    Hey all,

    Just coming over from tacoma world and into the Tundra world. Im currently looking for a first gen and have come across a few that might work for myself. Could anyone help me with a few that i have found. Will post links below. I know the important stuff is the timing belt every 100k and the water pump. All 3 of these i would need to drive to get so wanted to ask here first before i make the drive or if its even worth my time. Thanks!

    Welcome. READ THIS THREAD FIRST!!! It was written JUST FOR YOU :)

    No frame pics. Looks good on the outside.
    Looks clean. WE'd need to see the frame. The only pic that shows a small frame section looks okay, but it was drilled into. Maybe for airbags:notsure:
    I like this one the best as it's unmodested. Again, we'd need to see the frame.
    Not enough pics to give an opinion.

    The two from Cali coast cars sent me a video of the frame and they both looked clean from what I could tell. I specifically asked over the phone. Still don’t really know what I’m looking at so if possible, maybe I could send you the videos over text or Facebook
