This is the last year of the solid single axle. This vehicle is thought of by most as the height of the Toyota truck design. Super reliable and unstoppable. I went from a 2007 tacoma 4x4 to this and was amazed at how more i enjoyed this. The only reason i'm selling it is that i have a family of 4 and don't have much time to go off road or haul material any more.
It has a cracked rear tail light these are $19 at car quest. I purchased a new tailgate handle but haven't yet installed it. I currently have the tail gate inside "cover" unscrewed so i can manually open the gate. I just put a new alternator in about 3 weeks ago as well as put new coolant in. The alternator has a lifetime warranty.
The carb makes a whistle at idle but goes away when you give it gas. The noise goes away when you push lightly on the top of the carb so it's just one of the weber adapter seals. The seal kits are sold on ebay for under $20. I tried to tighten the 4 bolts a little and the noise isn't as loud. The bed has some holes near the tailgate where an old owner left a bag of cement over the winter. It's pretty minor, i was going to weld a little sheet metal in and rhino line the bed and it would look new but i haven't done it yet.
This is a great vehicle for someone who has the time to enjoy it, i wish i could hold onto it for when that day comes again. I changed the registration to antique because i was going to garage it and make it really pretty but my plans have changed. So if it's going to be your daily driver you need to get normal plates.
The suspension was lifted probably about 2 inches? I don't know exactly how high these were when stock but it looks very good and rides well. I was told by a mechanic friend that the lift was "done the right way". The previous owner was a semi truck driver who rebuilt cars in his free time. He had the engine ported, polished and honed. It probably has less than 3000 miles since then.
The tires are BFG and were new a few months before the engine was rebuilt so they look basically new. The wheels are nice alloys. Tire size is BFG KO 33x10.5 R15 High load, Mud and Snow rated. These are awesome tires and cost roughly $1000 from less schwab.
The locking hubs are the warn metal selectors.
Optional items you can also get if you want:
Aluminum diamond plate tool box locking with side pneumatic 'wing' doors $70
Stainless steel ladder rack $140
The weber carb gives it a lot of power. My new vehicle is a VW Vanagon and i really wish i had the Toyota engine and drive train in that vehicle.

Toyota issues stop sale on 6 key models over seat fabrics; recall possible? [UPDATE]
Thu, 30 Jan 2014Toyota has issued a stop-sale order on six of its core models due to concerns about the flammability of certain seat fabrics. The issue rests not with the cloth and leather covers themselves, but with a piece of seat heater beneath them that fails to meet US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for flame retardancy.
There have been no reports of fires or injuries from the affected cars, which include some of Toyota's biggest volume sellers. 2013 and 2014 Camry, Camry Hybrid, Avalon and Sienna models equipped with heated seats are included in the stop-sale, as are 2014 Tundra pickups and Corolla sedans. The exact number of vehicles with the non-compliant materials are still being tabulated, according to The Detroit Free Press.
According to a Toyota spokesman, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been notified, although it remains to be seen if a recall will be issued. Outside of a full recall, though, it's unclear how Toyota will deal with vehicles equipped with the flammable materials that have already found homes.
130,000 Toyota Tundra pickups recalled over airbag issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Toyota is announcing a recall for about 130,000 examples of the 2014 Tundra Tundra pickup in Crew-Max Cab and Double Cab configurations.
According to the company, the "garnish on the center pillars" inside the trucks might not have been installed correctly. If the vehicle were in an accident, the side curtain airbags could deploy in the wrong shape. Toyota says that it's not aware of any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this potential problem.
To fix the issue, the pickups will have their interior center pillars inspected, and if faulty, the pieces will be replaced. Obviously, this will be done at no cost to owners. Scroll down to read the full announcement.
PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
