If your Yota could talk...

what stories would it tell about it's previous owner?

Like I would like to know how the front of the bed got so tweaked? I guess he didn't know what the tie down loops were for.

My favorite is when I removed the kick panel over the ECU. There is a muddy water line all the way up to the dash. I guess the guy didn't know the first rule of crossing a river. Wait for someone else to go first.

Mine has already told me what a hack ass the guy was. When I got my 92 3.0, he had that orange gasket maker ˟˟˟˟ all over! How hard is it to use a Toyota drain plug gasket!?

Mine would tell me the po should've just let it rot in a field. This guy.... unbelievable. Fan shroud broken and reattached with zip ties, complete hack job on the wiring, hubs reassembled totally wrong, rims so bent and dented I'm surprised it holds the bead. Just wow. I wish i could hear what this guy said to himself when he was working on it.

I'm really surprised there wasn't the orange gasket maker on the hubs...well, he clearly never worried about cleaning and greasing them..

Yikes. Mine was the opposite. I scraped out at least half a can of the nastiest burnt up grease from my passenger hub.

That is the passengers side. But it was just rusted to hell. Can't beat working for Toyota and getting parts for cheap though!
