Book of receipts from prior owner that shows work like starter replacement, replaced manifolds. New tires from discount tire 11/2020

Regarding mileage- neighbor says speedometer went out in December 2020. I show a receipt from Toyota dealer on December 12 2020 where mileage was 229468. It was diagnosed the console needed replacement. I bought the truck a sourced a new console off eBay with 177k miles. I swapped it in and while more lights worked (AHC) speedometer didn’t. Turns out the truck just needed a new speedometer sensor at the transfer case. Swapped that in 5 minutes and speedometer worked, cel was gone.

I have receipt from when I got inspection done in January 2021 where truck showed 178282 miles. (No cel) current mileage shows 189k. Actual mileage is between 240-250 which is why I posted 250kish

Took off running boards but still have them if buyer prefers

Paint is called Pearl white. Good shape.

Interior is clean, everything works. Climate control buttons can act sticky.
Nakamichi radio. Cassette and cd doesn’t work. I use Bluetooth to stream music.

All interior lights work. Replaced the bulbs even for heated seat indicator and gear indicator

I gave away the 3rd row seats. Just a large space back there. It’s clean. I am taking the truck camping so I’ll actually wash it

Rear seats

Of course everyone wants to see undercarriage photos. Not sure what to capture, so I put the truck in high and rolled a creeper under.
If I missed an angle or something folks want to see, let me know. It’s a clean southern truck that hasn’t seen abuse or Offroad

Have repair manuals

Even owners manual and original sticker

How is your opinion ok those nilight driving lights?

Paid $150 for the lights and they work AWESOME. We found ourselves on the road later than originally planned when driving between destinations in Colorado. The nilight were amazing to light up the road and identify wildlife well before we got to them. Of course, can't keep them running for oncoming traffic. Only down side - when you switch them off, the Factory headlights seemed like a dim candle.

I bought the LX from Goforth and can attest to the brightness of those lights. I run some LED's in my Jeep LJ that I thought were bright until I hit the switch to the ones in the LX.....

I was looking at some stedi driving lights but man If I can save 300-400 for the set that would be awesome. The stedi are nicer but are around 400-500 vs 115 for the nilights on Amazon.

I gauge everything by what my real world applications are. The are great for the stuff I do, but I was a true overlander going for extended periods where lighting could make or brake the trip I would upgrade. Kinda like the red dots on some of my black rifles, I'm not kicking doors in at 2am running NVGs betting my life on my gear, so a $150 red dot works just as well for me as a $1K red dot...
