Well your learning the skills necessary to get through life and raise a family day to day settling for the best you can do.Don't forget to take a minute in your struggles to appreciate your grandfather and what he's teaching you.

Diffrence is that it seems you can somewhat afford to put it in the shop. My 9 bucks an hour leaves me at 270 a week and about 1000 a month. factor in bills 450 a month and gas 400 a month I am screwed. PS. smoking habit is roughly 155 a month and I smoke as generic as they come unless I go to San diego than I buy camel lights or my mexican goes to mexico than 20 bucks a carton for duty free camels

Seems to me the real root cause problems are a low paying job and a nasty ciggie habit. How are either of these things the Ranger's fault?

Not smoking would save 155/month and your life, but its your bod, do as you see fit. Just don't blame the Ranger cause you burn your money away.

Also besides not being broke th other thing that bugs me is that my uncles v6 1997 tacoma went to 256,000 miles without replacing anything but tires, a battery and a starter. the guy went 11,000 miles without changing his oil btw. Never a balljoint or suspension or electrical issue. also auto hubs never failed him

then go get a rice eating tacoma and GTFO
cant completely believe that, he havent replaced sparkplugs or belts, filters, spark wires??
i believe the hubs on those tacomas were still manual correct me if wrong

well replacing oil at 11k miles answers my question...
for me that aint toughness or reliability, for me thats not giving maintenance!
he replaced tires cuz they were flat and battery cuz it died, well he did those cuz he wont roll without any of those.

No I far and away prefer the ranger but often wonder why the tacoma is soo much more reliable.

Its not. My front end is still in good shape, and mostly original. The only front end parts that have been replaced are the shocks and the long tie rod. I did the shocks as a pair just because its better than doing them one at a time. The driver's side shock and the long rod were both damaged when I tried to take a corner too fast and went out into a field. Shocked the shock into leaking and bent the rod. Steering wheel was upside down.
