1995.5 Tacomas only - how many are still out there

I’d have to buy & build a shed for it.
Plus, my only “tow vehicle” is my 2.4 with a 3500 lb max

 

I think I got tagged in the buttocks .....



Not OEM (at least for a 95, but is for a 78-83 1 ton), but I like it.

 

Now ... that sucks!

 

Holly shit. Are you OK? It looks bad.

 

glad you were not hurt, jamesboy

 

did you hit the windshield?
how fast were you traveling

 

yikes

 

At highway speed accident, no seat belts and no scratch . And some saying they want second or turd gen because they are safer .

 

i think jamesboy may also be young and more limber (more so than I )

 

sold 4 days ago for $12,600

'beautiful in every way' .... needs new scuff plate screws!

 

headed to salvage yard today to pick some parts off a totalled 95.5 single cab bluegray interior AT 4wd
they told me its headed to the crusher this week
any parts anybody need checked on?
I think it has a topper shell (have to remove that to get to rear glass)

 

Want parts ... too far away ...

I’d take the entire interior.

 

what parts do you want?
i am going to remove that dash (i think its in decent shape)
unfortunately this place does not provide pics (so I have to drive 50 miles to see whats what (again) already went last week)

 

Front bumper hardware
Front bumper?
Dash
Door panels, parts
I want stuff to play with

I need to find a SC in a yard closer.

 

most of it (interior) was gutted when I checked, engine was taken, major drivers side collision with airbag deployed
I am taking a hammer and pounding that frame just to see how good it handled 180k miles
i can check on the bumper/hardware again but its the point of impact

 

OK
I’d be interested in a bed ...
But ... shipping would be insane.

 

yeah would have to utilize some TW cross country express with trailer
I would have to check for perforations on the bed, I noticed the rocker panels were holy as can be last time
... will try to get pics this time

 

Yeah ...
Don’t worry about it.

I’m much more likely to find a gen 1 bed down in the SC.

 

For over 4 years, I've had a '96 base, 2.4, 5-speed, standard-cab and a couple years ago, during my AC installation, I looked at a bunch of Tacoma parts-trucks online and in salvage-yards.
I noticed one '95 Tacoma for sale online had the same stainless full wheel-covers as my '96 came with. Then I lost one of mine and the few decent ones I saw on Ebay were $50 - $80 each! All th e post '96 Tacoma wheel-covers I've seen have been the plastic ones.
I was wondering what was the deal with these hubcaps. Also, if there are any visible details on the body or trim to tell a '95 from a '96?
I wound up getting a semi-decent looking set of "14 plastic Corolla hubcaps at P-N-P, for $10. Later I found a pair of the original stainless ones on craigslist for $60, but I need to re-rivet all the retainer clips on these before I can trust them.

Happy Motoring, Mark

 

I remember those wheel covers. I remember in 96 I was the quick oil change, wash and vac kid at a dealership. Was my Sr year high school. I remember thinking these hubcaps are so nice! Lol
