Here is my first Toyota pickup ever, a 1996 T100 w/53K orig.

miles. I was looking for a full size domestic pickup to replace my 4X4 Yukon and came across this truck. I always liked the T100 of all the Toy trucks. The Tacoma is too small for me and the Tundra is so big and guzzles gas I figured why buy one of those when I can get a big ol' full size Chevy/Dodge/Ford that gets the same MPGs? I looked at several T100s during the past year and a half but every one had way over 100K miles on it and the owner wanted way to much $$$ in my opinion. I was not expecting to find a T100 in this condition.

I bought this truck Aug. 2006. Yup, believe it or else, only 53K. The guy I bought it from is an older guy he hardly ever drove this one, never towed with it, never off-road with it, and was extremely meticulous with everything! It is bone stock and like new and I really like it.

Tires are new 31x10.5 15 Firestone Destination A/T's. They are very meaty and very quiet on the highway. The rims look like stock chromed steel. 8lugnuts's 1996 Toyota T100 Appomattox, VA - 6

Special thanks to Line-X of Central, VA, these guys did an outstanding job on the bedliner. I am considering doing this with the underside.

The interior is spotless. I like bench seats but this one is a bit low to the floor and thin for my big frame. I plan to beef it up a bit and lift it an inch or two. Any ideas would be appreciated. I do not want buckets. Stereo is stock cassette...this will be upgraded immediately.

The truck has no dents and only some very minor, small dings. Even the bed is straight.

This truck below is not mine but I put it here because I want to get a truck cap similar to this one, one that matches my paint color. Leer has a factory here in Central VA so I should be able to get one for a reasonable price. I want a high lift cap.

I have not decided on mods yet but I know for certain I will be getting a push bar, you need one down here in Central VA unless you like deer ornaments. I plan to wear these tires out and will decide whether or not I will change the rims and size. I know I have plenty of places now to look for ideas. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
