    After having my 02 Tacoma 2.7L for a couple months now I can officially say this is my favorite car I’ve owned. I love this Truck! Paid $7,000 for it, 220k miles and I’m the 3rd owner. It has Pioneer Apple car play head unit and 2amps under the seats and a JL Audio Stealthbox subwoofer between the two rear seats. Also it has king coilovers. Since I’ve had the truck here are some things I’ve done:
    • Oil & filter change 5W-30 Mobil 1 full synthetic high mileage and Toyota filter.
    • Chevron fuel system cleaner
    • Toyota air filter
    • Toyota fuel filter
    • Brake fluid flush Toyota DOT 3
    • Power steering fluid change Toyota DEXRON II
    • Transmission fluid change Toyota DEXRON II and Bottle of BG Automatic Transmission Conditioner
    • new Radiator and thermostat with Toyota red coolant
    • Rear diff fluid change
      $30 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 Quart (Pack of 2)
      75W-90 Mobil 1
    • Replaced rear diff vent valve
    • New spark plugs
    • Valve cover gasket replaced
    • Throttle body cleaned
    • Mass air flow sensor cleaned
    • Tire balance
    • Alignment
    • Weathertech floormats

    Wow, that is one clean taco you have there. Looks very well put together. I have a 2000 model same prerunner set up. Jealous of the front end and updated interior.

    Awesome set up! I don’t want to go bigger on my tires with the 2.7L, it’s already a slug

    Nice truck, I’d buy that for 7k too if I didn’t have one already. What is that armrest-looking carpeted partition between the back jump seats? My 04 manual trans doesn’t have that, it is just flat back there.

    Thanks man! And the armrest is actually a subwoofer that the previous owner put in.

    unfortunately the paint on my hood is too far gone so I’m not too worried about it. I do have a hood deflector on my 4Runner though.
