in good company

Hi people! Well my truck is 7 yrs old now. I bought it brand new back in 2001 and I'm gonna keep it! It still gets the looks (I personally think the 2001-2004 has an awesome body style) Anyway one thing I can say about all of you is that when it comes to dropping big dollars on a vehicle you all made a wise choice-these trucks (compared relatively to others) are bulletproof and will pay you back in resale and reliability!

 

I agree that the 01 to 04 is a great looking truck. personally i dont have a preference between those and the 2nd gen, i just got the 2nd gen cause of the power and the fact i wanted something new. BTW, whats up with the comcast.net handle? we had another member sign up with a similar name and just wondering if there was a connection between you two. Welcome to TW

 

Hi fmh,welcome to TW.

 

Welcome to TW, yes the 2001-4 are good looking, I was going to get one but could not find one that wasn't overpriced.

 

Welcome....as a new buyer, glad to hear my truck is going to last

 

Hi all- thanks for the welcome---cansomebody tell me how to get my e-mail outa the handle spot so I can put an actual handle in there?!

 

Welcome!

 

You might have to send a PM to tcBob about that one, He's the mastermind behind this operation.

 

Thanks for the advice-----but like where you have your nickname "TOY4LIFE" in which box in the edit spot did you put that?

 

Looks like Bob already got it!

 

DAMMMMMMM he's SUperfast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thanks!

 

If the U.S. Govt. ran the country the way Bob run this forum, we would rule the universe ! The worlds would quake in our presence !

 

nah.... Just no social life!









Sorry Bob, don't ban me.

 

Are you kidding? Look at the wars he lets go on!


Speaking of which, don't you feel a little isolated up here away from your C.A. brethren?

 

I'm a bit off my game today. Welcome to TacomaWorld!

 

Ridge... absolutely right on the financial aspect. I bought a 2002 Taco in 2004 for 20k, put about 80k miles on it...only service was one cv joint and a new steering pump, then resold it a month ago for 18.1K......
These things run forever and hold their Value.....wise choice...

I agree on the body styles..Gen #1 was a much nicer body style...
But, change is good...I guess.
Wish they had the Gen#1 body with the Gen#2 POWER...

 

Hey Surftodd. Me too on the power, but I have to admit I'm content with what it has. My exhaust mod added 22 hp. total 210hp. But we're talking about a 3800 lb truck. I find it totally adequate. I remember not too long ago owning a GMC Jimmy that weighed around 5200 lbs with a 155 hp 305 V8---and I thought that was ok at the time....guess it's all relative. Anyhoo the newer Tacomas are a bit heavier than mine so they need that extra 40 hp.

 

Hey Roland--thanks...great forum here-glad I found you guys!
