Hello and wow, that is the cleanest two-tone Cruiser I have ever seen! That combo is my ideal dream Cruiser. Wish I were you :)
Don't even tell me how much you paid for it cause if you did I would cry. (Im sure you got a good deal I hope)
 
So here is an update on what I think, what I have gotten, and what I paln to get..
I am really impressed at the feel and road manners of this vehicle. At first I thought the seat was too close but I feel good in it now. I love the visibility out of this thing and the fish bowl feel of the front windshield. I am still getting used to things slipping and sliding on the leather seats. But surprisingly my but stays put pretty well.
So today I went and bought a sun visor since Summer is almost here although here in SoCal we are already in the gloom and it will probably be here through June. I bought a wide angle rearview mirror because I think the stock one is too small. Never used one of these before and I am going to put it on for my drive home from work. I will let you know if I like it. I also bought a neat Case logic junk organizer with a cooler for the very back. It has two compartments on each sied of a soft cooler. It all colapses and folds up. If I don't like it then I will get an organizer that hangs from the back of the seats off of eBay. And this Sunday I plan to clean up the grease under the truck so I can start off fresh and see if there are any current leaks. I also need to still pick-up the records at the Toyota dealer next week so I can document all the shop visits and know what's really up...
So once I have the records I can then take it into the shop and if it comes out with a clean bill of health as I am expecting then it will be time for a 2.5" OME lift (probably medium) and BFG MT's
 
Looks great!

Welcome to our sick little world...

I just paid $3.14 for gas tonight and I still don't want to sell mine :)


edit: Just looked at the pics in the link and noticed your steering wheel is on upside down. You might want to have that looked at.......:grinpimp:

If it is any consolation I just paid $3.49 for regular at the cheapest station in town. I agree with you, I would still never sell mine. :D
 
So now I am bumming. I drove my Happy A$$ up to Carlsbad Toyota to get the history on my new rig and I was denied. After being told over the phone that all I had to do was come in they made me talk to a manager and he said that he could get sued for giving me the records of past owners. I might try again next time I am up that way and not give them the whole story that I just bought it. Just say I lost my records and I just want documentation incase I sell it.
 
If you show them your current registration with your name and the VIN # they should not have denied you.
 
Clean rig, looks nice. I think the chrome wheels were a dealer option. Usually they also replaced the Toyota center caps with cheapo Made in Taiwan chrome repros to match.

Anyway, it won't matter, right, `cause soon those bling wheels will be replaced by black 17" Rock Crawlers wrapped in 37" mud tires, right? Right? ;)
 
Nice find and nice truck. Looks so clean and no pesky roof rack.

Yeah, I had my registration but the manager said that he could only give the records to each individual owner who had it during the time of those services. Complete B.S. I am sure, maybe they will sing a different tune if I take it up there for it's first service?
