Thanks

Nice looking truck! What's "cheap" in this case? I know around here you can't touch a tacoma for what I'd call cheap.

Considering at all the vehicles I was looking at I would say it was a good deal. $8800

There is a warrant y extension for the headlamps if they are cracked. I cant remember the mileage limits right off though. Can ck when I get back to work Tuesday if you want

Cruiserbent, If it isnt much trouble I would appreciate it. I fond some aftermarket sets for decent prices. I would imagine 200,000 miles is well over any warranty though, haha

There is a recent extension. Toyota knows there is a issue there

Awesome, I will call a local dealer tomorrow

Took truck in today for floormat recall that was never done. They mentioned the headlights and ordered them without me even saying anything. Also they inspected the frame for the known rust issues and found a few holes. They are documenting it so as soon as the service campaign begins in VA I should have a new frame!! So far I'm digging being a toyota owner.
