Looking for a new rig (1 Viewer)

[Tireguy87]

Hey guys I finally got a company truck and I am contemplating selling my personal truck because it just sits in the driveway. I have driven it maybe 3 times in the last month and I just can justify making payments on it moving forward. So with that being said, I think I'm going to start looking for an 80 or 100 series to play around with. If anyone has any leads please let me know. It would need to be worthy of being a daily driver which means I really don't want to go above 200,000. I know they can last longer but that's about my comfort level right now. Factory lockers would be great but not required. I'm surfing craigslist some but I wanted to let y'all know incase someone sees something worth looking at

There are some NICE ones on craigslist right now, but they seem a little high and are pushing your 200,000 miles limit. Still fun to look though.
This one is well over 200, but the price is right!

Dude- I'd start looking for a 100 series w/rear locker...v8 is tough to beat..

Real nice 2000 model 100 on CL in Tulsa w/176k miles. Very clean looking and the guy said he has all the service records.

I saw that one. I had the same thoughts. That's exactly what I'm after.

Bumping this up. The search is now in full swing. My white truck is sold and I'm officially without a personal vehicle (or a truck payment!) Decided I want a 100 series vs an 80 just for the V8 and potential of factory lockers depending on the year. Budget is $14k. I'm checking cargurus.com daily as well as local and surrounding state craigslist ads. If anyone knows of anything please let me know or post a link. I'd like to buy from a fellow cruiser head or forum member if possible because I know the maintenance will be up to date with someone of that caliber. I'm sure Joe Blow from off the street isn't as likely to keep up with the preventative maintenance or keep service records. This truck needs to be worthy of making a cross country trip with no issues.

Thanks for any leads guys. I wanted to act sooner but really needed to sell the truck to free up funds.

I'd exhaust the classifieds on mud...surely you'll find something...just try to practice some patience...I know it's difficult, but it'll pay off in the long run for sure. I think you're making the right choice with the 100 series...Good Luck to ya!

Don't forget to check Expo Portal too.

Edit: the mud link in that post says sold, but you get the idea.

I know nothing about his truck (other than seeing it), but Greg from Cottonland is/was selling his 100.

Any opinions on this one?

That is one nice rig! Price seems reasonable as well.

This one has a little body damage but only 96,000 miles. Great price for that low of miles. Looks like it needs a rear window...

I may be off base, but $7000 for a 3fe plus the body damage is a little steep, even with the low mileage. I would think that is more in the $4500 range, at best. Who knows though, someone may pay that price.

 

[Tireguy87]

Yeah I've come across it in my browsing. It does have low mileage but I think it's a little on the high side too.

I have decided that I'm basing my focus on 100 series only at this point.

Hey, here's that link to tacomaworld for the custom brakes I was talking about..

https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/amazing-deal-on-steel-braded-brake-lines-group-buy.97331/

I know it's for Tacomas but I've talked to him before and he said they can do any custom setup. I can get the email from the guy if you're interested.

Drove it this morning. Probably going to make a cash offer and see what happens. 90k maintenance done at 120k, clean exterior minus 1 little dent behind the front driver tire and a spot on the fender where the brush guard must have been loose and rubbed the paint off. Interior needs a good detail job but everything is functional. It's got a brand new set of tires on it. If one of y'all is free today, I'd love for someone to go by and give me a second opinion but I know that's a lot to ask.

Too many miles for me on that one.

 

[YotaJosh]

I'd take a look but 1) no time and 2) not super familiar with 100's other than web surfing.

Description on CL and yours leads me to believe it is a solid cruiser. Having the 90k service done is a good sign.
