What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

You could have mine for $12k

 

Lol but yours isn't dbl cab right?! Is it automatic? I can't do manual too many hills in SF.

 

drove it to the liquor store

 

That's pretty pricey. Then again, it is a rust-FREE Cali truck. Plus, there aren't that many DC V6 4x4s around anyway. Still though, that's a huge chunk. See if they'll take 12k - 13k. Good luck either way!

 

Extra cab 5 speed as DC never had a 5 speed option.

 

I heard air hissing when i pressed the brake pedal last night moving it. Didn't notice it before. That still a symptom of a bad brake booster?
Thank you

 

Your liquor store is in the ghetto too?

 

I know it's quite a bit for a truck that might not last another 10 years. I also saw a red dbl cab same options and looked identical but only had 67k miles but it was 20k. It's also 3.5 hrs drive to get to it.

Yea sorry bro can't do manual. Why don't you want it anymore?

 

Cause I never use it..

I drove it today to work though.

Honestly you should learn to drive a stick, its 1000000000x more fun to drive.

 

I want to learn! I tried driving a little stick shift geo that my buddy had but I kept stalling it haha.. Honestly the hills w/ stop signs in this area are ridiculous and I'm always driving through them, auto just makes the most sense for me right now.

 

ebrake is your friend when starting on hills in a manual. id want an automatic too though if i was you lol

 

I have been driving a manual for over 20 years.... SF is not the place to learn, it requires some special skills. I always enjoyed the challenge of driving around there, but was exhausted by the time I go my destination.

 

I've never once used my ebrake when starting on a hill.. just fast switch from brake to gas pedal and half let out the clutch all at the same time and catch the truck right away with very minimal backwards motion. Takes some practice but you get used to it.

 

Dang I didn't know first gens still went for that much! 20k is crazy! And yeah the hills in the city would be terrible for a manual... I hate driving there always take my accord or Bart!

 

Replaced my fuel filter last night! Easy breezy!

 

well obviously once you are used to driving a standard you don't need to lol i only use the ebrake on steep hills when offroading, might be helpful for someone who doesn't have a feel for it yet and just learning in a place with big ass hills though

 

I know right?! I'm considering trying to talk them down a little but even 18-19k is a lot..

Haha yea skills I don't have, 99% sure it's going to be an auto. The double cabs only came in auto anyways and that's what I want I think.

 

????? My T4R had a hard pedal with zero addition pressure from the booster. I had to shift into neutral at stop lights to keep from rolling. it was $160 for a new one I think.

 

Yeah it's sounding more and more like i need a new brake booster.
