Retarded previous owners

So my truck started rattling the other day and it turns out that the upstream o2 sensor nuts had disappeared. I did a quick inspection and there was something on the studs that was keeping the sensor from coming off. Upon further inspection it appears that a previous owner for some reason had misplaced the correct nuts and subsequently epoxied over sized nuts on the studs. Now I have to clean the studs off before I can attempt to find the correct size nuts. I was just wondering if anyone else had found any such evidence of "brilliant" previous owners on their trucks.

 

Body lift/spacers

 

Mine was amazingly in completely stock form when I got it at 146k miles. Only thing he never did was change the timing belt so I had to take care of that.

 

On the headliner there is a stain above me in the passenger seat, all over the visor, across the cab above the passenger seat, and some behind the passenger seat in the back of an access cab where someone shouldnt have opened a coke bottle. Thanks bud. Other than that i will never complain. Best truck ever.

 

Mine had PAINTED ON PINSTRIPES and they were light blue on the indigo ink. They also had a chrome bull bar and those stupid chrome tail lamp grilles. All of that is gone now, thank god. They also had painted TRD on both sides of the scoop in cursive writing. Blech!

 

The previous owner of my 4Runner had literally never used the 4 wheel drive system, so the 3rd of 4th time I went to use it the entire front differential exploded, and both CV axles failed. Other than that I love my 4Runner.

 

The previous owner of
My old 96 put a cap on the truck that stuck up above the cab by about a foot or so, then put roof racks on top of that

 

my seats were held down with zap straps....yet the guy figured out how to perfectly wire in 443582375 spot lights. The rest of the truck was 100% stock

 

where is Static Filter? He has the most retarded previous owner of all.

 

removale of a leaf in the stock leaf pack...

 

i dont know why i laughed so dam hard but that sucks ass hahahaha! i could just imagine out driving my truck and just this movie style explosion and shit goes flying everywhere and i would just be sitting there staring in disbelief.

somebody wanted a lowered 4x4...either that or they wanted to ride bro without spending any money on a lift

 

the truck was perfectly level. he said he wanted a better ride... the truck still had stock shocks on it.

 

same here....cant wait to take off the BL and spacers and get a real lift

 

2x

 

Where the air box connects to the intake tube had broken off completely allowing all of the air for the engine to bypass the filter and go straight in. I didn't discover the redneck epoxy job until a few months after I had purchased the truck and taken it through the desert and some sand dunes. I just hope there wasn't too much damage. Upside, a new cold air intake was a justified must have.

 

Got mine completely stock with only 5k on it from an old guy

 

Lucky you, maybe when the kids are out of the house I'll be able to get a truck like that.

 

X2 but mine had 138k with the factory plugs wires and battery.

 

i had Rancho HD coils up front..but freakin blocks in the rear..my leafs were shot cause of that.

 

mine was all stock...even the shocks at 211xxx miles....lol he did replace the timing chaing and replace a rear main seal though, never modded it. except for his hands free phone hookup, he installed a mic and a speaker.
