From Panama Central America!

Hello, I'm From Panama City you can Call me Coko,

First of all sorry for my barbaric English, Spanish is my native language and I try my best to communicate in English.

I bought my first Pick up truck a couple of weeks ago ( Not running and in bad shape)

Tacoma 2012 4x4 Double Cab with 45k miles I don't know anything else about it (I need help finding out the trim please) and also the value.

The car was almost abandoned by the previous owner he had an accident a couple of months ago and do not have the time nor the moment to fix it.



The car cost me $7,000.

It has the ProComp 4.5-inch lift kit and some really nice tires.

The car was crushed against a fence and the Knuckle was bent need a new battery and a couple of things to be fixed.

Things I have done:

Bought RC Spindles
Inner Rods
Outer Rods
Upper Control Arms
Modify an OEM Sway bar link to fit the RC spindle
Change the YOKE so finally can move by the rear axle.
A battery and Gas.
After that, I was able to start the car for the first time.

This was this weekend after the Taco can move by itself, was time to test and ruin some things on the car:



Result:

A broken part on the chassis, the one the center bearing is held on ( I look over the internet to buy it, but I don't know the name), crack, and today I remove it and send it to a blacksmith so it can be welded and reinforce.

The transmission starts to kick hard so I decided to replace the OIL today and well the project is in development.

I have spent already 1.6k on the repair but I'm happy with the car.

I looking for cool mods led bars and stuff, since I'm in Panama my salary is nothing compared to the USA so I prefer to buy it second-handed and ill accept any donations!

Need:

Flares
Bumper
Grill
FOG lights
Led bar 50 inch
Led bar the on of the bumper
other stuff.
Power Commander.
