Selling my 2002 doublecab. Located in Salt Lake City, Utah
2002 Toyota Tacoma Doublecab
230k miles - mostly freeway, aren't they always mostly freeway?
This is how a taco should be built. I've had 3 tacos, 3 3rd gen 4runners, and many other toyotas. This is the perfect balance between a streetable rig and a capable crawler.
clean title, no accidents
4-door tacoma
3.4L v6
auto transmission
4wd
extremely well maintained, needs nothing
5.29s front and rear, with both diffs completely rebuilt with new bearings and seals
arb front locker
TRD elocker rear axle
custom rear bumper
stock front bumper
bentup sliders
rear frame reinforcement plates
35" KM2s on 17" aluminum tundra wheels
1.25" wheel spacers
newer magnaflow exhaust
alpine head unit with alpine components up front and alpine 5x7's in the rear
remote start
zero rust, this thing is CLEAN
aux tranny cooler (bypassing radiator cooler to avoid pink milkshake)
4runner seat upgrade
tubbed to fit 35" tires with zero rubbing
2" Old Man Emu lift with heavy front springs
SPC upper control arms - less than 5k on them
ARB compressor
Safari Snorkel
Uniden CB
ubolt flip kit
elocker guard
new rear brake shoes
new rear brake seals and bearings
no leaks
231mm tundra front brake upgrade
No expense was spared, I built this exactly the way I wanted it.
gets 20-21 mpg, goes 85 MPH on the freeway without any issues
This truck will do 85 mph+ on the freeway and still complete very difficult trails. We drove it 800 miles to the rubicon, wheeled the rubicon without needing so much as a strap, and drove it home 85 mph. This is a SOLID rig, and almost everything but the engine and tranny have been replaced. Don't let the 230k miles worry you, these rigs last forever. It's a great truck that seats 5.
