Let Me Introduce Myself

DaAznOne · Aug 18, 2023

Hello! , Been snooping around the forums for awhile. Slowly piecing my Truck to where I want it to be. Sadly there's no end to it. Well meet @cementoyoda

Modification started to pour since I purchased this beut in 2020, not quite fine tuned but one day will be satisfied with the build. Has some flaws as every modification was done by yours truly & not professionally. DIY & reading most writeup here Helps, Appreciate you all !

Welcome!

Not sure why, but when I read the title, my first thought was: "Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm a man of wealth and taste..."

What’s up? . I’m not a lug nut and haven’t been since the 70s when I got a Toyota Corona Mark lol in 1977 or so. Back then you could actually see the starter and alternator when you opened the hood. Now I have a 2009 4 door TRD off road with 150,000 miles on it that I've given my bird dogs free run to chew the seats, puke on the floor etc but it runs great. Well i have to decide whether to get a new or late model used Tacoma but the prices they're asking make me nauseous so im going to put 5 or 6k into my old truck and roll the dice. I'm hoping this is the place I can get advice and the names of your go to online site for parts. I was also hoping i could find someone in the south of Boston crowd who could point me to an independent inspector to outline the reasons I should or should not keep the truck and what problems it has. I'll certainly try to find info by doing a search for answers other than asking the same question again. My name is John and if anyone on the south shore needs a ride or willing to answer a "dumb" question drop me a line. Thanks in advance for all your help.

If the truck is solid and mechanically sound and the interior is your main issue you can easily get that swapped out. With only 150k and assuming you’ve done normal maintenance I’m sure the trucks worth keeping and probably doesn’t need anything close to $5-6k.

For the interior parts www.car-parts.com would be your best bet. Find a local junkyard with a crashed truck and clean interior and you’re good to go.
