Lifespan review of my 2014 Tacoma

Hello,

As my title states, I decided it was time to start a log that will span the life of my Tacoma. Ill try to keep it interesting because the stuff Ive put my truck through in its short time in my possession is more than most Tacomas will ever experience. Ill include pictures of major events or close calls and keep a log on broken parts. So far, 34,000 miles in a year and a half and I have yet to break anything. Almost had it fall off a cliff into a river because the bank collapsed but I was lucky.

Specs on the truck:

2014 Tacoma
Double cab
Off-road package
Spruce Mica
6-speed transmission
Tow package

Specs on me:

25 years old
Live in northern New York
Never home because I fish and snowboard depending on the season
7 years in the Air Force (radio technician 3D173)
Other car 04 Subaru WRX STI

So far I enjoy owning this truck. Its my first truck and it fits my lifestyle perfectly. Feel free to chat here or critique me

 

Cool stuff, look forward to seeing the log.

Old car, new truck... Bitter sweet day. I've always wanted a WRX and i had one but it didn't fit my lifestyle. i guess theres always next time

Plastidipped my wheels. I've never had a vehicle without black wheels on it and i wasn't about to start now

 

Tag. Looking forward to the logs.

Mine is a 2014. Already have 26,xxx mile in less then a year.

 

Had to move a couple pelican cases filled with radio equipment for work. It was easy

 

First rescue job. I was out fishing at 11pm at night in my kayak and received a phone call from my brother... "hey can you come get me, I'm stuck"

2008 lifted rubicon unlimited but the tacoma got in, got the jeep, and got out. i wasn't happy but it was fun

 

first big snow. i wish we had more but the joys of upstate new york

 

Driving around in the spring of 2014 looking for places to fish

 

Up at my buddies house before we welded on the new dynamax muffler

 

Thanks for sharing your adventures. I was 26 when I bought my 2014, leaving behind a 2003 WRX! Due to my work/life situation I'm just a hair under 6,000 miles. I wanted a spruce mica in an access cab OR, but there weren't any very close so I got white. I love my white but your spruce mica with the dipped wheels with white lettering out is an awesome look.

 

Herkimer NY, I was raised in Schuyler,NY. Beautiful area. Lots to do year round. I left the area over thirty years ago, Look forward to your log and the pictures of central NY.

 

Nice man! I'm in Saratoga, I was just out that way a few days ago.
Truck looks good!

 

Cool photos.

 

I was the same with my S4, always wanted one, had it and didn't fit my lifestyle as much as the Taco. Still a great car that can make a lot of power but it won't get you to many fishing spots. Spruce is a great color, it's too bad they stopped offering it on the '15s as it was def high on my list.

 

S4?!

put a down payment on one many years ago and changed my mind and went with the new 2nd Gen at the time! 05'
same deal, couldn't haul my toys and didn't make sense for me.

 

Nice taco! I don't see spruce micas very often.

 

^ Yep, good stuff. Love my '14.
