I thought about replacing front bumper, but figured if I go tube style later, why...

Still got my drive belts to put in...

Do you still have Project F Smog???

 

[Jrgunn5150]

Thanks. They hold value so much most are un buyable unless your willing to overspend, or I lucked out and got one that needs maintenance, but was cheaper initial purchase price...

I have an FJ Cruiser that's valued at like 80% of what I paid for it new lol. Toyota values are silly.

Yes

My brothers wife had a black one... It was more manuverable than I would of thought, but then they traded it for back seats of sequoia, then got a sienna van for sliding doors on both sides due to my neices... Values are nuts

Nice score there. Those old Yotas really command a high price but they are solid trucks. The OEM 20s you had in earlier posts look awesome but not enough tire IMO and will be more $ to replace tires when the time comes but you seem like me in the sense you might not have it long enough to replace tires lol. Enjoy the build!

Thanks. I have been waiting for tacoma for a long time... I like to think the only thing I'd possibly want at this point is a four door which were like double (for salvage title) to triple the price (clean)/but lifes weird....

Scratch number one off the list....

I had been searching and recyclers didnt have grey, and wanted $450 for a set of 03 seats from a prerunner double cab.

But then I saw these.... I got fingers crossed with enough elbow grease I can get the soiled / stains out....

So I have two buckets...think it was bench stock... Have center console... So I was focused on the passenger seat-with the idea to take the foam seat bottom and back and swap them to my ragged driver chair- but he wouldnt break up the set.... So I bought em for $160.... Maybe I can try both out...

 

[Mackadocious916]

This was how I bought her....

So hopefully I can put the good foam in the bed on the beat up seats in the cab, and clean the other one just to see, if anything it will help with resale value...

 

[Mackadocious916]

I mean resale value of the seat I end up not using ....not the car
