We bought this earlier in the year with the intention to make it the family hauler. A deal on a new minivan came up that we couldn't pass up so we've got to let this go. I've personally done an absolutely massive amount of work to this to get it family-ready. The body and frame is totally rust free except above the windshield, (see photos). It started life in Florida then has been in Colorado pretty much ever since. The truck has brand new accumulators and the AHC system works amazing and the rig rides like a magic carpet. New timing belt/water pump/TONS of other stuff in the list below. It has a pretty nice set of BFG all-terrains as well. The A/C is amazing and I installed a hands-free Bluetooth system so it's got the normal creature comforts. The retro GPS works great but probably hasn't been updated since 2008 so it won't have some of the newly-built roads in the database. Power mirrors, seats, windows, etc all work. I wouldn't hesitate to hop in and drive across the country. Clean CO title ready to go. VIN JTJHT00W513500876
List of work completed in the last year:

+ lots more from the previous owner
Issues that aren't a big deal but might want to be fixed:
-Front diff bushing clunk from R to D (very common issue with 100 series)
-CDL light stays on whether unlocked or locked (center diff lock still works perfectly) it's a switch on the transfer case that's hard to get to so I haven't worried about it. Replacement included
-Minor oil leak from PS front axle seal
Things I would not care about personally but I'll mention anyway:
-Missing cone/washer on 1 of the front drive flanges
-Roof rack cap missing
-Broken hub cap
-The vehicle was repainted a different color than original (gold vs grey) generally looks good
-Peeling clear coat on roof and some small rust bubbles above windshield (per above)
-Rattle in roof which I haven't pinned down
-Common 100 series/LX wind noise (windshield was replaced by previous owner, but it wasn't done correctly. I have a set of the correct OEM Toyota rivets that can be installed to fix this
-Front seat has some covers that aren't great but the seats still work
-Usual 2UZ exhaust tick
-Rear heater bypassed by previous owner
