    Hi TW.

    I read lots and lots and lots of posts here. The information is priceless. Thank you.

    A few days ago, I just bought my 1st Tacoma
    (owned four 4runners since 1998 - now own a 2020 TRD Pro 4Runner - Army Green)

    2001 Tacoma Xtracab
    -150k miles
    -4WD
    -5spd manual
    -TRD Off Road Pkg
    -SR5
    -Cruise Control
    -Power windows, locks, mirrors
    -tow pkg
    -ABS
    -Bucket Seats
    -High 4wd selector switch
    -Sliding rear window

    Original owner sold it to me. The truck is OEM stock.

    A few things I have questions about:

    1. Headlight upgrade without changing stock look. Harness? Housings? Bulbs?
    2. Rims are surface pitted. Best solution to clean them up?
    3. What should I be watching/looking for to save headaches in the future?
    4. I like the stock look. Any mods to improve her while keeping her looking 2001?

    Thanks!

    Welcome
    1) I believe the basics of the 2nd gen lights apply to you but you probably have a ground switched system then do you want to weight H4 bulb performance for low or high beam https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/the-ultimate-headlight-upgrade-h4-not-led-or-hid.398066/
    2) not sure
    3) frame rust
    4) keep her clean and "waxed"

    The Console Vault safe appears to only be made for 2nd gen and newer, unless I'm reading it wrong?
