    Since this truck was the face of tacoma world for a long time.i know many of you might be wondering where the restoration is at. I attached a before and after Pic.

    My list is endless
    Programmed 3 new fobs
    New rack
    New upper and lower control arms
    New inners and outer tied rods
    I dropped it from a 3 inch to 2 a because high articulate parts aren't cheap. Even working at Napa with a wicked discount lol
    New front pads rotors and calipers
    New cv axles
    Rocker guard below the trim line
    Upgraded to 285/70R17 tires. Had to shave the bumper about 4 inches on each side
    New. As close to stock exhaust as possible
    New head unit for the stereo
    New blower motor, resistor and control module
    New drivers seat
    Added smoked tail lights to replace the stock clear ones. Headlights will soon follow
    24 inch led light bar in the rear
    2x 10,000 lumens fog lamps in the front
    3 switch rocker panel switch for additional lights
    Back up camera

    This summer she's getting stripped down and repainted, yes the original speedway blue of course and rocker guard below the trim line. Along with rust prevention and under coating to try to salvage the frame before it's gone too far.

    About to replace manifold gaskets, oil pan seal, crank case seal.

    After that she just needs a windshield and it should be ready for a safety and turned officially over to me from MrBbrown

    And for the record. I know people. I've only spent a total of 6k on this restoration thus far
