    Vehicle:
    1998 Tacoma SR5 Manual
    1998 Toyota Tacoma SR5 3.4L V6
    Tan interior, Extended Cab, Alpine CD Player.
    Eibach 620 lbs Front Coil with AllPro Offroad Expedition Leafs Rear
    Front and Rear Bilstein 5100s
    ToyTech 1 Inch Shackles in rear.
    Overall lift is about 3.25" Inches in the front and 4" in the rear.
    Lift was put on April of 2015, still in great shape and I have the paperwork.
    The lift and tires ride perfectly, like stock, and the front and rear are rated for heavier loads.
    I got the heavier rear shackles to support the weight of the CVT Rooftop Tent and bed bars in the rear.
    The front will support a heavier bumper and winch which I had considered doing down the road.
    Ride is comfortable and responsive, there is no bump steer and the car is aligned perfectly.
    Also, I bought the 4Runner factory 5 spoke wheels and mounted 285/75 R16 BFGoodrich All Terrain tires to them and they ride really well. Probably down to about 60% tread left.
    The timing belt was last done at 150K miles and I have paperwork for that and some other items of maintenance.
    The brakes are in great shape, no slippage in the clutch and the transfer case shifts perfectly.
    Everything on the truck works perfectly.
    I have the original owners manual and keys. I do not however have the keys for the bed box.
    I would consider throwing in the CVT Mount Shasta Rooftop tent in the picture with the annex (not pictured) and the bed bars for an additional $1,250. The tent was over $1,500 and the bed bars were about $250 and are both basically brand new. This would be a perfect setup for anyone considering a rooftop tent or Westfalia or VW Van.
    If I remember correctly I am the third owner and it had a clean carfax when I bought it. The first owner had it for the majority of its life.
    Overall the truck is in great shape and hasn't been offroaded or beaten up on. I thought I would use it more but when we had our daughter I have less time to use it and it sits in the driveway more than it should. It is a third car for us so we are posting it up for sale.

    Asking $8,000 and I am fairly firm on the price. I feel that with the quality of the lift and its condition, it is already priced fairly.

    I hate to be a needy buyer, but I'm located in Texas and I'd really like to see the entire truck in pictures before making a more serious consideration.
    Can you take pictures of the front and rear of the truck, as well as the engine bay? Maybe the bed as well without the CVT mounted?

    Thanks!
