2001 White SR5 2.4 - New to the forum

2001SR5 · May 18, 2018

Like the title states it is a
2001
Super White (Paint Code 040?)
2.4 cylinder
With 79,xxx miles!

A little history
My dad bought the truck new in 2001 and used it primarily for house work. Moving dressers, tables, mattresses, mulch, and rock. He then used it to commute to the park and ride down the road. Since retiring he doesn't really drive it all that much, and it just sat under a tree collecting dirt and dust most days.

After about a month of on and off cleaning, protecting, and a few part orders, it looks pretty darn good.

The main remaining items are:

Fuel Door: Had some nasty chipping and paint loss. I sanded, primed, painted and sanded again. But man does it need another coat, a sand, and some clear coat to round it out

Rear passenger scrape: Near the bumper, there is a 3-5 in long scrape. This needs some sanding, painting and I guess clear coat

Passenger Tail Gate rust: Some paint got scrapped off the... lip?, of the tail gate on the passenger side. Same as above: Sand, paint, clear

Rims: A little bit of rust has formed in some scrapes. Will need to sand, clean, and spray with something stock looking

Center Caps: I've done a little prep and paint testing on these, but I'll end up trying to match whatever wheel paint we use

Dash rattle on passenger side: Not entirely sure where to start on this one. I read a little bit, and I think it is fairly common. I don't really want to pull the dash apart. Especially when we have a 5 cent cardboard fix in place

Third cup-holder clip: One of the two clips on this little cup holder broke and it doesn't really stay in place. I either need to see about making and gluing a clip, ordering a replacement cup holder, or maybe just gluing the whole thing down

What has been done so far:
Wash, clay, wax
Side window strips have been replaced
Stock antenna replaced with 6in stubby antenna (Great reception so far)
Cleaned and scotch guarded the interior
Back to black on plastic part of front bumper (Did a pretty good job)

I'll get some more pictures up this weekend.
