    I have recently purchased another Toyota, this one is a 2000 Tacoma Prerunner. This green thing sat in a storage unit for 3 years. and when I met the owner there and popped the hood put the jumper cables to it she fired up in 2 cranks. This is no joke. My old man crapped his pants a little. I gave the lady the $750.00 she was asking for this truck and was on my way to get gas and headed home. After getting the Taco home I opened the hood and noticed that I had some work to do. It had a new hood and fenders on it already. The problem lied in the core support. Trashed bad. Fenders were new but they were for a 2 wheel drive only model. The lights and lines did not match up. I ordered the core support and the fenders and replaced all of it and after checking everything else out found that the rear seals were smoked and the axle seals were bad. i took it down to a Toyota's Only shop and they informed me that the rear end was shot because of the seals :mad:. had them replace and now I am in the process of replacing the passenger side of the box and getting it ready to be repainted. I will post some before and after pics soon.
