    Big Red my 2012 heavily modded FJ died a premature death.
    So my new project is a 1999 excab TRD 4x4 Tacoma.
    Flew to Milwaukee drove it home to Oklahoma.

    Only 108000 miles , body is rust free inside very nice. Frame well you can only guess.
    Bought a frame here from a 2003 that was a light roll only had 12000 miles. Not a spot of rust.
    Pics of the frame up rebuild will follow as time goes.
    Basic starting plan is 3" suspension lift, 1" body lift , exhaust, cold air intake, super charger or turbo ; not set on witch. 33.5 Nitro super mudders {off FJ}
    And who knows.

    2000 and earlier tacos got crunched with a bad frame. 2001-2004 got theirs replaced as long as they had undercoating by Toyota and it lasted 15 years from purchase date.
    Welcome to TW :wave: Sorry your FJ was killed! It looked pretty sweet.
