1st Gen Gold?! Prices going up for some rare OEM parts..

Painting does seem to be the best way to restore these if they are in good shape overall, you can go red or even get the factory silver going I am certain.

But then you don't get to spend BIG bucks on an OEM NOS part!!

 

Yikes, you threw some Tacoma GOLD right into the garbage?!?!

 

Whoa, this would be a nice touch to have in your truck!

 

It really would. That sun can be killer in the summer but I usually wear hats, can still be annoying though.

 

you can take a drive up the coast and take my old tailgate, still has the emblems in it.

Mudflaps! Ain’t no freaking way such a simple piece of black plastic should cost that much. $450ish for a new set?, now that’s some black plastic gold. On a somewhat related note, I’m missing a pass side front for all you Santas out there.

 

Thanks for the offer, sounds like a steal after seeing the price tags on ebay!!

 

Can you point me to the link?

 

A 1st gen DCSB BedRug (not really OEM) are pretty much impossible to come by these days. I should have put it on eBay for $1000 instead of giving @Madjik_Man a friend deal

 

SHHHH...Don't tell this guy his emblems are worth $80 easy in that condition.

I also asked for the link when I read this, but of course this was way too good to be true it seems as no link has materialized.. OEM GOLD for $20?!!

..guess we will have to chalk this one up as "fools GOLD"!!

 

Hahha, thanks for the additional tip on some nice used ones!!

Not sure how easy it would be to remove those without damaging them..

 

Who's got two thumbs and is super psyched?

 

My contribution to this thread: 01-04 center console assemblies.

I've seen them sell for over $200.

Good thing I bought two back in 2009 when I first joined TW.

One for $50 the other for $40. Both in mint shape.

 

Any manual transmission swap parts - especially the ECUs are expensive.

 

it’s in the link you posted. Scroll down and you’ll see similar items

 

FYI there is a plug and wires under the driver's seat that should plug right into those. I used it when I out powered camry seats in my taco.

I also used toyotapartsdeal.com when looking for OEM parts, some are cheaper than what you found on EBAY, like the frame for example is like $4,000. I have ordered from them a bunch.

I sent a whole front diff to the scrapper because I couldn't even give it away on here and I was going to deliver it to a wheeling event!!

 

Nice scores indeed!!

I was super excited when I found my center console earlier this year for $125, here it is after I thoroughly cleaned and shined it up.


And in my 5 lug regular cab.

 

Definitely only shop on ebay as very last resort in many cases! I also like toyotapartsdeal.com as they seem to have some hard to find vintage parts listed. Gold, as they say! I have rolled the dice a couple times ordering discontinued parts there only to get my order cancelled however.

The rear cab carpet trim panel was one of these items I was so happy to find I scooped it up quick as I could, only to be informed days later this gold is no longer available.

I would love to wire up my power lumbar.. not so sure it plugs right in for my truck since I have a 2002 regular cab. Any idea which of these wires under the driver seat to use?



Here is a close up shot of the harness, hope you can clarify on how I can get this done!


Power lumbar would be GOLD!!

 

It's that white plug by the grommet. It should plug right in as those were a factory option. If not you have power in those plugs, so cut and splice, I had to do that for the camry seats, but they work great!
