The time has come to make room for my next project, which means I'll be parting with this awesome southern truck
I built this 100 series to climb the most challenging trails that Uwharrie and other trails have to offer. This 100 series is a Triple (3x) locked trail and rock crawl ready rig. She has the legendary and strong 2UZ-FE V8 engine with folks documented as surpassing 1,000,000 miles with proper maintenance (google “tundra million miles”); She’s 340k.
The Good: Everything - she’s a smooth and complete trail-ready ride with all the kinks worked out which I daily drive and regularly offroad. She’s been registered and spent most of her life in the Carolinas (North and South Carolina). Previous ownerships have been all within the last extended family. She has super comfortable seats that I’l miss.
The Bad?: The rear drivers window needs a new or refurbished motor if desired. The leather overall is 20 years worn but pretty decent considering the use it’s got - the drivers seat is the worst off and it’s only slightly ripped a bit - I just threw $20 seat covers over the front seats and she looks great. The hood and roof have some sun damage from her days in South Carolina, There are plenty of tree/brush trail marks and dings down the sides as would be expected for something that’s actually taken off road; I call that character
