    Hi guys,
    sadly the Tundra had quite a few issues, one of it being massive frame rust... I guess the guy took it to the beach a few times.
    Furthermore no information about any service done to the truck, timing belt, and so on...
    The Interior was clean.
    Since parts are hard to come by will let this one slide...
    I Will update as soon as another one shows up...

    Are 1st gens or even 07's and up hard to find there? Keep looking! It's probably around noon there now. How do you search there? Local ads?
