Repairs on the punch-list: 1) Rusted hood - this is probably from living near the ocean and my not doing my best to keep this thing properly clean during college :/ I bought some of this paint for like $16 bucks at AutoZone on a whim. Will give it a shot at some point. Will probably watch...

A few other things: Here is a link to my "jerry-rigged" (I was not sober during this) battery fix: That I did one night after spending $40 at AutoZone for various parts, b/c they didn't have an out-of-the-box compatible solution: Jerry rigged battery fix - Album on Imgur - This is still going...

Origins: I needed a vehicle that could take me the ~4hr drive back and forth from college, and survive commutes to work. I began my search looking for Tacomas and 4Runners, and ended up with this guy: A white 2005 4.7L V8 AWD SE Runner - IIRC I paid 12.5k for it in May 2014, and it was in...

Hi all, bought this guy back in 2014, and never started a build thread. College/internships were my focus back then, so I hadn't put a lot of time and effort into this vehicle, but now that I'm working full time and life is relatively consistent, I figured I'd start a build thread. This is...
