    Hey guys I am new to owning a Tacoma and just wanted to show you my truck and what I have done so far even though its very minimal.


    Bought the truck with 152K on it. I tinted the windows, got different headlights from eBay. black grille, and bumper ends. 2" Spacers in the front and I am running 31x1050x15 Goodyear Duratracs. Love to know what you guys think.

    Just hooked-up w/this forum and am impressed! Gonna keep my Taco (01 4X4) pretty much factory but will work toward dependability in case I have to "head for the hills".

    Very nice truck, take care of her and you'll have years of fun. I wouldn't start modding the hell out of it yet, just simple cheaper mods. Your main focus should be to "get to know" this truck and start figuring out what parts may need replacement in the short to medium term. With that many miles make sure the timing belt has been replaced and start observing ball joints, bushings, and steering parts. I'd also change out all fluids if you haven't already. If you wheel it often I'd think about getting a portable air compressor to air down/up for comfort and traction and a good tow strap.

    Thanks for the post. Funny you'd ask about the headlights but I''ll find out today what they are. Just bought the '01 Taco 4X4 Sat. These lights are a little on the blue side, look aftermarket, and only have low beams! I''ll get back on that.
