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

You traded 03 for 04??? I am a 1st Gen guy!!!!! I don't even want to think about what i will have to drive when these trucks are GONE!!!!

They are Hard to find and $$$$$$$$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

yeap!! I wanted a 4wd....shoulda just straight axled the 03....but then again it was a 4cyl.......V6 FTW

 

Good call! You better get it while you can....

I am going to post a thread asking what folks are going to get when our 1st Gens go the way of the dinosaurs & what folks would be willing to pay for a 1st Gen 5-10yrs from now????

Been driving tacomas before i realized, i loved em! Had 6 so far, three 4CYL till my o3 prerunner, now it is V6 FTW!!!!...I recall when the 01-04 came out with the new oval front end, i did not like it at all! But now, Shoot i think they may be the best looking, perfect truck for DD, home owners, small business & preppers... LOL!!! They are just the right size...
I have had the long bed too...... I had a 2010 Sold it to get this one! 03 w/ 170,000... Sold this to get the 2010, wish i never did but when i started looking for another 1st Gen, i wanted a 4 door this time....Blessed to find this one! I looked long, hard and got lied to often!

 

Very nice! Im not gonna lie, I do like me a second gen. But I do NOT see myself getting rid of my first gen to pick one up...maybe down the line I will pick one up as a 2nd truck. But this one is staying with me.

Heres the pre-runner

 

I can't answer the question, but it would be a good idea to strengthen the front mount also.

 

Yeah baby!

 

You should be able to reuse those bolts.

However, it wouldn't be a bad idea to reinforce the stock endplates anyway. The stock ones are a joke

 

Herculined some trail damage, installed some untinted tail lights, and tested out my swampers. Its coming along.

 

140 amps anyone?

 

GM conversion? Tell me more!

 

Yea. Cs144. 110amps at idle. Not bad for a 130 bucks. Just did it to Digiratus's rig. Did it t mine too. Lots of info in my build under electrical.

 

this

 

Replaced the burnt out bulb in the gauge cluster:




Oiled the Uniballs:

Reinstalled the covers with fresh sticky gasket:

 

Bah! No need to tub, 15" spacers should do the trick.

 

Looks so mean man!!!

 

might have to tub the dash, and entire cab, and engine bay as well

Oh? go on

 

thanks!

Solid upgrade. I'd love to do that to mine.

 

First one with full tube on a 98-00. Looks great!

 

Is icon the only ones that need to be oiled? I have all pro ucas and didn't know you were able to oil them
I wish mine had caps like the icons

 

Been debating on whether I should get glass or not.... I don't plan on doing long travel and am not running a wheel spacers.... What do you guys think?
