FNG with two projects

New guy here..I’m sure I will be reaching out for some help from time as I restore/repair the two Tacomas I recently purchased as a package deal. One is a 2012 4x4 Base access cab with 260k on it and the other is a 2005 4x4 Base access cab with only 330k. Both have brand new factory frames and run like a champ, but do need some TLC as you can imagine. My plan is to keep the 2012 mostly stock and use it as a commuter and use the 2005 as a weekend off roader. I’m finding them mostly pretty easy to work on and parts seem readily available. Major upcoming repairs for the 2005 include replacing the rear differential housing and cutting out the rusted rockers and fabricating rock sliders out of some 2x6 tube stock. Both trucks will also need the usual stuff like carrier bearings, brakes, wheel bearings, etc. thank you all in advance for sharing you knowledge and frustrations with me!
