    I've been looking for a decent 1st Gen Tundra for a while - and it's tough up here in the rust belt. I'm in the Pittsburgh, PA area. But, one followed me home this week!

    2005 SR5, 145,xxx miles.
    Interior is very clean.
    Frame was replaced under recall and is in decent shape - but I'll clean it up this summer and get it oiled next fall.
    All the front end suspension component are nearing the end of their lives and will likely need to be replaced....soon.
    Paint is flaking off of the aluminum wheels...I'm thinking I might paint them matte black.
    Previous owner replaced a lot of hoses/cooler lines/break lines under the hood.

    See you around,
    R

    Sorry @OHwendTrd my wife has been traveling so I'm a single parent this week...this is the only one I took so far.
    It needs some TLC, but I get her cleaned up.
    There are a few rust spots on the front fender you can see that need to be cleaned up, and the paint is coming off of the wheels....I'll probably paint the wheels black.

    :thumbsup: Nice looking truck. Like the style and size of the first gen, I would have one as a daily if my truck was closer to being paid off. On the wheels, considered aftermarket or having them refinished? Not sure black would do your rig justice, many folks seem to be shying away from black wheels these days.
