2003 Toyota MR-S (mr-2 spyder)
2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport 6 spd
So.....what can I say about this truck?
This truck has been a total nightmare. No fault of the truck, but the dealer and acquisition of this truck has been a nightmare. I bought this truck from my local dealer May 31st. So, where do I start??
When I picked the truck up, the drivers front fender flare had a 1” gap where the adhesive tape wouldn’t stick, causing it to lift. I dropped the truck back off at the dealer with 494 miles to get the flare fixed and paint protection film installed, AND THEN, not only did they do a terrible job on the film, but they cut into the paint on my front bumper with a razor blade. Then, 2 days later, at 570 miles, a rock cracked the windshield. So for now, the truck is at the bodyshop getting the front bumper painted. Then it will get re-wrapped by my wrap guy, then it will get a new windshield, then I can maybe drive it again. Damnit!

Garage Build 2018!!
So, where do I start? I lost my mom January of 2018. Before she passed, my mom sat me down and had a conversation with me about what I was going to inherit and what she felt I should do with it. Her instructions were clear; “Do something you’d otherwise never be able to do, and may never be able to do again. Like building your dream garage.” SO, once I was able to comprehend living my life without my mother in my corner, I got to honoring her so well chosen request. I mean, really, who knows you better than your mother? This gallery is a chronological order of the build, starting with a picture that shows the house before any construction took place. Enjoy!
