    That's NorthEast PA for you folks unfamiliar. :)

    Really old coot here (83) but new to Tundra. I've been a Toyota fan for a long time, my baby is a 2001 4Runner that I've had for 12 years now that I use for everything including snowplowing. Last week I stumbled on to a 2001 Tundra SR5 Access Cab 4WD with a documented 99, 181 miles on it and a fairly recently Toyota installed new frame under it. The rest of the truck is like new and it drives like a dream.

    A little about me, I spent nearly 25 years in the auto business as a line mechanic/shop foreman/service mgr before going back to school and getting a computer science degree. Went to work for a div of Dun&Bradstreet followed by a few years as an independent computer trouble shooter for Fortune 500 companies. Fully retired 20 years now and love it.

    You can do anything with a 4Runner! I've plowed up to 18" with it. Even pulled a stuck UPS box truck off the ice with it! :)
    But, she ain't stock, Tundra brakes, aux tranny cooler, and much more.

    I think you found a truck in the exact same spec as mine. Same color in and out. Great find. Make sure the timing belt has been done and enjoy it.

    You didn't travel to Nebraska to buy that truck did you? There was one for sale in Omaha, same color, nearly identical mileage a few weeks ago. I'm kicking myself for not moving in it. Guy only wanted $10,000 for it, which is a steal in my area. Wondering if you scored it.

    Nice truck! Welcome!

    Getting very hard to find them in that condition with low mileage. Best color for the first generation Tundras too in my opinion.
