    New owner not new truck!

    1998 Tacoma 2.7 4x4 5-speed
    249,XXX miles

    20190831_154333.jpg 20190831_154343.jpg 20190928_141929.jpg 20200201_172340.jpg

    I bought the truck a few months ago and have just been enjoying it.

    Modlist so far:
    New Tires - 31x10.50r15 General Grabbers
    LED interior lighting
    Bug Shield (not sure if keeping on or not)

    Still to fix:
    Parking Brakes are rusted solid I have to take the drums apart and clean them out (Luckily it's flat where I live)
    Seatbelt on driver's side is frayed and gets stuck in the retractor

    Want to do:
    Foglights of some kind - I like the KC style lights or the switchback LEDs in the turn signal housings
    Paint the grille and surround - I'll wait till the weather warms up, I was thinking matte black grille and gloss white surround
    Get vinyl cut tailgate letters from @CBoy808
    Possibly a small lift - 1.5 inches or so to give just a little more of the proportion I want
    And Many other expensive and time consuming mods that I've seen here posted by members.


    Thank you for coming to my Tacoma talk.
