    They are going to install the lift and new wheels/tires I purchased for it, plus it will be clean when I pick it up :)

    So are they still doing frame replacements? The one I care take had it done in 2014 records seem to indicate.
    My friend in VT has a '05 Taco he bought brand new and said it was $13,000 bill (he didn't have to pay that) several years ago and they did the fuel lines and brake lines brand new. He opted to have a few other things done at the time as well.
    He also put a $4000 supercharger in his and said it was the best $4K he ever spent :)

    Had to wait for a couple missing parts but she is mostly back together and running, just needs the finishing touches on here. Most likely Monday pickup now, not the dealers fault
