    Soo I bought a lil 2006 regular cab taco, manual 5 speed 4x4 off of my boss's kid that's goin into the military. Was oldman driven befor the kid had it....kids being kids out some whiskey dents in her via a fence and mailboxes hence the name.

    Anyway, the plan is to make it a good dailyable truck but with camping and mountains in mind.

    It's the lil redhead in the picture next to my other truck.

    Ugh, I'm jealous. That's what I want for a second vehicle/trail rig but they're hard to find.

    Yea it's in good shape no rust, just a beat up passenger bedside and a few dings here and there, it's got some miles on it (216k) but there's no leaks and doesn't burn oil, these engines are pretty easy to rebuild it's essentially a 22re just with variable valve timing

Going to put some 5100's with ebaic(spelling?) springs in the front set at zero to level the front out. Had a real bitch of a time gettin the wheels off, broke a few studs, all the lugs were pretty rusty, kid I got it off of must of had a little too much fun in the mud! Soo... gunna replace the whole wheel bearings and hubs along with new pads with the parts I have Layin around from my other taco lol.
