    Always wanted a 01-04 tacoma. Sold my First Gen 83 and started looking. Got lucky and found a good one. It’s a lil high on miles 225000 But all service was done by the Toyota house. Got it home and put the take off wheels n tires from the wife’s tacoma. Gonna try n keep it low key.

    Nice, everyone should have a first gen.

    Keeping it low key just means you haven't decided to start throwing money at it...

    IF you want, there's the "grey wire mod" that will allow you to use the locker even in 2wd. I personally haven't done it, and since you have 4wd, that'll give you more traction anyway, but some people like it.

    Ok. Son sent me a listing off Vilmontmarket about a killer deal on some Method 105’s beadlock wheels with bfg tires. Was to good of a deal to let go. So met the guy in Dallas. Got home and put them on the truck. look good but, rub bad. So got the toytec eibach 3 inch shock kit and rear spring helper kit.
    Just need to get front end aligned. Since stock didn't last. Have AllPro nerfbars on the way. and looking at the coastal offroad bumpers.
