Anyone know about this double cab and why it keeps getting passed around? Any bad things about it? I wish i would of won it on ebay back in january or febuary. I am in the market for a double cab and was just wanting to know it's good and bad points. Anyone know that is not the current owner?

It doesn't seem "outstanding" from the pics :roll:

It does have some rust poking thru as you see in the gate pics. It also has more spots like this around the truck as I have seen it at shows.

Since you're IN2RUST those blisters on the gates are probably a turn on

I did get an email back from the guy saying that he had an offer of 19k, and would take it unless i wanted to offer more money. I am going to pass at that price.

Anyone laying odds on when it pops up for sale again?

It looks very white to me.

I don't like the fact that the rust and other issues were simply painted over. What else is hidden?

19K for a not very well restored, non-og, rust popping, not outstanding, double cab!! :shock:

I know this belongs in the whines thread.

This is turning into whine thread material as feedback has been given and the original poster as passed.

Locked.
