2005 Tundra Doublecab SR5 4x4

Tough to price this thing, as comparable trucks are rare. I've seen 2wd access cabs with 200K go for $8K, so $10,500 is my starting point.
Leather seats
Limited-slip differential
BFG KO2’s 275/70 R17
I bought this truck with 120,0000 miles in 2014. Six years and 130,000 miles later it still runs like the day I bought it. It has been garage keep the entire time I have owned the truck, and there is not an ounce of rust on it. No leaks of any kind, nearly everything works perfect. The one exception is the automatic doors locks on the front two doors. It never bothered me to use the key instead, so I never messed with it. I have replaced just about every part that wears out over time. Wheel bearings, steering rack bushings, inner and outer tie rods, sway bar end links, center support bearing on the drive shaft. Timing belt replaced at about 225,000 miles. Transmission, brake, and differential fluids have been replaced within the last three years. Just replaced the tailgate support cables.
Mods
Kenwood headunit with new Kenwood speakers. Not high-end, but better than stock
Sound deadener with Ensolite in all the doors and rear wall
Wet Okole seat covers up front with lumber support and gun pockets
LED lights in the rear bumper with separate dash switch
Weathertech floormats front and rear
Bilsteen 5100’s shocks – front leveled
BAMuffler with side exhaust – has a very smooth rumble to the exhaust note
Torsion bar in the tailgate to make it lighter – good for the wives
Air-induction bypass module in hand, but not installed. I bought it in case I needed it but haven’t.
I have the side steps. They need a bit of clean up, but otherwise fine.
Also has a Softtopper camper for the bed. It is slightly bent, but still works to keep things in the bed dry. Replacement parts can be ordered at www.softtopper.com.
Issues
Windshield has two cracks in it. Does not affect visibility or the ability to be inspected
Automatic door locks in the front two doors
Drivers side rear drum brake has a vibration and probably needs to be resurfaced
The driver side wheel arch has a scuff in the paint and there are a few rock chips in the hood
This has been a great truck and has never let me down. The only reason I am selling it is because I got the Landcruiser bug (thanks, ih8mud), and just bought a 2003 Lexus LX470 with 260,000 miles. It has the same engine as this Tundra, so as you can tell there is no reason to worry about miles on the engine. With regular maintenance, there is no reason this truck won’t hit 400,000+ miles.
