It didn’t come with an owners manual so dad ordered one from eBay for $30

Also doesn’t have a jack or lug wrench for spare tire so dad ordered a use set from eBay for $100 so I have that as well

Need to change driveshaft still but only get a vibration at speed over 65mph. Toyota wants $1350 for drive shaft but 1aauto has one of $350 and dad said we could change it ourselves in a couple hours at the most.

Ordered driveshaft today so hopefully we'll have that fixed this weekend.

Yesterday vehicle was at Muffler Man and had new muffler put on as well as had some help removing some bolts I snapped off the transfer case yoke while putting on new driveshaft. Total bill was $650

Today we got plates put on the car which cost Alex $191 but his plates expire on his birthday in 6 months at which time he'll have to pay the $122 to renew for a year.

Check Engine light came on when we took it out for a drive today so made an appointment at Toyota tomorrow at 10am to have them help identify the issue.
