    1995 Tacoma Xtra Cab
    Hello,

    I'm new to the forums and recently purchased a 1995 Tacoma Xtra Cab 4x4 with 227,000 miles.

    I'm sure there are stick(ies) for this, but cannot find one. Is there a list of things I should do to the truck? Radiator flush, plugs/wires, oil change, etc.

    I understand some of these things are a no brainer, but is my best bet to simply take it to a mechanic for an assessment?

    Thanks for your time and patience.

    That's impressive. I've been on here almost 4 years and it would appear you have a more impressive rep. Well done.
