New to me Tacoma owner

Got tired of seeing my dads 99 Tacoma slip into over growth at our property. He had a lower ball joint failure on the drivers side and towed it and let it sit. He went and bought a new Tacoma but left this one to just sit for 5 years. I talked a coworker into helping me pull her out of the woods and drive her 500 miles back to my house. She needs a lot of work but I hope with y’all’s help I can get her back on the road. Right now I’m looking at replacing wheel bearings and ball joints as well as brakes. Then I’ll start the body work from where it crushed the fender when the ball joint failed. The hood and bumper were from a previous accident . Any and all advice welcome.

Bad daddy!

 

Welcome to TacomaWorld

 

She cleaned up nice and started. The Alternator is froze so I quickly shut it down and will replace down the road once I need to run it again.

 

Welcome! Looks like a great project truck. Damage doesn’t look too bad. Gotta love 1st gens!

 

Nice score. Welcome to the forum. Aftermarket parts are abundant for these trucks. Possibilities are endless, you'll need to decide what you plan on doing with it.
Keep us posted on progress.

 

I legit thought someone posted that picture of a different truck as a joke for how yours would look cleaned up. That cleaned up beautifully!!
