Fast Forward to 2020. Bought this truck used in 2009 for my son to drive. First thing was timing belt, brakes and tires. Once he went to College in Boston and couldn't have a car there, I began driving it. (and he never got it back) That's when Toyota Replaced the frame. With it came lower control arms, lower ball joints, shocks, brake lines, and body mounts. At that time, while the engine was sitting on a pallet, I had JBA headers installed. At that point
Since then it's become my camping and exploration rig.
