    Vehicle
    2001 Tacoma SR5 4x4 extra cab 2.7L manual. Purchased July 2016 with 54,XXX miles.

    Link to FS thread where I found it:
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/2001-tacoma-sr5-4x4-only-54-800-miles.441530/

    Purpose
    Unlike the original build, this will not be my daily driver. :D This truck will be a toy and a tool. Like any tool, it is very capable of completing certain tasks, while it completely fails to handle others. The purpose of this build is to identify and modify the areas where it fails. I learned a lot from the last truck. Those lessons will play a big role here. I'll be adding pictures of what I have done so far and what I do as I go from here.
