    I sold my ‘06 Tacoma SR5 in December 6 years ago. I have had other vehicles however I started missing my ‘06 Tacoma a couple years ago and started looking for another one. I found a 2008 Tacoma base model standard cab 4 cyl auto. It has a lot of miles however I bought it from the original owner who took it to the Toyota dealer for every service and a stack of service records to prove it. It runs, rides and drives almost like a new truck.

    It has lived most of its life in a carport however the last couple of years lived out in the weather. I have started a full detail and started with the interior which included buying new OEM floor mats. Next I washed the truck, restored the headlights and clayed, polished and waxed the tailgate. After I restore all the paint I will detail the engine bay. Pictures to follow as I make progress. Glad to be back.

    I was not joking about becoming Santa. I have done many things in my 70 years however being Santa is one of the most, if not the most, enjoyable and rewarding.
