    My father passed away last year and I have inherited his '96 Tacoma. I had the choice of sell it or keep it. It has 103k miles on it and is in relatively good shape other than the fact that he was a heavy smoker. So, here I am introducing myself because I decided to keep the truck and fix it up.

    Thanks, everyone.

    My dad had a little incident there with the rear right panel. Shouldn't be too hard to fix.

    Thanks, everyone. I'm looking at doing some "upgrades" and mods soon. Nothing too flashy, but beyond OEM. So I'll be using the search function on this site a lot.

    Sorry for your loss. Glass you decided to keep the truck, it was a part of him, now it's a piece of you.

    Welcome. Wow, That is a very clean 1st gen

    The dent is not too bad. Maybe the hot water and plunger trick might get that dent out
