Not sure yet but I came across a 2014 Tundra that I might not be able to pass up.
Obviously the dealer isn't interested, called the T100 a Unicorn.:mad:

So I'd sell it outright vs a trade-in.
1995 DX 2WD 3.4 5 speed.

Pros:
One owner and driver
Never smoked in
Always a CA. Truck ( I bought it in Wy. and it's registered there but it never lived there!)
All stock except for wheels and tires as well as stereo.
Maintenance is current except what's noted below.

Cons:
Clock Non-op
Cruise control Non-op
Paint in faded (single stage, No clear cost) not as shiny as my Avatar pic anymore. :(
(No damage, besides dent in rear bumper)
Driver's seat is torn, rest of interior is great!
Needs VC Gaskets
Due for brakes, at least in the rear.
Tires have lots of tread and no rot but are over 8 yrs old BFG 31's

I'm in San Diego so I'd work with anyone interested.
Open to thoughts and ideas!
Like I mentioned, I didn't put this in the For Sale section because I'm not convinced I like the Tundra that much.

198k and some change.
That's the issue, it's a nice truck. I'd drive it anywhere without any concerns.
Getting pressure from my better-half because the Tundra has an A/T and she can't drive my 5 speed and all of a sudden since we're retired we need more air-bags..LOL
I told her one was enough because it was on my side of the truck, she didn't appreciate my humor!

I've never owned a vehicle for myself with anything but a manual transmission.
I don't like A/T's, one of the reasons I'm on the fence about the Tundra.

How the hell have you been able to keep it registered in Wyoming its entire life? I was able to keep mine registered in Utah for four plus years while in California before the state forced their will on me. Like 50 dollars ever two years vs 275 every year.

Thanks CaptainNS, I'd fix mine if my radio wasn't a few inches away from it with a working clock!
Yes, I'm that lazy!
But I did install new door handles on both sides yeaterday just for grins, and sure enough the one used the least was cracked in the usual place. Gonna get serious and do the rear brakes next week, they have 199k on them, 1995 OEM.
Gotta love having a 5 speed!
Decided even with a Fresh paint job I can get it back to being both functionally and cosmetically inside and out dialed in for about $5k, Sounds crazy but I know this truck and That beats payments!
Have to admit the Tundra was a peach! And even with the 4.6 V8 and A/T it overall gets better MPG than I ever have, plus the criuse control worked. Mine's an after-market unit installed in 1996 and gave up the ghost a couple years back, I can't find parts, that manufacturer closed up. Rosta offers a Universl one so thats an option.

Speed, I just put mine up for sale as well. Going to miss it, but I maybe back again;)

Bam you are right the tundra is a maint nightmare compared to the T100. On my 13 tundra its hard to see anything under the hood. But that 5.7 is a beast let me tell ya!

Going to miss my T100. But I said that the last time and came back. ;) Link to my FB marketplace ad below. Likely won't sell there. May put it up on bring a trailer.
