New guy rebuilding a 2010 tacoma

Hi all. New to this Toyota thing. i bought a wrecked 2010 Tacoma from CoPart to rebuild and turn into a daily driver. I picked it up Monday and so far just torn the damaged panels off.

Wish me luck!!!

 

Welcome to the community, best of luck on your rebuild man!
What made you grab a Tacoma?

 

Nothing in particular.... found a decent truck worth rebuilding. I really like the 3rd gen and would've preferred one but I can't complain about what I got

 

Here are some of our other rigs:

Wife's 15 4Runner, my 01 Cherokee and 87 Comanche.

 

Solid man, I too had a lust for a 3rd gen when trading in my regular cab but settled for a newer model second gen. You got a badass collection of rigs , the Tacoma will for sure make an awesome addition to your fleet

 

Here's my current DD. This is what the tacoma will be replacing.


I commute 100 miles a day. I've put 20k on her in the last year trading her off to eliminate a car payment

 

how bad was the damage? i bought a xrunner from coparts also trying to rebuild it as we speak

 

It's mostly front drivers suspension damage. The knuckle was ripped off the ball joints

 

Are you doing a build thread or any documentation of the rebuild?

 

no i am not, i have random pictures here and there, it is a 2008 but i am putting a 2015 front end on it

 

I wanted to do the updated front end. Only reason I didn't was the cost differences between the parts. Hood was 100$ more, headlights were 150$ more, grill was 100$ more and I couldn't find a bumper.
