Any red flags? Thoughts generally?

Nothing special jumps out at me with regards to either.
All of those 3 look good to me, but I'm looking at a picture online.
The green one is my favorite color of Tundra, so there is that.
Yeah, I like that green too, the interior in that truck looks pretty beat for a Toyota though. I'm hoping the first one works out.
Drove two trucks today, the first and second on the list above. #1 2000 TRD 4x4 w/220k, body is fairly beat up, trans shifts kind of hard, no LSD, but it got a frame replacement from Toyota in 2010 and the new frame looks almost spotless, $6150. #2 2002 TRD 4x4 w/230k, body is fair, original frame is surface rusty but has no visible holes, has an LSD, engine is down on power, but no CEL, shifts and runs smooth. $4900.
I'm kinda leaving towards the first truck at the moment b/c of the frame, but I'd really like to have that LSD. And the price difference isn't nothing. It also already has an obnoxious redneck exhaust, so I wouldn't have to buy my own.
Friend of mine has an 03 with 590k miles on it. Seems like these are extremely long lasting truck/engine if cared for at all.
Recommend fly and drive a southern truck if you can't find one with a new frame. Especially if you like aftermarket exhausts.
In reply to OHSCrifle:
I was thinking about a fly and drive, but the trucks just seem cheaper up here than in the southeast, and I'm not going to the southwest from Ohio for a $6k pickup truck.
Fortunately for me, the truck with the new frame also had some kind of cherry bombs welded in. It's not quiet.
