    If it’s a 4x4, you got a great deal. At almost 100k, I’d be doing all the fluids/filters. Lower ball joints can also been an issue so you might be looking at those as well, especially running a lift with bigger tires.

    Depending on what your current ones look like, a lot of times, just some new/fresh aftermarket assemblies will make a big difference. Over time, the original ones get dull/yellowed which makes it hard for light to shine through. You can also look into LED/HID replacement bulbs as well which will be a big improvement over stock halogen setup. Some, like myself and others go as far as retro fitting a projector to get optimum light output without blinding oncoming traffic.

    I’m going to venture to guess it’s a 2wd SR5 the way OP has ignored everyone asking that question. :notsure:

    Looks very similar to mine. Lift, 2 tone seats, mine are suede where the grey is. I have a Waltrip. Go to account.toyota.com
    you can create a login. Punch in the vin and it'll give ya the model and any service history they have if they did the work.

    That thing is clean! Timing belt done already would give me confidence that the previous owner cared about the vehicle. So many of these trucks around on the original belt. Its an expensive job though

    What I meant was when you create an account and login it will tell you if it's a "thunder" which I don't think exists, Waltrip Edition, Sr5, Limited etc. Wasn't for maintenance records, that's just an added bonus. It's your problem now you already bought it lol. Lucky for you this is a pretty awesome group of guys/gals majority of the time and quite entertaining in the same. So, if you have a problem or questions there is usually good help. Welcome!

    That’s what I was wandering it’s real and obviously exists it’s in my garage not sure if Toyota did it or someone else did it but all the interior plastic parts are silver where all others are black or a wood look I believe that had to be factory made Right maybe it was made for someone ? I think it’s one of a kind that being said is it worth more or less I would think more it has tags on the fenders and bed that say thunder alsowhen I looked it up it says sr 5 but it’s definitely nice either way just looking for info thought someone may have come across this before

    Thanks for adding the pics! I'd say you got a pretty good deal, frame looks relatively rust free from that pic. Great looking truck, congrats!

    I've never seen a "Thunder edition. Looks good, definitely not factory. I'm guessing a dealership put that package together. Someone probably added the body lift later.

    I agree with the lift tires rims and bed cover being after thoughts but how’s a stealership get silver plastic trim on the inside around cup holders window and lock bezels console and the steering wheel Which is very nice. do dealers do that. I guess that is my question if no one had seen another one I’ll call the original dealer to see

    Yup. I'll take some soon and add them. The weather sucks here and my seats are covered in wet okoles and they're not a quick in and off.
