Getting the Wheeling Fever
Earlier this year I sold my First Gen and have been regretting that decision since. It was nice to haul stuff around with and also running down back roads without worry was nice. Today I purchased it's replacement a 95 LS.

Per the CL ad:

260K miles Runs and starts fine
Body and Interior are in Fair condition
Needs an alignment and 2 new tires and she's good to go
4WD Still works perfectly
Recently replaced all shocks, ball joints, tie rods, and the alternator.


After inspection the motor spins over like a top and idles nice and smooth. Alternator and battery are brand new, and everything under the hood appears to be fairly clean. There's a puff of smoke signaling some oil burning, but it's not completely terrible. Would be great if it's just valve seals, but not sure and the 3.0 from my first gen looks a lot different than this one at least the upper intake does. Suspension feels decent, but needs tires and an alignment. I didn't take any pics but here's some from the ad until I can get it picked up tomorrow evening.

Going to need a few interior parts. If anyone has any of these I'd like an opportunity to purchase.

Passenger front door panel lower trim in Gray.

Vents and trim for center vent controls.

[Linked Image]

Ash tray cover thing.

[Linked Image]

Terrible pic, but the button that covers the driver side door pull.

[Linked Image]

Is there some sort of trim that should go over these in the cargo area? I need one for both sides if possible.

[Linked Image]

Also one of the rectangly squarish trim covers by the steering wheel? Notice the sweet push button ignition.

[Linked Image]

[Linked Image]

Also I have some floppy mirrors. Looks like whatever was attaching it broke off in the corners.

[Linked Image]

[Linked Image]

I've got 3 broken door lock knobs and 1 missing knob trim.

[Linked Image]

I'll post some overall shots as I get things organized and clean, but for now was hoping to locate some of the missing parts.

Also looking for parts for the rear door inner handle that triggers the latch? I don't feel anything, just a cavity.

Nice buy. In case you don't find all those parts through the 'wire, also check car-part.com for a used one (sold by individual parts yards).

FWIW, they may not list the actual part by name so it may be better to just see which yards on there have a Gen II w/ a gray interior.

HTH!

I'll take a look at that and see if anything pops up. More than anything I would like to get the mirrors functional, door locks usable, and the rear cargo door working.

This is what the rear latch looks like.

Been mounting these up today, alignment tomorrow.

The BEFORE shot that I took last night. The drivers side tires were pitiful. I'll have to snap a pic or two in a minute when I get the last one mounted. It's silly hot out right now..

Old tires.

Newer tires on some Tacoma rims. 245 75 16

Eventually I'd like to get some 235 85 16 but these will do for the time being.
