    So my girlfriend wants a 1st gen Tacoma!

    So far she wants a
    - 2001-2004
    - v6
    - Extra Cab
    - White, Black or Red
    - E-Locker
    - Around 150,000 miles
    - Grey interior

    She has about $8,000 to spend.

    Her plan is a solid mid travel daily driver and weekend desert fun.

    If anyone knows of someone around Los Angeles, CA who is selling a truck similar to this description please DM me. She's ready to buy one asap.

    Damn Justin! Gorgeous girlfriend and clearly intelligent as well. Tacoma, she knows what she wants and the options too. Wow.

    Good on ya my man! She is a keeper and so is her "soon to be" 1st Gen which is the best Gen!

    Wait for a black 04 TRD to pop up. I did and you'll thank me later. Best color out there but perhaps I am biased. ;)

    upload_2017-1-7_10-12-56.jpg

    Good luck and post pics of her new rig!

    Always a huge fan of black Tacomas and yours looks great. Way to ruin it with the chrome grill though..

    Damn, never posting up my truck again. I'm getting a complex now, lol.

    Wheels are SCS Gunmetal F5s. Tires are 265/75/16

    Ill think about the bling, but the ladies love it.

    lol She can't afford a 2nd gen. Her exact words was "The 1st gens are so cute. It will be like a mini you."

    She likes your Tacoma too! She's actually going to try and look at a black one today after she gets off work!


    It's like I made her in a lab. She just got her motorcycle license too! :bikewheelie2:
    I ride a CRF450X and she rides my old KLX250SF I bored out to a 351.

    I hear you man! My first two cars were black. They looked awesome clean and waxed, but I couldn't keep up with it... Then my dad had a 2013 double cab, sport that was white and I fell in love with white Tacomas lol.

    JDawg, maybe you should buy a copy of whatever she ends up buying. Cut your spare parts in half when you go off road together.
    The only way I get my wife off road is by packing a box of chardonnay.
