Hello guys/gals,
I just picked up a '98 taco ext cab 4x4 for 500$ it had front end damge but that almost taken care of. I'm new to the toyota scene but not new to off roading, my first off roader was an '89 bronco II you can check out the build here.

That build took about 3 years I did all the work my self then i sold it to pay the down payment on my house. Then I did a faster more envolved build on a ranger that ended up consuming the bronco II project after i bought it back, you can see the build here.

Right now my focus is rebuilding the front clip of my taco but then i will get started on the build up of the taco. I dont have the equipment i had when i was building my 2 previous builds so not sure how extreme i will get with the taco build. Here are some pictures of the new toy.
Here it is at the accident site with the previous owner.
Here it is after previous owner removed the damage and pulled out the core support damage the best he could.
and here it is arriving at the new owners house(me)
This past weekend i put a new radiator and clutch fan in and have it back on the road i am ordering a new core support tonight and then i will install new grill, headlights and condensor and that will get her back to looking good. I will start a build thread to show progress as i get some
