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

no was available 01-04. Only 800 of them.

 

2001 through 2004

 

Antenna mount? Looks better than drilling a hole.

Or am I dumb.

 

No shit 800? Wow.

 

Stoked for this!

 

They're all over AZ, must've been popular option for the local dealers. Saw a nice black one the other day.

 

yep, antenna mount, and i am working with the designer/fabricator specifically because i don't want to drill my roof.

 

Beat to hell 5-lugs are all the rage in the Bay Area. Seems like every gardener and shady contractor in the state has a 1st gen 5-lug Tacoma.

 

Socal is the same way. LOOOOOTS of doublecab TRD prerunners being used as gardener trucks. If its not that, its a 90's Pickup dually with a stake bed filled with lawnmowers. Pushing those little 22R motors to greatness.

 

Solid little units, the 2RZ is a good engine and manual transmissions hardly ever break. I'd love a little 2WD Taco but I don't really have a use for another truck, can get them for a grand around here though.

 

would be the greatest little autocross/rallycross taco ever haha

 

That cheap? Wow. The highest mileage 5-lug here goes for $2,000-$3,000 at the lowest.

That guy on here that made it to 998,000 had a 5-lug 2RZ.

 

Pretty dope!

 

They're a dime a dozen, 4WD and things that ride at 4WD height are far more popular and demand a higher price.

 

Part of me wants to buy a 5 lug W59 and finally learn how to drive stick.

 

Buy any old POS and learn to drive stick, hell you're in HS still right. Gotta have a friend with a ratty old Jetta or someone with an old Datsun or something right?

 

Ha... half the kids in my class doesn't even know how to put gas in their car let alone drive a stick. I know two people who have a stick shift and one of them doesn't even know how to drive it.

It's also a reaaaallly nice Honda Prelude and I'd feel bad burning the clutch in it.

 

i remember a kids dad gave him a z06 for his 16th b-day but the dad swapped the engine from his truck with the corvette. so the corvette had a v6. i found it dumb but smart at the same time

 

a dying art almost.

Glad two of mine are manuals. Teaching the gal on my single cab now that she can practice daily. Thats the big part. Not hard to learn, but hard to get really good and comfortable. Takes repetition more than anything.
