Very Built 2001 Toyota Tundra

Explorer
It's got 105k miles on it and has recently had the timing belt, water pump, serpetine belt, & pulleys changed with all factory Toyota parts. New tires and low miles on the drive train. Will cruise down the interstate at 75 MPH comfortably, cold A/C, cruise works, speedometer is dead on, etc. I drive it everyday to work and it just passed emissions with no problem. Engine oil is changed every 3,500 miles and transmission / transfer case fluid is changed every Spring. It has a lot of new spare parts that would go with it (spare front hub, steering box sector shaft, joints, belts, wheel, radiators, etc.). Sheet metal is well weathered. Brand new tube doors are included.

It's set up to run 37" - 40" tires.

It needs nothing but to be driven. Has a clean title.

This is a very complete and thorough build, extensive attention was given to every detail on this truck. There is not a single "kink" to work out, this rig is very much fine tuned and dialed in. It is a very capable & dependable daily driver.

Jump in it, drive it across country, wheel it, drive it home - while doing so in comfort!


This truck has been featured in both 4WD Toyota Owner and Petersen's 4Wheel & Off-Road magazines.

Going to buy a new FJ for my fiance and mildly build it for her......so I can have my '08 Tundra back. Can't afford three vehicles at this point :).

Man I wish I had a spare 20,000 laying around.
For that money you'd be getting a real "go anywhere" vehicle.
and if you travel with any of the Tundrabirds, you automatically get the title of "Tundrabird Prime"

Wow - I can't believe that this truck hasn't sold yet.

I can tell you from having seen it on the trail this is a meticulously maintained, well-thought out build, skillfully crafted, that goes anywhere. I wish I had the cash... just to look at it in the garage would give me a rush.

Would it be possible to put a back seat in it? Could you give some dimension of the rear area?

My intension was to put two racing seats in the front and one in the back, but never got around to it. I already picked up a factory center console from a Tundra that came with bucket seats in the same color as my interior.

Since it's got a 60/40 bench seat up front and still has the center seat belt, we just flip up the console whenever we have a third person riding with us, there's plenty of room up front for three.

Between the "B" pillar spreader and the back of the cage is 18", but the spreader is fairly low because I was going to use it to mount all of the seats to. The cab width in the back is about 5'. I was planning on setting one fixed racing seat in the back, centered between the two front seats in the future.
