    Not on this truck. It only has 81K on the ODO. I sold my '05 because it wasn't going to pass this year and I didn't want to dump more money into a truck with almost 440K on it.

    2001 AC SR5; I forget how many miles this truck has on it, but I talked to the owner during a previous visit to Raceway Park in 2018 and know it has close to 200K at a minimum (May have been more like 150K in 2018). Note the AAA sticker on the left side of the rear bumper; Proof it's the same truck...

    Don't know what year this is, as the license plate didn't come up on Carfax; I initially thought it was a 2001-2004 model due to seeing it from the back at first, but the front obviously gives it away as a 1995-1997 model. The truck also has a bench seat, and I can't remember if it had power windows and locks or not, but it has an automatic transmission...

    I'm pissed; The SD card in my camera decided to glitch out and dumped between 200 and 300 photos from the car show I went to in Ephrata yesterday, including a sharp red 1999 Tacoma AC 5-lug SR5 with a 5-speed stick and 240K miles!

    :annoyed:

    You're in my region =) Hope you install some catalytic protection. 2 neighbors with 1st gen Tacos got hit a few weeks ago with catalytic thefts. My Taco was spared due to having a catclamp. My Accord was was not so lucky, catalytic was sawed off a few months ago. Thats what made me protect my Taco. Hondas have been hit hard in the east bay. Thieves will saw it off in your driveway even with the grinding noise of the sawzall cutting metal. I heard one go down in the middle of the night out of my window. Nieghbor's Honda Element in his driveway with his bedroom just above it. By the time I realized what it was, they were done and hopping into their car.
