    northeastern rust and a newish frame
    I just bought a real beat 2002 4cyl 4x4 5speed taco, and I'm in the process of getting it inspectable. Right now the e-brake, horn, emergency flashers, AC and radio don't work, the right side tie rod end is worn out and there's some rust holes in the body (The truck is from the Adirondacks). Its got a lot of issues (I'm sure I'm going to keep finding new ones), but the frame feels solid.

    The Rock Auto boxes are already rolling in, and I've been spending a lot of time lurking around here, so I figured it was time to introduce myself and my truck.




    (BTW, Im in VT not CT. I can only get it registered over the mail b/c of covid, so I'm using my roommate's old plates so I can park it on the street in the mean time)
