    Greeting all,

    I bought my 2000 Tacoma in 2002 and have driven it everyday since. Its starting to show its age but I can't bring myself to get rid of it yet.

    I'm hoping to get info here to combat some of what I'm hoping to be common problems people face as these little bullet proof trucks face as they age.

    I also love Old Honda Minitrails.61490555071__DB591B18-BCD9-4B7C-BDB3-609424FAA797.jpg

    Welcome to Tacomaworld. Your truck looks like it has aged extremely well! I don't think they actually get many common problems. I'd say drive it as frequently as you can and enough to get it fully warmed up when you do, and keep it happy by giving it work to do. (Like hauling your bikes in the back.) :thumbsup:
