Good question. I think so.
I thought you sold your Tacoma already. TIL.

Started finishing up the last of the projects on the tow pig:
Fixing the remainder of the oil leaks (pan gasket and oil dipstick)
8 new glowplugs
New GTP38R turbo
New bellowed up pipes
EBPV deleted pedastal
TurboMaster wastegate actuator
Intake heater delete
New south bend dual disc organic clutch
New exhaust manifolds and studs
I started taking the trans/t-case down and removing the exhaust up-pipes and realized the manifolds after 250k and 16 years of use it was just going to be easier to replace them rather than try to dick with removing the collector bolts which were pretty much welded to the manifolds. I'm in the process of waiting for new manifolds to get shipped, and am working on pulling the engine to change the pan and cut out the old manifolds.
New turbo with non EBPV outlet getting ready to bolt on
Removal of stock POS wastegate and installation of TurboMaster
Trans and t-case dropped
Removed and cleaned up valve covers, replaced the glow plugs
How it's been sitting for the last few days, waiting for me to pull the engine

Nope. It'a been sitting neglected for a year or so. Going to swap the fender, get the PDR done on the cab and bed, put the fender flares back on, give it a good detail, and then post it up for sale. May end up changing the timing belt/water pump too. Not sure though. Depends how much I feel like doing to it. But for sure the body damage is getting fixed first.

Even if I made it a trail toy, it would still sit neglected for years. I don't have time to have a trail toy. And I'd rather put the money toward the house or a DD that gets more than 14mpg.

I don't know... they seem like you can spend a lot on them.

Shouldn't you be watching Truck Night in America or something? Or prepping your trailer for getting work done on it?

Dude. I do things in small portions.. today I cleaned part of the garage and then raised the RTT a few notches.. I'll do more tomorrow. TNIM has been over for a month or so, nothing to see there. Waiting on some trailer parts to arrive on Thursday.
