New guy here with 2 Taco's

Hello all, I am 15 years old. I am from TN and so far I love this forum. I'm here to tell you about my Tacoma's.


About 8 months ago I bought a Wrecked junkyard truck. It was most def a junk yard truck. No seats, No rear axle, it had been picked. It is a 1999 Tacoma ext cab SR5 2.4l 5 spd 2wd. It has 200k on it and I give $1000 for the truck. I fixed the truck myself with the help of my dad. Keep in mind this truck hit a car in the butt doing about 30mph so it was smashed pretty good in the front end. About $1300 later we end up with this.



A finished truck. Do to stores ordering the wrong parts I ended up swapping over to a 1996 grille, headlights, bumper. My orginal idea was to make this truck a SAS and keep it for a sweet Daily Driver. I hopped on craigslist looking for parts to make my conversion when I found this jewel.



A 1996 Tacoma 4x4 ext cab 2.7l Auto SR5. I found this puppy for 2,000!!! But there's a catch. It has a rod knocking in it. No biggy. Couple months and a little bit of money later and I will have this truck going as well. This truck is clean. New tires, SR5, ext cab, ect. It was to good of a deal to pass up.

So there is my story and some pictures of my two Tacoma's.

 

Nice!

 

Great work! Welcome from N.J.

 

Hell yeah. 2 is always better than 1. Nice job. Your first truck would have looked good black also. Welcome from Alabama.

 

welcome but is it just me or is the first truck missing part of the rear window?

 

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thank you! I think so too, but the paint is new less than 2 years old. The guy that did it really screwed it up. It is dull as a 100 year old knife. I'm working now to get it shining back new.

It has the back window. Its a brand new piece too. It just isn't tinted to match the others yet.

 

Welcome!

 

Welcome

 

not bad for 15 years old.....lol
