This is the last year of the solid single axle. This vehicle is thought of by most as the height of the Toyota truck design. Super reliable and unstoppable. I went from a 2007 tacoma 4x4 to this and was amazed at how more i enjoyed this. The only reason i'm selling it is that i have a family of 4 and don't have much time to go off road or haul material any more.
It has a cracked rear tail light these are $19 at car quest. I purchased a new tailgate handle but haven't yet installed it. I currently have the tail gate inside "cover" unscrewed so i can manually open the gate. I just put a new alternator in about 3 weeks ago as well as put new coolant in. The alternator has a lifetime warranty.
The carb makes a whistle at idle but goes away when you give it gas. The noise goes away when you push lightly on the top of the carb so it's just one of the weber adapter seals. The seal kits are sold on ebay for under $20. I tried to tighten the 4 bolts a little and the noise isn't as loud. The bed has some holes near the tailgate where an old owner left a bag of cement over the winter. It's pretty minor, i was going to weld a little sheet metal in and rhino line the bed and it would look new but i haven't done it yet.
This is a great vehicle for someone who has the time to enjoy it, i wish i could hold onto it for when that day comes again. I changed the registration to antique because i was going to garage it and make it really pretty but my plans have changed. So if it's going to be your daily driver you need to get normal plates.
The suspension was lifted probably about 2 inches? I don't know exactly how high these were when stock but it looks very good and rides well. I was told by a mechanic friend that the lift was "done the right way". The previous owner was a semi truck driver who rebuilt cars in his free time. He had the engine ported, polished and honed. It probably has less than 3000 miles since then.
The tires are BFG and were new a few months before the engine was rebuilt so they look basically new. The wheels are nice alloys. Tire size is BFG KO 33x10.5 R15 High load, Mud and Snow rated. These are awesome tires and cost roughly $1000 from less schwab.
The locking hubs are the warn metal selectors.
Optional items you can also get if you want:
Aluminum diamond plate tool box locking with side pneumatic 'wing' doors $70
Stainless steel ladder rack $140
The weber carb gives it a lot of power. My new vehicle is a VW Vanagon and i really wish i had the Toyota engine and drive train in that vehicle.

10 automakers shack up in Detroit hotel to talk Takata airbags
Sun, Dec 14 2014Since Takata has decided not to take the lead concerning potential issues with its airbag inflators, the automakers have. Perhaps that's unsurprising, since it's the automakers, not Takata, that will take a beating on the dealership floor if consumers decide its models are a health hazards. The Detroit News reports that Toyota, Honda, General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Mazda, BMW, Nissan, Mitsubishi and Subaru met in a hotel conference room near the Detroit Metropolitan Airport last week to sort out a way to understand the technical issues involved. So far, faulty airbag inflators have been ruled the cause of five deaths and 50 injuries around the world, but neither Takata nor investigators understands exactly why the inflators are malfunctioning. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recently asked Takata to issue a national recall, Takata declined, citing a minuscule failure rate and the fact that it's still investigating the issue. Toyota and Honda then made an industry-wide appeal for "a coordinated, comprehensive testing program" that would pinpoint the problem inflators and get them replaced, and that's what the Detroit meeting was about. Numerous issues, however, will make this a long row to hoe: simply getting the parts to replace the nearly 20 million inflators in cars recalled around the world so far - even working with other suppliers - will take a years, but more importantly, no one knows if the replacement inflators currently being installed will suffer the same issue. Answers will hopefully come quickly with Takata, the ten automakers and NHTSA all independently investigating the problem.
Toyota asking NHTSA for waiver on 206K vehicles
Fri, 14 Mar 2014Toyota has filed a petition with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration asking for a waiver to avoid recalling about 206,271 2012-2014 Camry, Avalon, Corolla, Sienna, Tundra and Tacoma vehicles, some of its most popular models. The affected vehicles contain seat heaters that might not meet government flammability standards. Toyota says in the waiver that "the chance of fire or flame induced by a malfunctioning seat heater is essentially zero," according to The Detroit News. The automaker notes the part makes up less than one percent of the seat's weight.
Initial reports of the problem arose in late January when Toyota issued a stop-sale order for 2013 and 2014 model year versions of those vehicles. The automaker says that there have no been reports of fires or injuries in the affected cars, and the problem was discovered during testing by the South Korean government, according to The Detroit News.
We've reached out to Toyota for comment on this development and are awaiting a reply. We'll update this post if and when we hear back.
