    I just finished an almost all out off frame resto
    Hey guys, just wanted to get some feedback on my ‘96 Taco, I’ve had the truck for about 10 years and it was getting to be in pretty bad shape so I had to make a tough decision, either sell it and find another, or take the plunge and redo it. I was originally just goin to fix what was wrong, but the deeper I got the more I decided to do, which turned into an almost frame off, the only thing that didn’t come off the frame was the cab. I’m really happy with how it turned out, but wanted some feedback from the Tacoma World community.

    Guys thanks for the feedback, I’ve still got a easy to go. I’ve not touched the inside yet, but planning on it in the coming months.
