not too sure about the history but i scored it after talking with Ben at OTT. he told me about this guy he knew that had it sitting in this shop (he's a mechanic) so i dropped by and asked if he would sell it. he told me 1000 bucks and my jaw dropped and i said yes.
on top of hte regular stuff he handed me over 1000 bucks worth of toyota receipts for parts he bought for it in the last two yrs. things like a brand new clutch, exhaust, brakes, glow plugs rebuilt, water pump, gaskets/belts and he rekeyed the truck too.
