    Fellas,

    I've been on this site for quite a while now and I've finally found the one, her name is Aspen. She has spent all her live in Florida and has recently moved to Colorado. She has 134k miles and sports six cylinder 3.4 liter engine. I'm based out of Boulder county, Colorado and would love to meet fellow Tacoma owners. Here is a picture of her after the first car wash.

    Planned maintenance (134k):
    • Valve cover gaskets [DONE]
    • Spark plugs [DONE]
    • New spark plug wires [DONE]
    • Transmission and engine oil change [DONE]
    • Air filter [DONE]
    • Air filter box [DONE]
    • Grease complete drive shaft [DONE]
    • Clean air sensor [DONE]
    • Lower ball join replacement (right side) [DONE]
    • Tie rod replacement (right side)
    • Rear differential fluid replacement [DONE]

    Cosmetic mods:
    • Color match fender flares
    • Front custom bumper with winch and fog lights
    • Topper



    Any preventative maintenance suggestions are much appreciated!

    Nice looking truck. I'd suggest checking to see if the timing belt has been replaced. With the mileage, it's been done recently or needs to be changed. The 3.4 is a great motor, the one in my 4Runner has almost 280k on it and runs strong. It doesn't even burn a drop of oil between changes.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for the suggestion. I checked the timing belt cover and it was done at 91K miles. I heard the Special forces used these trucks in the Afghanistan and Iraq war!

    I got a black 2016 taco that is asking me to introduce him to Aspen. He is into camping, star-gazing, and Asian women. Is she single? Just ask'n for him.
