Presentation: My new 2003 Taco!

Hola taco crazies!

This is Pablo (Natharus).
I just bought my first car!!! Better late than never! Its is a 2003 Toyota Tacoma, double cab, SR5, TDR, towing package, all power devices, and a nice LEER camper with a Thule rack. It has 150,000 miles. Drives and feels great.

I am really excited to share information and passion with all of you! I have been reading the forum during the last two weeks (since I knew I was going to buy the car) and there is sooooo much amazing knowledge here!



I have a huge amount of mods planned, I just need to save some money hehe. Inmediante mods:
-I will be replacing the camper T-handles
-gas lifts and install a led light and a switch in the camper
-Fixing the rear light on the camper,
-Steering wheel cover (Does somebody know a good one that is DIY? They bring you the needle and the thread to do it yourself), the steering wheel feels too thin for me.
-Paint wheels black.
-Touch up paint (Best method for small chips, the size of a penny maximum? I think to get the matching paint and the clear coat, sand the dings and apply both with a small brush. What you guys think??).
-Paint all emblems (but the front one) in matte black. They are a little wore out the ones in the back.


In the future:
-led bars one on roof, two under the head lights lights (with their switches on the console)
-Roof rack
-3" lift!!!!
-Replace headlights
-Guard grille

ETc....


Thanks so much!

 

Congrats on the truck! I have an '03 myself and I love it. There's a lot of good information on here and a lot of knowledgeable duuuudes that can help you with 99% of the stuff you come across.

 

Excellent presentation. Congrats!

 

Welcome!

 

Beautiful!!!!!

 

Thank you guys for the welcoming messages!

Lots of mods coming!

Here is a little photoshop I have done with the possible paint/cosmetic modifications (mainly paint and satoshi grill) ANY SUGGESTIONS???:



Thanks!

 

Welcome.Nice truck. I always liked the look those camper tops gave the Tacomas.

 

Hello! I just joined myself, today. Your locale looks a lot like my N. Nevada stomping grounds. (PS: Naw, no sagebrush, just grass. Montana.)

I joined because my '03 Xtra Cab 4x4 2.7L suddenly has a leaking steering rack, and I'm told needs replacement. Researching here and elsewhere.
