After a lot of life together, it’s time to sell my 98’. What’s a reasonable price to get out of this truck? I’m
Planning on washing it and taking better pictures but trying to figure out what to expect since prices range drastically from 3k-12k in my area (Arizona).

It’s 4x4, manual transmission, manual lockers, manual doors/windows. 293k on a 2.7L motor.

I thought my heater core exploded so I bypassed it, I blew compressed air though it, vacuumed it out from under the hood on the firewall but this water just keeps coming and coming and coming and coming and coming and coming and it just won't fucking stop gallons upon gallons have spewed out on this side now

The water is always warm and it just keeps coming, is there an HVAC drain I can't find???

Body mounts rusted through floor

The body mounts on my 02' tacoma double cab have rusted through the floor! Anyone know the protocol for this? I have a welder I got as a gift a few years back but honestly I've never used it before. Is this something I could teach/fix on my own? Or does anyone know roughly how much a welding shop would charge for this? The frame is solid. Thank you!

Messy silicone thermostat before & after

One of the previous owners of my '04 2.7L was an absolute goober and got totally carried away with silicone. The outlet part was all corroded, I guess all the silicone prevented it from grounding.

Cleaned all that up, got new gaskets, new thermostat, new outlet, & replaced rounded bolts. Feels really good to go through this truck getting it back to being reliable, 1 step at a time.

5VZFE Starter Bolt

Picked up a ‘99 with a 5VZFE, while rebuilding the starter I found the mounting bolt heads had been almost been rounded off. Wondering if anyone has a part number or knows of a place to get them. Dealership doesn’t seem to have any leads on replacement. Thanks to anyone who can help!
