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

Thanks,

I see you're in Boulder... I picked up the wheels in Longmont and the rear bumper & step bars from a kid in Loveland back in November of 2010.
I hit 166,666 miles on that trip - southbound on I-25 just south of the CO/WY border.

 

How many miles on it when you sold it?

 

179976... I reaaaally wanted to see 200k on this one before I sold it...
but once I found out kids seats don't fit in the back of an extended cab, I started looking & I found this one almost immediately, & once I brought the doublecab home it was just a PITA juggling 3 vehicles & a 2-car garage.

 

35"s are here!

 

Fuckin

 

Toyotaowners.com will let you run VIN's.

 

I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but they do.

Granted only one fits back there so if you have two kids, it doesn't make sense...

...unless of course they're both in booster seats - which the ext cab can accomodate two in the back

 

From what i have learned with my frame replacement experience, as soon as you buy a used car take it to the dealer and have them run the vin. If something has an open recall have them check it again even if the recall has been done. When my spare tire fell out of my truck and I saw all of the rust I bought I was furious.

 

HAHA read the post before your last.

 

I just dont trust them. Toyota of greer did my initial frame recall and sprayed it with the sealer before I bought it. Took it to greenville and asked about it and they said oh yeah it was done at greer so i took it back and bitched because it was all fucked up on the inner frame and they were basically kissing my ass. The service manager was like "OH YOU CANT DRIVE THIS HOME!!!!" I am very lucky to have every single visit the previous owner had documented on that toyota owners site. Dont assume anything. You know what they say about the word assume right? BTW love the truck man. If I didint live thousands of miles away I would love to go to Moab. Wheel some easy shit and camp. Just the scenery would blow my mind im sure.

 

Sorry to hear...what flares are those? They don't really look like the bush wackers.

Is that you admitting our years are the best?

 

Id take a hilux over a tacoma of the equal deneration any day. Minus the crazy ass vent visors.

 

SICK!!

Sorry to hear that man was a great looking truck..the 96 clan has lost another great member









oh a side note..i mocked up the roof rack on my bed rack..




and laughed at this!

Before..after!!

Thought my headlights were oddly dim on my drive home tonight. Sure enough, one bulb is out. Silverstar ultras I put in 6 months ago I had great luck with the last set in my previous car, they lasted over 18 months...

On the bright side, I passed three cops on the way home and didn't get pulled over. So that's good...

 

god that is a tiny useless bed!

 

There has to be a warranty on something like that.

 

Oh yeah I didn't expect them to last long, but certainly longer than 6 months. But then again, I use them a ton in the winter and all the time on the highway because it's illegal to have them off.

Which PIAAs do you have? I may look into them instead. But I do like the white color of the silverstars for winter driving up here. It seems to cut through snow and rain better than stock.
