I love my 1st Gen.

Don't you? I just look outside everyday and love it. looks way cooler than any other truck of it's age. actually of any other truck.
It performs perfectly always.
everything(except the clock) is designed perfectly.
what's your fav part about your first gen?

 

I don't own a first gen, but I sure do love them. Does that work?

 

sure does! you ever had one? ridden in one? driven one? what did you like about it?

 

Is that I never run out of mods!!!!

 

20-25 mpg better than my 02 2500HD 6.0L

 

I miss the ride, it felt the way I expected a small truck to ride. Oh and of course the reliability was fantatastic

 

Almost bought one. Loved the truck. The only reason why I didnt get it (
04 DC 4x4 TRD) was because it was too small for me (6"2 and 260lbs). My 2nd gen is perfect.

Biggest thing I like about the 1st gen is the Manual Transfer case. None of that electric crap!

 

My brother 02redtacoma has an 02 and loves it and i rode in it and it rides ROUGH until he got new tires, plus he has 20's on it so it rides soo much differently
heres his video's, the first one has me on the side of the road taping lol

thats a fair reason. yea lots of mods and i feel like it was built for a person like us. just today i was able to hide ALL of the wires that go to my sub and amp, under the carpet, into the cubby and out by the back seatbelt. stoked!
I also ordered a Cobra 18 WX ST II CB, a 3' firestick and some 9' belden coax cable. the cb is going to fit right in the dash!

 

The 4x4 shift lever! Thanks Tigerfan00 for the pic.

 

yea it's pretty good, I wish i knew they came with a J shifter, I got the limited from 01 so it has the push button, scares me to use push button sometimes.

should heat the air duct and sink that cb in a little bit.

 

The limited 1st gen had push button 4x4? where was the button located?

 

yea, kinda silly i think, i'll go take a pic. hopefully no one tells you before im back. actually F*ck it, on the side of the 4x4 shifter. still gona take a pic. i'll get a pic of the hidden wires from the sub too!

 

I like people asking me how much I've raised it... although it's just sitting stock... stock higher then there raised trucks....

 

I sometimes sneak into the garage when my wife is not looking and stand there looking at it. It's so tough, fun, and ready-to-mud-womp just sitting there. It's almost like he's calling me "hey come out and play!"

Notice that my truck is just about the same exact Toyota as yours. They sure are great looking in that color and setup.

 

yea I love the color and matched flares.
here's the 4wd button


can't actually see much, but they are barely visible at all!

 

personally i wouldnt do the cb like that it just looks like it shouldnt be thare and it stick out too far
u should do it like i did mine

 

or like mine, the cobra 18 fits in my dash right under my head unit but fills the space.

 

Coming from a 91 Toyota truck, the tacoma interiors are much more comfortable, the dash easier to read, better headlights and a more reliable, stronger V6. The beds on the old trucks were less resistant to corrosion too.
