2002 tacoma 270,000

Trying to set a mileage record with the ole tacoma in central Maine. She has fallen thru the ice into 4ft of beaver big water, rolled over on the freeway and has accidentally hit 4 deer..
Still going. Still love her!!

 

Damn.

 

270,000 miles.. Redoing all the front cosmetics and building a deer catcher to protect the new "stuff"

 

Do you have a pic of what the front looks like now? Are you gonna do a build thread?

 

I am.. Take pics tomorrow of b4 and post more of after when I build the catcher.

 

Great awesome. My 98 taco has the front smashed in, but it's mostly cosmetic work. I want to fix it, just not sure where to start so I'd like to see someone's progress on that.

 

10/4 I'll definitly show you the progress. Have a small machine shop in my garage.

 

Got all parts thru Amazon prime..

 

Alright for sure!
Would you mind giving me a breakdown of how much every part cost?
Whenever you can

 

Yes I certainly will. Saved a ton of $. Will get back to ya tomorrow...

 

Welcome and WOW!

 

This is a pick of the front and driver side fender.. Replacing all the lights, grill, bumper and filler, spoiler. The fender and body work Will be done in Jan. Will post the prices of parts for ya soon.

 

Front view..

 

Gnarly. You hit some deer?

 

Yes. I hit 4 all together on 3 different occasions. 2 at once, then 1 one night and a month or so later another one.
I've learned to slow down at night and haven't wacked any more.
Maine deer are big and do damage.
