. Hi all, Up for sale is my work truck for the last 3 years. 128K miles, single cab, 5-speed manual, red exterior/gray interior, manual windows/locks, aftermarket AM/FM/CD player. It is in as good of shape as a Ranger from WNY can be, with next to no rust on the exterior at all, minus the tailgate (plus your obvious near 20 year old dings, dents, scratches, etc.). I will have photos posted soon, but here is a list of new parts in the last year alone: - New timing belt and water pump (done this week) - New thermostat, coolant drain/flush/refresh, 2 new hard coolant lines (done this week) - New front brakes (done this week) - New fuel pump, gas tank straps (less than a year ago) - New rear brake shoes, both e-brake cables (less than a year ago) - Fully removed/shampoo-ed/cleaned and detailed interior (done this month) - Rust Kote underneath treatment done this past season All receipts in hand for the afore-mentioned work, including a 3 ring binder with all records since our ownership. EVERYTHING works. This is a no BS truck. It needed to be reliable for me with my property business. I used it to basically pick up drywall, supplies, and transport appliances, etc. ONLY reason for selling is we are buying a brand new Tacoma this month…very excited… It is on CL for $3,200, so discounted here for the forum… Best, Joe [![http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g156/91MR2_photos/20150809_131635_zpsumet5mhl.jpg](http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g156/91MR2_photos/20150809_131635_zpsumet5mhl.jpg)](http://s55.photobucket.com/user/91MR2_photos/media/20150809_131635_zpsumet5mhl.jpg.html) [![http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g156/91MR2_photos/20150809_131958_zpsvhrgxkbb.jpg](http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g156/91MR2_photos/20150809_131958_zpsvhrgxkbb.jpg)](http://s55.photobucket.com/user/91MR2_photos/media/20150809_131958_zpsvhrgxkbb.jpg.html) [![http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g156/91MR2_photos/20150809_132046_zpsymipmfix.jpg](http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g156/91MR2_photos/20150809_132046_zpsymipmfix.jpg)](http://s55.photobucket.com/user/91MR2_photos/media/20150809_132046_zpsymipmfix.jpg.html) [![http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g156/91MR2_photos/20150809_131847_zpsvv2kmzjk.jpg](http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g156/91MR2_photos/20150809_131847_zpsvv2kmzjk.jpg)](http://s55.photobucket.com/user/91MR2_photos/media/20150809_131847_zpsvv2kmzjk.jpg.html) [![http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g156/91MR2_photos/20150809_131912_zps7hahegl4.jpg](http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g156/91MR2_photos/20150809_131912_zps7hahegl4.jpg)](http://s55.photobucket.com/user/91MR2_photos/media/20150809_131912_zps7hahegl4.jpg.html) [![http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g156/91MR2_photos/20150809_131745_zpsvv2iowh3.jpg](http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g156/91MR2_photos/20150809_131745_zpsvv2iowh3.jpg)](http://s55.photobucket.com/user/91MR2_photos/media/20150809_131745_zpsvv2iowh3.jpg.html) [![http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g156/91MR2_photos/20150809_131821_zpsf4cbgv1n.jpg](http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g156/91MR2_photos/20150809_131821_zpsf4cbgv1n.jpg)](http://s55.photobucket.com/user/91MR2_photos/media/20150809_131821_zpsf4cbgv1n.jpg.html) [![http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g156/91MR2_photos/20150809_132008_zpsbrjyyfqt.jpg](http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g156/91MR2_photos/20150809_132008_zpsbrjyyfqt.jpg)](http://s55.photobucket.com/user/91MR2_photos/media/20150809_132008_zpsbrjyyfqt.jpg.html) ---

Thanks dude… :tup: And TradersBASE, this can gladly haul your kayaking supplies…it really is a great little truck, and it pains me a bit to sell, as not only has it been good to us, but it was also my dad’s last vehicle before he passed… ---
