    Recently got a 2010 TRD OR 4x4 4.0 doublecab auto 191k bone stock. Don’t even know where to start but looking to build this into a somewhat comfortable daily/off road vehicle. Any help or recommendations appreciated.

    You aren’t wrong. That’s why I bought it. But after 191k and 12 years, it needs some love haha

    I think what you need is a 'refresh' and baseline of serviceable items.

    Most folks toss money into 'builds' buying stuff they don't even need.

    Get the truck up to snuff reliability wise, then see how it goes for how you find yourself using it.

    Hopefully you have given the frame a thorough inspection for rust, especially if this truck ever lived in salt country.
