This might make the list as well. Be nice to have a cap on a sidewalk crew truck. Be a pain if hauling firewood. Sounds like an older gentleman over the phone. Sounds very straight forward. I felt zero shifty business like the other Toyota. Just a solid truck with same owner (second owner) since 2005. Bit more comforting buying off someone like this.

Picked up the green ext cab with a cap tonight. Drives out nice. I think it will serve our needs well. Be a good firewood/deer hauler/sidewalk crew truck. Nice to have something to jump in that isn't lettered as well. Should make a fine little parts fetcher as well.

It isn't red. Buckmaster will just have to deal with it I guess. . . .

Long story short. Truck caught fire. She gone.

The thought of rebuilding is there. I did buy it back from the insurance company. Just not sure I have the heart to do it right now. Nor do I have the time. This fire really sort of took the wind out of my sail.

Fast forward to today. I have been kicking around picking up a different truck just to use for my sidewalk crews. It would also serve as a parts fetching truck, firewood hauler, etc. I think I might go a different direction. Maybe I will buy a smaller truck than initially planned. I am going to look at this truck in the morning. He told me $1800 obo tonight. Brand new tires 2wks ago. Engine and transmission "allegedly" rebuilt 50k miles ago. Typical Yota rust but not terrible given the age. Guess I will know more after I look at it.

Timing was perfect. We got the truck home then we were hit with all the ice. 1/4-1/2" totals to be exact. Having the 4x4 was critical. Our 2wd Colorado just sat there which is likely all that would have happened if we attempted to drive it. LIkely a lot of spinning tires and getting stuck on ice and any grades. Next challenge will be this week when I top it off with firewood to haul to my parents house. I'm curious to see how well it carries a load of wood. I'm not expecting it to handle it like an F550, but I am hoping it doesn't squat terribly bad.
