She's a fixer

Just got my first Tacoma here about 3 weeks ago. Bought a totaled 2011 Tacoma in great shape (other than the front end damage) and decided to fix her up. It had been hit on the front left, bending the first 6 inches of the left frame rail down. It looked like it could be pulled and forgotten, so I bit the bullet and paid for it. The guy who I bought it off of has been awesome, working with me to get the title figured out and throwing in some goodies with the truck. (It has been a roller coaster fighting with the insurance since it was recently totaled.)
With a little TLC though, she is up and running like a champ. New bumper, fender, flares, brackets, clips, pulled the frame, a little paint and it is a new truck.

When it was in the shop, the 4x4 light was on too. The truck wouldn't go into 4wd. This was what I was more worried about before buying the truck. not knowing much of the history of the truck I thought it could be anything. Spent an afternoon crawling around the drivetrain and found a connector disconnected on the transfer case. Boom problem solved. Can't wait to get this thing out in the dirt.

 

God I hate you!...everyone on this site hates you!...good luck nice truck

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Good looking truck man. Keep up the good work!

 

Haha thanks, you would hate me even more if I told you the deal I got on the truck. I'll add more pictures later.

 

It's like an animal rescue store, but for trucks. Ha. Seriously, Love your attitude and determination. The world needs more of that.
Keep up the good work!

 

It makes me feel good when I see an abandoned taco brought back to life!

Now I gotta know

 

Tell us! We have to know

 

When everything is all said and done I think I'll be about $7500-$8000 into it. Truck, repairs, registration and all.

 

Sorry for all of the double picture post, I don't know why it is doing that.
