Hey everyone, new to Tacoma world, Tacoma trucks & toyotas in general

(EDIT: decided I should upload some pics of my truck along with my introduction for you guys to check out)

hey Guys, I found this website about a week ago looking up some things for my Tacoma and fell in love so I just had to create an account lol I’m new to ALL of this.

I just bought my truck less than a month ago. I’ve always been a Chevy man owning a ‘95 Chevy Z71 with 6”skyjacker lift running 35” nitto mid grapplers with a lot of other customizations.

Unfortunately I had to sell about a year ago and just drove my girlfriends little Mazda 6 back and forth to work until I got another truck.
Anyways, I’ve always thought Tacoma’s looked sexy as hell and wanted one and when my chance came up to get one about 3 weeks ago I jumped on it.

I have a black 2003 (1st gens are the best) Toyota Tacoma prerunner sr5 ext cab With the 3.4L V6 & auto trans. Completely stock as far as I know other than the 265/70 tires I put on it, I think those are a little bigger than the stock size for these type of trucks right? Lol

I must say I am now a FAN of Tacoma’s they won my love from Chevy, I plan on keeping a taco for the rest of my life, the one I have now has a lil over 250k miles which is pretty high but it was taken care of regularly and not driven very hard (gotta love a older gentleman who knows his stuff) I plan on keeping up everything along with preventative maintenance and from what I’ve read on here it should easily go 3-400k+.

So if anyone has any questions I’ll be more than happy to answer em asbestos I can haha so thanks for having me guys! Looking forward to asking a lot of questions and answering some as well learning more about & comparing Tacoma’s! Cheers!
