Not sure what your price range is, but here is what is currently available on the Fresno area Craigslist for under $5k.  I think there were about five from the SA yrs and several IFS rigs to choose from as well.

[longlesstoy]

are you apposed to having an IFS rig and doing the solid axle swap?

[sparkys83yota]

what are you looking to spend? Are you wanting to buy a built rig or build it yourself?

[renegade84 [OP]]

right now all i have to spend is 2200 not really looking for any thing built just some thing that is taged an runs good dont really care about body to much or interior

[renegade84 [OP]]

not really apposed just don't have the equipment to do a SAS

Is this your first 4x4, or do you have previous trail experience?

What type of wheeling do you plan/expect to be doing the most, i.e., excursions and up to level 3 trails, or level 4 trails and all out rock crawling?

This one here might be worth taking a look Toyota 4x4 - $2000 (Clovis).

If you have someone who can help/teach you auto repair, this could be a good starter rig,Toyota 4x4 Won't Pass Smog (Chowchilla).  Depending on its condition, it should be worth somewhere between $500(dirty needing TLC) and $1500(really clean), maybe a little more if it has a lot of extras.

[renegade84 [OP]]

its my first toyota but im not new to the 4x4 scene. we go up to shaver alot. but i really need it for a daily driver / project.
 thanks for the price advise

[renegade84 [OP]]

Still looking if anyone knows of any Toyotas for sale in or around the Fresno area

Depending on how far you are willing to drive, there are a few w/in your price range on cragslist.com

I would think anything under $3500 would be worth looking at even though it is beyond your $2200 price range, you don't know how desperate some of the sellers might be.

You guys got better prices on used rigs than up here in the PNW.  Alot of those rigs listed in the CG ads, would go for at least $5000 or more.  When I was looking, they wanted $2000 for really beat up rigs.  I mean beat up!!!

That is one of the benefits of living in CA, when you have 50 million plus cars on the road, no ones car is worth that much.  Prior to mid-'07 Toys had a much higher value.  I was easily able to get $1500-2K over blue book value for clean a little more than stock 4x4's, but the last one I sold it was hard to get $2500(blue book), the stupid money was gone.  I ended up selling it  to a guy in Idaho, who was more than happy to buy it basically site unseen.
