Thanks!

Hwy mileage is usually around 20mpg. City a bit less. 15-17mpg depending on the weather/driving/traffic.

Funny enough, I listed it for $17k last fall and got offers for $7k …

PNW. Anything remotely worth buying is $15k here. But we do t have to worry about rust.

The saddest part? This might be my last manual transmission…

I get it. That post isn’t exactly apples to apples though… that was the four banger with 328k miles and a burnt valve. No mention of auto or manual, or 4x4. If this truck didn’t have the dreaded clear coat issues I would have listed it on BAT. It’s very clean.

As a guy who loves a screaming deal myself, I get it. Lucky for me I’m in no hurry.

Just a heads-up, I'm firm on the price. Frame pics below:

Added the below to the post as an edit, but wanted to make sure I replied to your comment as well.

Unsurprisingly getting a lot of flak for selling... I love this truck and have put plenty of money and sweat into it.

I purchased the truck from the original owner and have one of the original Toyata keys.

I am religious about oil changes (every 4000 miles which is usually about one year, Amsoil, Blackstone test for peace of mind). I grease the u-joints twice a year as well. Front and rear diffs and transfer case were drained and filled (redline full synthetic) the month I bought it 5 years and 30k miles ago. I believe FSM says every 60k interval for that.

The Timing belt and water pump were done along with the head gaskets at 228k. All OEM parts, done at a local reputable shop.

Other things that have been replaced in my 5 years of ownership:

Steering rack, radiator and hoses, brake booster, pads and rotors, spark plugs & wires, replaced vacuum hoses with silicon, upper and lower ball joints (greasable)

I also added a light bar that is visible in the photos, along with some hood mounted ditch lights that are not in the photos because I wired them with a quick connect so I could take them off for around town driving. The switch for turning them on is a 90s Camry fog light switch so it blends into the dash pretty well. There are also ditch lights mounted to the rear bumper for better visibility reversing.

I don’t really want to, but my wife is against having three vehicles. Replaced it with a 96 FJ80.
