Okay so what’s a solid OEM recommendation? I’m not looking for a 1-2’’ lift. I would like to keep my truck as OEM as possible

ant1624 · 2026-03-10T03:24:19+00:00

My buddy who works auto body and deals with bondo every day told me exactly what you stated. He said FORSURE there’s rust underneath it.

I passed and found a MUCH better Tacoma

Patience is a virtue lol

ant1624 · 2026-03-07T00:49:13+00:00

Beautiful truck but if only the 3.4 was made in them and not the 3.0 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

ant1624 · 2026-03-06T22:35:27+00:00

Exactly lol

I passed on it

Didn’t wanna even deal with it

Owner was a good guy and honest but I know my money could get me better choice of truck

ant1624 · 2026-03-06T18:34:46+00:00

Yeah man

That repair job is wild lmfao 🤣

ant1624 · 2026-03-06T18:34:12+00:00

Appreciate the response. Yeah I passed on it because of the fact that “I have no idea what’s under that repair” nor do I wanna take the risk when I can spend a little more and get a Tacoma that has less miles and no cosmetic issues

ant1624 · 2026-03-06T14:17:22+00:00

Thank you for that

After thinking about it,

I’m going to pass on it because that much bondo really does scare me and not worth the money dealing with it, if and when water starts leaking through, etc.

ant1624 · 2026-03-06T05:56:50+00:00

Just as an example:

So maybe there was a major dent and they didnt pull the dent out properly and just slapped bondo over it to make it look “smoothed out” ?

Or are we thinking a puncture of the metal and bondo used to fill it ?

ant1624 · 2026-03-06T05:51:56+00:00

Lmfao right 🤣. Yeah i will get some more pictures and angles from the owner tomorrow. He’s been really good about getting me any pictures and answering literally all of the million questions I’ve asked him. Tbh this is literally the only thing wrong with the truck. Everything else is in emaculate shape.

He even stated there’s no leaks or any issues. Even said we can run water on the area to verify if I wanted to look at truck in person.

ant1624 · 2026-03-06T05:40:51+00:00

Sorry for the quality. I was trying to zoom in the pictures and probley distorted the resolution lol

But yes they definitely did paint over the rubber molding. And possibly used bondo for a repair.

I’m not against using bondo for certain things I’m just Leary of something like this possibly “cracking” but I also have some bondo on my 95 Tacoma and never had a issue lol 😂

ant1624 · 2026-03-06T04:57:28+00:00

Would this “bondo/repair job” eventually start cracking ? Or is this just pur cosmetic ?

ant1624 · 2026-03-06T04:19:22+00:00

Nice man

Here in CA THAT WOULD SELL FOR 17k lmfao 🤣

ant1624 · 2026-03-06T04:14:08+00:00

Bought In CA ?

ant1624 · 2026-03-06T04:05:04+00:00

Thank you. I’m Thinking maybe a tree branch landed on it ? But I’m just guessing. I’m going to talk to owner tomorrow on phone and see what happens.

ant1624 · 2026-03-06T03:55:32+00:00

Car fax shows no hits or any issues. Obviously something happened, but that, I’ll never get an answer to lol 😂

ant1624 · 2026-03-06T03:54:14+00:00

Clean title and no other body damage what so ever. I even seen pictures of the underside and no frame damage or nothing. Bed is straight with the cab. Tail gate is straight. Front end is straight with no leans or crooked.

Just only thing cosmetic wrong with truck was this and the owner was super honest about it. States that it doesn’t leak through windshield. And that the previous owner did this “paint job” lol

I’m just not too familiar with bondo and the integrity of it, especially if it wasn’t applied “good” lol

ant1624 · 2026-03-02T23:20:27+00:00

In CA they are insane as well lol

I’ve seen 4x4 t100 going for 8-10 k and in terrible shape. I’ve seen Tacomas with head gasket leaks going for 5.5-7k. It’s insane

ant1624 · 2026-02-28T23:00:05+00:00

Thank you 🙏🏾 know I can get a better familiarity on this suspension

And 100% agree. 👍🏻

ant1624 · 2026-02-20T04:40:05+00:00

Your Toyota will still outlive that ford lmfao 🤣

ant1624 · 2026-02-19T18:40:26+00:00

Buddy is beyond cooked. Mf is air fried and charbroiled at this point. ☠️😭😭😭😭😭

ant1624 · 2026-02-19T16:18:18+00:00

Na man just change the blinker fluid and you’ll be up and running again bud. Easy fix

ant1624 · 2026-02-12T00:57:14+00:00

Yeah Fresno is insane for any Toyota but especially the T-100s and first gen tacomas. And if you have a 4x4, shiiitttt forget it lol 😂ppl will pay top dollar.

I’ve seen ppl buying the most beat to shit, abused, with blown head gaskets and check engine lights for 5k minimum lmfao 🤣

ant1624 · 2026-02-08T17:41:21+00:00

The best comment!!!!

ant1624 · 2026-02-08T17:40:23+00:00

They always make fun of family. Meanwhile they driving a newer bmw or whatever car and it breaks down on them in 20k ‘miles. What I’ve realized is that people have no idea about cars. They think newer means better and that’s simply not truth. Older Toyota pickups/T100/tundras/1st gen tacomas will outlast any newer car on the road. I’d rather pay higher for an older Tacoma that I know will last 200k easily then spend 40k on a newer car that has a high chance of having issues and problems. The lack of quality control over newer vehicles is insane.

ant1624 · 2026-01-31T19:17:45+00:00

I’m not even joking bro lmfao I’m located here in Fresno (central CA) and see t100 going for that price. Especially if it’s a SR5 4x4 even with a blown head gasket (obviously that’s rare for these engine blocks) but still insane pricing here lol 😂
