What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

looks good!

 

Finally took my running boards off. Truck really does have a better look without them.

 

his back tire is off the ground. plus how else would you rotate them with one tire off?

 

Didn't happen today, but drove it into the driveway for possibly the last time Friday. Finally got me a more reliable truck, still a Tacoma fan though!

 

What'd you get?

 

what did you get?

 

Downey leafs installed today and 5125's. My damn drivers side sits at least an 1" lower than the passenger. The flex is nice...got dark so not really any pics.

 

A 2002 Black Chevrolet Silverado 1500 single cab 4x4 v6 with 116,000 miles on the body, and about 30,000 on the motor. Got a really good deal on it. Reason for getting something else is that I needed something that could drive all the way to San Antonio this Fall.

 

so you bought a chevy??

 

thank you!

 

OMG....


FAIL!

 

Yeah? I've always liked Chevy's, whole family has either owned a Chevy or Toyota.

 

Hmm, guess it looks like I shouldn't have even bothered posting on here...

 

hmmm....good luck

I would take a broken toyota over a cheby any day. Why not have just used the money that you bought the cheby with to fix the issues with the tacoma?

 

Hell I would have saved my money and walked.

Buying a Chevrolet means you wasted money and you'll still end up walking.


Nothing....but....junk!

 

i see nothing wrong with chevy. you see more 200k chevys n fords than ya do toyotas...

 

Tacoma needs quite a few things but they can be fixed. But after I wrecked and the frame was straightened back out the whole front end doesn't line up which causes a lot of other problems that can't be fixed unless you were to buy a new frame, a-arms, spindles, and other things. Also the engine has an oil leak. No where near enough reliable to drive far. It's to the point that it stressed me out driving to work or letting my girlfriend ride in it because every week there's a new noise coming from somewhere. I'm just going to sell it so someone that needs a good hunting truck or something. Would be a great starter for and SAS conversion, but not for a daily driver...
And honestly I know it's idiotic to argue on a Toyota forum as to why Chevrolet or any other car brand is as good as well, everybody has their own opinions. For us, all Chevy's we've owned have been great to us as well as all our Toyotas.

Everybody is entitled to an opinion, Chevys and Toyotas have always been good to us and reliable, simple as that.

Agreed.

 

On their 3rd engine and 12th transmission...yeah...then that's true.

 

Awesome truck!

 

The reason this one had a new engine put in it was because the 2nd owner let their daughter borrow it, snapped a belt or something (don't exactly remember what the 3rd owner said) and ran it hot blowing the motor. All three owners are one family. The Granddad bought it new, sold it to one of his sons, who sold it to one of their brothers.

Sorry I'm threadjacking! This is supposed to be about what you've done to your tacoma, not about other vehicles....
