***UPDATE TO MY ORIGINAL POST HERE***

I now officially have only one undamaged body panel
left on my truck (driver's side fender)

I wear my scrapes and bruises like badges of honor, because I've earned them all

There are a few things broken on mine, but the main thing is the connection between my brain and my left foot, it seems to have a mind of its own.

My '95 4Runner has a slight rattle from the engine when I push the accelerator. Is this the same as the valve ticking?

Timing chain snapped due to idiot PO not torquing the bolts on the T chain guide. Bolt backed out and fell into the timing chain.

I poked a hole in a CV boot. Probably a sharp stick, cause this was after manual hubs.

Passenger's side mirror is missing and the windows don't go down, but considering it flopped, that's not really surprising.

only key is broken off in the ignition. Can't lock my doors or raise/lower rear window w/ key. I installed a hidden kill switch for extra security but until I find a keyed lockset I just leave a bunch of empty boxes and junk in there and hide stuff of value if I have to leave it

Thought I'd update my list...

1986 4X4 @ 169,XXX miles...
-Front windshield has three rock chips...
-Needs new shocks & steering stabilizer

1995.5 Tacoma 4X4 @ 300,XXX miles
-Water pump out (Never been replaced)
-White smoke on startup (Slight)

I swear these Toyota's really are POS's...

Passenger side door is hard to open from inside.
Windshield is cracked
bed has rust holes
every bit of body work has dents and or rust spots
tranny makes noise, especially fifth gear
driveline vibration (possibly U joints or tranny output play)
oil pan leaks a bit
frame needs addressing (rear crossover tube rusted through)

My turbo and engine seems solid. Thats what I thought would give me the most problems too.
