New member from Connecticut!

Hello! & well wishes!
My Names Scott and I am knew to the Tacoma world! Tacomas have bin my dream truck for quite some time now, & I’m finally ready to pull the trigger on one! Looking to hop in a second gen. I’ve looked at a few now, but they haven’t fit the bill. Hopefully I can find one here!
I took a look at this TX pro last weened but ultimately Passed. Was a beautiful truck, with only one owner, however looking at the carfax report the previous owner did not take it to get the crc coating from Toyota. the frame looked to be solid with just surface rust on the welds, but had a few questionable spots.

plus the shock mounts where showing some rust. There was also a slight vibrating coming threw from the steering wheel, which I heard could be drive shaft/u joint issue. So.. thought this was going to be the one! Wish me luck!

Also I am knew to 4x4’s. I have always loved them. I am looking to get into over landing & everything that comes with it! if anybody here is in the tri state area hit me up & let’s link! I need knew brain wrinkles & knowledge in this world we call Tacoma!

 

Welcome to the forum! Hope you find what youre looking for

 

Welcome to the TW

 

Welcome to TW from a fellow CT resident.

Does the owner not know about the frame replacement program?
Is the truck still eligible?

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Peace & thank you! what part of Ct? if you don’t mind me asking.

This truck was @ a New Jersey dealership, I’m assuming a trade in. So I’m guessing the owner was not aware.

The deadline was for 1-1-23. Bummer.

 

Thank you for warm welcomes!

Welcome to tw. I'd pass in a hurry to if I saw those frame pics...nasty. Being from Connecticut too, I know how bad these trucks can get if the frames are neglected. Keep looking, there's far better stuff out there.

 

Thanks for the inspiration brother!
