new owner of a taco that needs love

Hello TW,

As the title says, I am a new owner of a tacoma that needs love. Here's the little story:

I just finished my studies and just got my diploma, so I told myself why not treat myself and get something nice now that I am done with my studies? I got a 2000 white 4x4 tacoma

It's perfect, except there's some repairs to do on it. I knew it needed repairs when I bought it. The body is perfect, except it must be repainted. The repairs are mostly on the frame. It is rusty, but NOT rotten, hopefully, and definitely not beyond repair.

It is cracked at one place, right behind the cab, in the "s" part of the frame, passenger side.

I know the frame is still good because I spent many hours hitting it with a welding hammer to remove rust flakes and no hole appeared Even if it is not rotten, I'll also do the parts where the spring leafs attach to the frame, behind the cab, because I know rot loves to install itself there

I'll post updates and my questions in the main forum, or if there's a place for this, please tell me

Thanks

 

Welcome to TW. Good luck with reinforcing the frame.

 

Congratulations! Your at the right place!
