New to taco

Thanks I will!

 

Doesnt look too attractive to me. Didn't see any leaks and drove pretty nice but the rust pushes me away. I have a couple more to look at though.

 

The first pic you can see some obvious delamination due to the rust, but the rest of it doesn't look to bad, mostly surface rust.

I would definitely want to remove all the surface rust and treat it to keep it from getting worse.

It's well past time to replace those (likely factory) shocks, too, lol...

 

did your buddy run the VIN for dirt, see if the frame had ever been inspected at the Toyota dealer?
i think that it would show up on the VIN search, but not sure about that

 

He said he did not see any visit to see it was.

 

It was bought in Montana then brought to Colorado and now it's in MO.

 

what do the other Tacoma's you have your eye on looking like?

 

i don't believe Montana and Colorado use chemicals to de-ice roads (due to wildlife licking salt off roads i heard...very dangerous to hit one of those)
how many years in MO?

 

I'm gonna check out a 2009 Dbl cab next.

 

10 yrs in MO..
My buddy just told me to ask them if I can test drive it over night so I can bring it to his shop and they can check it out.
