Cleanest 1st Gen - Should have kept it!

I sold my 1st gen a couple of years ago and was reminiscing over these photos the other day. Thought they’d be worth sharing! It had the very rare sunroof…

 

No arguments here... You should have kept it. Lunar mist was the best color on the 1st gen. Some high school kid probably hacked it up and put a spacer lift on it.

 

Fortunately a firefighter bought it and kept it completely stock aside from a shell!

 

:'(

That sunroof is super nice.I didn't even know that was an option.

 

That is the best possible outcome. Firefighters sell good stuff and take care of what they have.

 

It’s pretty rare and by far my favorite option.

 

are those special seat covers or what is it?

why is Lunar Mist best colour?

 

Looks good dirty. Looks great clean. Hides the most dents, dings, scratches. Held up to the elements before Toyota started painting trucks with bad paint.

 

Any more pictures of the sunròof?

 

Those are the wet okole seat covers - I had to order them with the TRD logos. They have a bunch of colors to pick from and are quite popular. They’re a bunch of threads on here about them…

 

It holds its age really well. I remember polishing the paint and I was blown away with how well it came out. It’s a great low maintenance and sharp color.

 

This is the only other photo I can find. It’s when I bought the truck…

 

We need aftermarket sunroof kits

 

And you replaced her with... a newer Tacoma?

 

This 2nd gen was the replacement - 2014 4.0 with currently 55k miles. But I’m actually getting ready to sell it…

 

Another member of the I didnt know what I had when I had it club... I have only sold one of my Tacomas, a base model 5 speed 2.4 to a young man that was starting college. His father flat out told him in front of me, you wreck this, you sell this, you do anything stupid with this and I am not buying you another anything, you will be walking. Dad knew the deal he was getting and why I was doing it.

 

For what?
You might regret that as well!

 

I’m at a point where I don’t need a truck and I need something to commute to the city…

 

It’s hard selling them, but at the end of the day it’s just a truck…
