Hello Tacoma World! Newbie Here

Been lurking around here for the past couple of months. I have been looking at getting a 1st gen Tacoma for a while now. I sold my Jeep earlier this year and have been on the look out for Tacoma's ever since. I hope to be picking up a 2002 Tacoma SR5 TRD 4x4 with 140k on it this weekend . That is why I have been lurking, trying to do all the research I can on what kind of lift I want ect.
Once I pick up the truck and start wrenching on it, I am sure I will have some questions.

Thanks,
Josh

 

Welcome man! post up some pictures when you get it!

 

Will do, hopefully it will be tomorrow!

 

Welcome to the forum Josh

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Picking up the truck tomorrow! I will try to get some pictures posted up later this weekend when I get it back home after the thanksgiving holiday.

Now to start the mods! I think one of the first things is going to be a winch for the ARB bumper that is already on the truck. Then some new wheels and tires. I found some 31x10.5x15 BFG KM2's on black rims on CL for a pretty good deal. I am going to check them out and see if the rims will clear the calipers. If they do, I will have new tires on the truck by the end of the weekend as well!

Can't wait to get this truck off road here in CO!

 

Welcome

 

Aloha!

 

Welcome, and congrats, fellow 1st gen!

Welcome to TW from Sparks, NV

 

So I picked up my first Tacoma this past weekend. Here is how she looked the day I picked it up.


Then I removed the shell and ladder rack. I also picked up some black steelies with 31" BFG K/M2's off of Craigslist and installed them. Here is how she looks today.


Hopefully in January I will have a new OME suspension under this thing and a winch installed. The MOD bug started quick with this thing!
