Man...I hear you. And it's what I think about 50% of the time. And the other 50% of the time I can't stop thinking about how sweet this thing would look if I got everything on the body dialed in. I can't help myself... As for the undercarriage - she's a midwest rig. So there were definitely...

I'm away from the right I'm away from the rig right now - so don't have the ability to do so. But I would put it this way - there is nothing that is disastrous, but every panel on the body is going to need some sort of work. Dents, dings, etc. Nothing you would notice if you drove past it on...

I've had my 100 series for about four years now. Just rolled 200k and mechanically is in tip-top shape. But aesthetically? Not so much. Rust starting to pop through in the rear quarters. Paint is dull. Small dents, chips, etc. About what you would expect from a 20 year old car. So... I'm...

Great suggestion. Thank you! I've got the OBD2 reader ready to rock. Definitely will check the wheel bearings.

Hey folks - long-time lurker, first time poster. Recently got an 04LC w/ ~174k miles on it. Had it worked over by Toyota: new steering assembly, transmission, diff, transfer case fluids, etc., etc. Tech said she runs like new. That said, I'm getting ready to take the family on the first...
