What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

I miss mine sometimes

 

Yeah, you know what? I didn't get to see many of the pics from your tacos man. Looks killer though

 

Man, those tires and ditch lights are hawt

 

Got some 2012 Toyota center caps for my 2012 Lexus IS250 wheels.




Also ordered up a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4S in 245/45/17's....

 

Ok, now I want a 5-lug. But converted to electric using various EV car parts (Tesla drivetrain, Volt batteries, etc)

 

There still going strong!

 

I say get one!

It feels like a Tesla after driving my lifted 3rd gen 4runner daily for years!!

 

Starting to get somewhere, bumper went on real nice. Now if only my crank gear would arrive.

 

where is the best place (region) to shop for 5 lug

 

Estate sales of old people?

 

Yes it was dishpan. A group of drunk jeeps on 40's had a hard time on this and dug out everything. Luckily Toyotas are narrow and we could pick different lines.

And manual hubs are life!

there is a greyish 5-lug in my general area ... utterly rare around here
its a 95.5-96 model which i have been drooling over every time i pass it parked in the street
gonna stop and get a pic one of these days

 

hey now.. lol

 

I know 3 people who drive 5 lugs, two of them are dead

 

I have a 5-lug. I'm also dead inside.

 

Hang in there, it'll get better.

I meant within a 12 mile radius of where I used to live

 

I guess me being 24 and driving one I must be a unicorn then haha


Looking at LT for it in the future tho, so guess I'll be on a different "use plan" than the oldies u knew

 

I thought it was. I almost flopped right where you did. That day two truck rolled, not in my group, but its notorious for putting trucks and jeeps to bed. Definitely a pucker factor trail and glad I did it, but not gonna risk that again.

If anyone’s looking

 

For region I would say Southwest so you dont have the rusty frames these are known for, though I live in So Cal so I am biased.. But they are hard to come by in clean condition and still sell within days normally when they are posted.

The best bet is to search all online sources near you every day and soon as you see a clean one that they are not asking $8-10 grand for (not joking) go check it out as quick as you can!! It took me months to find this one and I thought it was a great deal at $4k. It even came with a nice shell I removed right away!



I did detail the interior and add the buckets, oem floor mats, and wipers already. Got an oem stereo I am adding aux too that will go in soon too, etc.etc..


Best of luck on your hunting!
