Just got me a Taco!! ..first post!

Hello Tacoma world!
I'm a so-cal resident and the new proud owner of a 2000 white Tacoma 2WD TRD! (150k miles)

Bought it for $1.00!!!
Hehe gift from dad!

Anyways this is my first post and can't wait to dive into the taco world.

Things to know..
I'm looking to create a road trip camper truck.
Already bought a cap although it's an off fit, it's close enough for now.

I'm looking to get a sub to match the aftermarket door speakers (entry level) and maintain extra cab space for my dog.

Also I need to swap shocks and don't know anything about anything!

Thanks for the help!

 

Welcome to TW! Lots of great people on here in so cal. Let the mod's begin.

 

Welcome. I'll give you $2! Double your money. Lol

 

Welcome to TW! Awesome pic at the end.

 

Talk to Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road for all your suspension needs.

 

Just saw this post. Will it work for my truck?

Also would this lift it or no?
I'm not sure if I want any more lift. It's not a priority at the moment. I have a blown shock though..so I need to do something.

 

Will work. Might give a lift less than an inch since yours are blown.

 

Thanks!
New question..
Are these the adjustable height ones?

 

Negative. Those are OEM Toyota/Bilsteins that came stock on TRD models.

The adjustable ones you're thinking of are Bilstein 5100s.

 

Also before you buy, you might wanna contact Bilstein and see if they'll replace the blown shock. Bilstein has lifetime warranties. Not sure if it's applicable with the OEM Toyota/Bilstein shocks that come on our trucks though.

 

Have fun lots of good people on here. Prepare and get ready for the mods and empty wallet!

 

Welcome to the site, tons of inspiration to find here. Check out this dog platform & bed setup I built for my extra cab.

 

Whoops! I added text to the wrong part.

 

Yeah, both sides are on hinges to flip up. Usually both dogs are back there and my wife can't lay all the way back- but enough to snooze during trips. But if the small dog is on her lap, big dog in back, she can swing the passenger side shelf up to lean all the way back. Big gain was getting all of my tools inside the cab with such a high platform. Nice to gain storage in the cab when we've got such limited space out back. Sub would be fine too- just a lot of vibrations for your dog I'd imagine.

 

Welcome to the site Adam!

 

Nice build thanks for sharing! Gives me ideas for my attempt. And yeah my dog is not a fan of loud music the sub is for out of car playing or no dog around bumping.

 

No worries- all the best! Only reason I said that about the sub is, I replaced my speakers for nice ones- but can never turn it up very loud because my dog is in there with me haha.

 

Congrats. White Gen 1's FTW. I put one of these under my seat. Doesn't rattle the wheels off, but gives it just enough. I also like the fact that it's tucked out of the way and can't be seen from the outside (theft deterrent).

Nice first gen, can't find many in good shape out here. 100$ I'll buy it which is 1000% profit
