All -
Just a quick update on the truck. I had one serious buyer back out which means the truck is still for sale. Also, in the meantime I found out that I am relocating to the D.C. area; which means that I actually need to sell my truck now. I agreed with the other buyer on a price of $25,000 for the truck, so the price has been lowered to $25,000. He also requested a compression check on the engine. while it was at my mechanic I had the following preventive maintenance performed:
1. Oil changed
2. Cooling system flush - Toyota Red
3. New Thermostat and gasket installed
4. Fan clutch replaced
5. Belts replaced
6. Brakes checked and E-Brake inspected - all in spec.
7. Power Steering inspected - all in spec.
8. I also had the fusible link replaced
9. Rear differential factory dash light checked - the bulb was not seated properly
Compression numbers as follows:
Cylinder 1 - 180psi
Cylinder 2 - 170psi
Cylinder 3 - 180psi
Cylinder 4 - 175psi
Cylinder 5 - 175psi
Cylinder 6 - 174psi
So, whoever gets this truck just had $1,300 of preventive maintenance performed by a Toyota/Lexus Master Technician...not too shabby.
In addition, I picked up the wheels from Ricks Powdercoating and they are awesome:
The powdercoating came in a little lower than expected so, I am lowering the price of the wheels to $2,300 for five. These things are the baddest 80 series wheels out there...period.
PM if you are interested.
