    Keep it, don't repaint it. Looks like you've put a lot into it to make it "yours". Personally I like it the way it is. Roof is a little rough, but as long as it's not rusting, it wouldn't bother me. A "show" truck it's not, but some cosmetic issues are like scars, you tend to have more of them the older you get.

    Keep it, drive it, enjoy it.

    Keep it unless you get a price you can't say no to... I'd say 80% of the people (including myself) on TW regret selling their older/paid off Tacomas... :D

    Man, if that was my truck with that many miles I would keep it for the long road ahead, especially it being automatic so my wife could use it when needed. And the TRD is a nice thing to have.

    Mine just hit 190,000 this week. I've only had it for a year but I got it because I knew I'd enjoy it and that it would last. One con for an xtra cab is it isn't the greatest fit for my 6'3 height and two kids in the back, but that's what we have an 06' Pilot for. Another con to it is that it's a rebuilt title (passenger door damage: image attached; but the door had been replaced when I bought it so it looks great) so I wouldn't get much for it so I might as well keep it until a fix is worth more than it's worth. I've had to but at least $2,500 into it since I got it to get a new muffler, catalytic converter (California one...!) two struts, two shocks, rack and pinion, rack and pinion pressure hose, rust removal around windshield, new tires and a few bulbs. I knew some of that work was coming but some really sucked to find out later on.

    You've got a great build and much life ahead of it as far as I can tell.

    Thanks for all the in put and I think I'm convinced that I'm going to keep it and just repaint later. It's paid off and definitely don't want a payment.

    I actually made it myself. If I can find the receipt for material, I'll let you know. But other than that I just followed the satoshi grill diy thread.
