We just bought a 96 Tacoma too. First generation Tacomas are very expensive around here, even ones with 150k on them! Ours has 130k on it, 4wd, V6, 5 sp, xcab. We paid $6700. Seems steep for a 13 yo truck, but newer ones were $10k+.

It doesn't seem to be in too bad a shape. It has a topper on it. We have not yet been inclined to put a roof rack on the topper, we are thinking of setting up a fork-mount situation in the bed. Maybe some fork mount attachments on a 2x6 plank or plywood.
