2016 wheels on the 04.

Now that my son owns the 04, we decided to install the 2016 Offroad wheels from my 3rd gen to give it a little style all his own. We think it looks pretty good!

Might be a mod for those looking to update their 1st gen as these wheels are starting to hit the used market as 3rd gen owners upgrade like I did.

 

Here it is with the old Ivan Stewart wheels.

 

Looks good!

 

Just did this... Off a 2015 4Runner, He had them Chromed...

 

265/70/17s

 

Looks good.

 

Looks good!

 

Your 04 sits level.. Lift?? spacers? shackles???..
Just got mine a few weeks ago...

 

Mine has Bilstein 5100s all around, front bumped up to 1.85, stock height in the rear.

 

OP, I like it!

 

Thank you!!!!
Going Daystar tomorrow.. 1" Spacer for approx 2" of lift, then of course i will have to do shackles to level out the rear...
LOL! Love these 1st Gens! This is my 4th 2003!!!! Holy Heck!!!!!!
>G
Side note, I never had any pin-stripping on them.. This one does and so does your son's....Is it a Mystic Gold Metallic thing??
Mine falls down towards the front while yours stays straight.. I like the look!!! I also installed 1" 1/4 Spidertrax spacers on 4 corners, brings the tires out some.. Any pinstripes on the tailgate?? None on mine.
Looks like you are a Tacoma Family!

 

I've driven Toyota trucks for 30 yrs continously now and the 04 is the first and only one with pin striping, no pin striping on the tailgate. The 2016 is my 5th toyota truck.

Owned the 04 since new and wanted to keep it in the family since it's been so reliable. My son needed reliable transportation as he gets ready for school so I sold it to him for an extremely good price. Only mods to the truck ate the bilsteins, sliders, toolbox, tires and wheels and upgraded stereo that plays MP3S instead of CDs. Truck only has 150k on it so there's plenty of miles left for him to enjoy.

 

These trucks are going for Big $$$$$$$$! Unreal $$$$$ They want up to 12K/13? for them with 100,000 miles!

 

Yep, that's why we kept it

 

In Cali, have seen them at 19K with 80,miles!

Cra-Cra!! 239,000 miles

Glad to see they fit 01-04's. They look good!

 

Got my '04 with 25k miles for $19k, plus taxes & fees from a Toyota dealer. Steep for a 12 year old truck but not bad compared to what most first gens sell for privately. Plus it was a super rare find with the low mileage.

 

That is an Unheard of Rarest of Finds!!! 25,000 Miles!
You did Great!!!!!!!It is steep but you can not find them with that low low low miles!!!!!! Folks do not understand how they can be so $$$$$$
For me I like everything about this truck... The power 3.4 V6, The lines & the size is the perfect combination for me.. I have had a 2nd Gen & most recently a FJ Cruiser.. The best fit for me is the 1st Gen Tacoma PreRunner, Had 3 of them!.. Toyota still makes this size truck, (Hilux).. They sell them in every part of the world but here!!!! I would love to have a New Hilux! Saw one with Baja California plates at the airport a few weeks ago.. White 4door..It was NICE, Clean, simple lines and The perfect size.. Wish they would bring back this size!!!!
Congrats on the FIND!!!!!
This one only has 79K miles! I thought that was Rare! $10K is what i paid from private seller.. I feel very very fortunate to have her.

 

Thanks!! 79k is still very low for a first gen, before I found mine I was ready to settle for anything around 100k because that was the lowest I could find. Most were up in the 200k + range, which is a good sign that these will last forever.

 

Yup! The one in my sig pic, bought 2012
160,000 miles, trade her in on the FJ but realized not only do i need a truck but I need/want a 1st Gen tacoma!
You will enjoy her for many many years & just knowing you found her with 25K miles has to make you freaking Happy!!
