    My translation implant is no longer up to date since I quit working.

    I am sure it was interesting a shame I can not read the OP`s first post.

    That is a good rant. What I gathered from it
    You bought a POS
    You didn't inspect the truck before buying rust is easy to spot
    Just because it's a Toyota doesn't mean it's a good truck
    Next time you buy a vehicle ask someone who knows what to look for go with you,pay him $200 cheaper in the long run

    Welcome. Glad you are here.

    Constructive critique though.

    If you are more clear about what help you need, you will get more help.

    I hope you get to enjoy your new truck soon.

    I must admit, I got as far as “leaf spring mountain” (sounds beautiful, BTW), started to feel a seizure coming on, and couldn’t read any further.

    I put it through my disgronificator as below.

    @Dualjames1!

    First off, welcome to the forum!

    You'll have many that will be willing to help answer your questions and concerns, but the structure of your post makes it extremely difficult to understand what you're saying.

    Maybe touching on each subject with its own paragraph, followed by any questions you may have at the end?

    I'LL HELP:

    My Tacoma is being a bitch! I bought a almost mint condition interior with a shitty frame and bed, along with everything else on it. It's a 2.7 Tacoma 4x4. I rebuilt this truck and I lost a lot of money while the truck sat for 8 months in my garage while I took the cab and bed off because I noticed a lot of rust and holes. The leaf spring mount rust off and I end up buying enough metal to reinforced the damage that it seemed like I litterly cap the entire frame by the custom work I had to do. I paid a shop $800 to drop the rear axle and replaced the rusty parts such as the shock and gas tank accessories because the truck kept shutting off. In the process of replacing the shock, the mount broke. But a year later, the uric would shut off and I had to replace the sending unit. Shortly after that, I had to spend another $400 and replaced the drivelines but the replacement didn't fit. I end up spending another $700 for direct fit drivelines but the truck drove like shit and shake really bad. In all, I spent $4,500 on Bill (my POS tacoma), which spent most of my ownership on rehab.

    Then when I thought it couldn't get any worst,

    FUCK IT, SOMEONE TAKE OVER :rofl:
