Hey so since my trucks been stolen i've been looking for something to replace it incase i don't get it back, i wanted something newer and this just showed up. So what are your opinions for a price to offer and just what do you think from the description. I emailed the guy asking for some pictures and a price he wanted so if he replies i'll post the pics.

sounds pretty good, low mileage for it's year that's for sure. I'd bite on it.

Nimyad · « **Reply #2 on:** Jan 13, 2011, 07:08:26 AM »

Ya i was thinking that was pretty good mileage. How long does the 3.4 usually go for mileage wise?

TCBVince · « **Reply #3 on:** Jan 13, 2011, 09:54:25 AM »

I believe the 3.4 is one badass motor from what I heard. I couldnt see why you couldn't get 250,000 miles or better if you take care of it. I know they don't have problems like the 3.0 did.

Sweet. I emailed him again and i'm waiting for a call to go look at it. Its another 13 days until i can get insurance money if they don't find my truck

Sounds like a keeper. My uncles buddy had a 3.4 runner with over 300,000mi on the original engine!

yoshaleng · « **Reply #6 on:** Jan 13, 2011, 10:19:35 AM »

Previously owned a T100 with 3.4, bought it used with 60k and sold it with 240K. With 240k, it still ran like a champ! You'll be very happy with that motor. It definitely has whole lot more balls than the 3. slow.

Nimyad · « **Reply #7 on:** Jan 13, 2011, 10:31:00 AM »

Ya im used to a 22r so i bet it's a huge step up.

TCBVince · « **Reply #8 on:** Jan 13, 2011, 11:47:23 AM »

I got an 89 that I'm the original owner with an 3.0 v6 and I got 273,000 miles and it still runs like an champ. And there suppose to have head problems

Went and looked at it today, total POS, its amazing how some people neglect their vehicles. Looking at a SASed 94 now on 35s with a 22re

TCBVince · « **Reply #10 on:** Jan 14, 2011, 08:15:25 PM »

It was that bad!? Man people these days.

Nimyad · « **Reply #11 on:** Jan 14, 2011, 08:16:31 PM »

ya it was that bad. it had been wrecked and it smelled like you walked into a dive bar when you opened the door.
here's what im looking at now http://spokane.craigslist.org/cto/2160895005.html

bigarms23 · « **Reply #12 on:** Jan 14, 2011, 08:30:20 PM »

if it runs as good as it looks than buy the red truck

Nimyad · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 14, 2011, 08:52:14 PM »

ya it's got a little bit of body damage but not to bad. the kid dropped down to 5500 real quick but he wants money for college. it needs a better front driveline, brakelines, to be lowered about 4 inches, move the axle forward about 2-3 inches. im going to look at it again tomorrow.

yoshaleng · « **Reply #14 on:** Jan 14, 2011, 09:46:13 PM »

Not bad at all...price a little steep but definately doable.

Nimyad · « **Reply #15 on:** Jan 14, 2011, 09:57:33 PM »

Ya, im thinking i'll be lucky to scrape together 5k, hope he drops to like 4.5 or something, might go look sunday not tomorrow anymore

yoshaleng · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 14, 2011, 10:18:00 PM »

Hopefully everything works out for you...I'm pretty sure he'd let it go for atleast 5k.

oh yeah, any word on your 1st gen yet?

Nimyad · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 15, 2011, 07:03:26 PM »

I hope so.
Nope none at all, it's been 4 days and if we were going to find it the best chance was within 2 days so pretty low chance now sadly

yoshaleng · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 16, 2011, 12:46:38 AM »

Truly sorry to hear that..... $I\'m Down$

874runnertoys · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 16, 2011, 07:55:50 AM »

JoeWelder · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 16, 2011, 05:14:04 PM »

i hate thinking about my truck getting stolen!!
but years ago, my uncle had his 79 stolen out of bonney lake....they ended up finding it a couple weeks later and the people put new 35" tires and wheels, a tool box in the bed full of tools and my uncle got to keep it all!

Nimyad · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 16, 2011, 05:49:45 PM »

He's lucky. Been searching and talking to some buddies and apparetly my truck was the 3rd to be stolen in the past month, all the others were built yotas.
Went and lookednat the 94 again today, met on a price and picking it up tuesday if he doesn't back out, didn't put any money down but we shook on it and he said it was ours.

yoshaleng · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 16, 2011, 06:51:43 PM »

So much you getting it for?

Nimyad · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 16, 2011, 06:55:56 PM »

less then he wanted

talked him down to 4600

87hillbillyoter · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 16, 2011, 06:58:14 PM »

wow! thats a steal! and i hope you get your truck back, so then youd have 2 trucks! but i hope it comes back.

Nimyad · « **Reply #25 on:** Jan 16, 2011, 07:02:16 PM »

ya i think it's a good deal. i'd probably have to part out or sell my truck if i get it back to compensate for the new truck, it's most likely completely gone by now though, it's been 5 days without a sign of it.

crawling209 · « **Reply #26 on:** Jan 17, 2011, 06:26:00 PM »

Go for it....sound like good deal...I paid 3k for a stock 91 22re w/ 140k...

yoshaleng · « **Reply #27 on:** Jan 17, 2011, 06:53:43 PM »

When are you bringing her home or is it home already?

Nimyad · « **Reply #28 on:** Jan 17, 2011, 06:56:21 PM »

ya all stock trucks were around 3k and had 200k plus miles. for anything between 90 and 95.
im bringing her home tomorrow afternoon, i'll post up some pics as soon as i can. putting in some kill switches and maybe an alarm before i start DD it though.

yoshaleng · « **Reply #29 on:** Jan 17, 2011, 07:09:16 PM »
