How many miles are on your 1st Gen Tacoma

111,000 miles original owner.

 

384,800+

 

have you done any engine/transmission work on it?

 

340,000ish. New clutch at 300,000

 

Amazing little trucks

 

is that it? any engine/transmission work? (other than valve cover gasket)

 

what bumper is that?

 

Shrock Works.

 

I have not done any engine work since I have owned it (almost 17 years) with the exception of recently replacing a cam seal while I had my timing belt and water pump replaced last month.

No transmission work either - I replaced the transmission fluid a couple years ago with no gear slippage whatsoever- I heard reading on this forum that slippage was a possibility when changing the fluid.

interesting note, the shop showed me the water pump they replaced - it was fully functional, and looked still new to me- it had almost 120,000 miles on it if I recall - it was an aisan part, same as what I replaced it with

 

Just rolled over 129k this week.

 

I've got 248k on mine and it still runs pretty good! 25k have been my miles. Last owner (original) was a dip and beat the piss out if it as a drywall guy. Now I beat the piss out of it as an off-road guy.

 

283k and climbing. It sees a fair amount of abuse and handles it pretty well!

I've done quite a bit of maintenance - often upgrades, but nothing major was actually required so far in my 4 years of ownership.

had close to $5000 (probably a bit over) in mods & non-routine maintenance last year, big ticket items which did not include my sweat nor pains & suffering incurred
... is it time to let it go, have been getting some peer pressure as of late on TW
such as this creation...

 

Freaking love the short stout compact front end on the early first gens. Sweet taco hermano

 

it definitely has its advantages when wheeling with the big 3rd gens and the largesse they sport up front
i was looking right down on top of them rocks, square in the eye, in the Wisconsin forest while they might've been playing guessing games on whether they passed by the stones or yet to hit

 

Just turned 169K, not much compared to others on here, thats on a 2003 ext cab sr5 trd.

 

I concur. The 1995.5-1997 face is the best Tacoma face. Anyhoo, my favorite earthly possession just turned 116,000 miles.

 

Looks like you got buried in that record breaking snow the other day.
Makes me so happy, because I feel the same, when people's most favorite things aren't the most ridiculous expensive dumb things. I'm glad your fave thing is well made and reliable and it should definitely return as much love to you, as you've shown it
