157,xxx miles, 2000, absolutely ZERO rust whatsoever

Honestly not that bad, not a ton of body damage and bumper seems straight to me.

The further I get into it the less I think it had an issue with the water pump. The fan bracket pulley locked up and threw off the serpentine belt. I'm thinking they mistook the fan pulley for the water pump, as it was full of coolant when I bought it.

Yes sir

It appears that they are also out of stock It appears that they are also out of stock

Since I've got to replace my water pump, I figure I should go ahead and replace the timing belt while I'm in there, so I was wondering who makes the best kit and where to buy it. I have heard that the Aisin kit is the best, but rock auto is sold out and the one listed on amazon says it won't...

I plan to keep this somewhat long term, as I've always wanted one. They've always just been a little out of my price range until now.

No rust, a whole lot of deferred maintenance, fair condition, and I'm doing 100% of the work myself.

Yes, I drove it on the trailer. Was just a little difficult because no power steering.

Hey, I don't really know a lot about toyota 4x4 stuff (I'm more of an USDM guy), but I just saw this thing listed for $3200 and it needed a water pump and serpentine belt. Ended up paying $3000 for it. I know these are worth more than that when fixed but I am wondering how well I did on price?
