    Just assumed ownership of a beautiful 2004 Prerunner TRD Off-road. She's got 220,000 miles but drives great. Truck is from the south and has minimum to zero underbody/frame rust. Carfax had uninterrupted service history and the drive belt and radiator were just replaced.

    I changed the oil and filter and removed the ugly stock side steps. Any advice for what to check for or do first?

    Thanks- Grant

    Congrats! There is a certain beauty to the stock look of the 1st Gen and yours looks really clean. Enjoy!
