The interior is nearly brand new. A few scratches in the hatch area, but nothing where passengers are.

Some light rust around rear wheel wells, and some trail pinstripping but it runs flawlessly, all power options work and 4lo and 4hi have no issues.

I am very happy I bought the truck, the GF and I are already planning many more trips.

Only has 236,000km's (146,000 miles) and brand new Michelin LTX tires 31x10.5

Awesome runmer bro. I've never seen a 2 door one in that style before thats cool. I wish ee had areas arounf here in SOCAL where u can go off roading by yourself like this.

Looked like a really nice trip and those burgers look like they hit the spot in that atmosphere.

Yes, it's a 3.0 standard.

I am actually fond of the engine so far (250km on it so far).
It has just enough power not to be a dog, and can easily keep up on the highway. I just hope it lasts.

My faster car is m stage 1 2012 VW GLI.

I have a 3.0 and its my first time having one in a truck. I'm currently getting the whole thing rebuilt. Is there a specific reason why u mentioned to use Toyota coolant? What's the difference to the good ones you can get at an autozone or pepboys?

Just curious. Ive heard many things about the 3.0 motor(not all good) so I'd just like to know as a "Note to Self" if you know what i mean.

has to do with whats in it. most japanese made vehicles use a different type of coolant compared to domestic made ones. i guess it has to do with shipping them overseas. using the correct coolant will help any headgasket issues. another tip is to make sure all your grounds are good and clean.
