    Howzit everyone,
    Kauai, HI born and raised. Recently bought a 2002 Tundra with a crap ton of problems. Broken suspension, original timing belt , damaged interior, scratched and dented to hell, and some rust here and there. Bought it as a back up to our 2016 Tundra (road princess) since she started taking a beating from all the kids and dog. Now, plan is to build it with my family into an “adventure rig”. Modest upgrades to come in the build section: suspension, interior, rust repair, some body work (don't care how she looks really), and engine refresh.

    Welcome aboard! How’s the frame? The last few I had from the windward side were rotten.

    Sup Killah, damn you in Canada now!?!? Big difference from our weather! Frame isn't that bad actually. Only major rust near the rear bumper mounting locations, but not too concerned with em.

    Yeah… it’s colder… there’s one hell of a lot more space though.
