    Hello. I've come over from Tacomaworld. Been there years. I've been driving Toyota trucks since my 1979 SR5, I bought in 1980. My daily driver is a 2019 Tacoma dbcb Sport 4x4.
    The very particular truck Ive been looking for sometime has become available. Ill be checking it out on Monday. Though I'm pretty up on Tacomas, I'll reach out to you all about Tundras. What particular problems should I look for. The truck is a 2006 Access Cab, 4x4 with 128K. I'm waiting on emailed CarFax & Autochek.
    Thanks.

    What part of the country are you in? If this 4x4 AC is in a no-salt state, then it may be gone come Monday. These access cabs go FAST when they are lower miles and good condition. I had to jump on the one I bought within an hour of it listing by a private party, 12 people in line behind me within the next 12 hours when I picked it up. I missed a chance on several others by waiting 24 hours, before finding this one. But actually, I am glad since I bought the nicest of the bunch. Mine was a one-family (grandfather to father hand-off) truck from the Southwest with complete maintenance records. :thumbsup:

    ^^ Yep, frame rust. Also be sure the timing belt was completed at 90k miles, if not it is overdue.

    Good luck in your hunt.
