2002 TRD Quad Cab

Hello 1st Gen lovers. I have been following this forum for a few weeks and finally decided to join.
I bought my 2002 Lunar Mist Tacoma TRD in 2004 from original owner with 6,000 miles on it. Paid $21,000.
This truck is my love and having a new frame done last August I hope to have my baby forever.

What I would like feedback on is the "Factory installed" roof rack on my truck. I rarely see another. My local dealer told me that it was only a 2002 factor option and I may have the only one in the North East Region. Anyone else have one?

BTW, I paid $21,000 in March 04 and best I can tell I can still get around $14,000 if I ever lose my mind and sell it. Losing $7,000 over 13 years is unheard of on most vehicles. Gotta love these Tacoma's.

 

Also, my stock wheels are in great shape but I found a set of 4 NOS wheels in the box with center caps & lugs nuts on Craigslist for $175 for the 4. You know I couldn't pass them up I'll put them on when I need new tires.

 

Very nice truck. And welcome to TW. Let the spending begin.

 

Not sure on just how 'rare' as in if you are the only 1 in your region - doubtful but they are but the roof racks are rare.

Since you have a leer cap, can you do me a favor and take a picture of the weather stripping along the t-channel of the hatch? I'm having a tough time tracking down the actual seal and my shell was missing the seal when I picked it up from Craigslist. Thanks! Your truck looks great. Keep up the routine maintenance and it will last for many years to come.

 

Gotcha, I put 120,000 miles on it in the 13 years I've owned it. No problems what so ever. Timing belt, water pump, regular fluid changes have always been my priority.
I'll get you the cap seal picture this weekend.

 

thanks... oh yes, almost forgot, if you EVER want to sell the roof rack.... lol

 

That truck IS very sharp and I'm not big on grays. Hell it's almost as good-looking as mine! It looks like there's a lift? It sets a little higher than mine. That roofrack makes all the difference in the look of the truck. Nicely done!

 

Welcome

 

Very nice truck, welcome.

 

very clean truck

 

My stock roof rack is becoming an issue. Gasket/Seals are rotting away and they don't make replacement parts. Looks cool though.

 

Area 51 runner here's the pics of the Leer gasket. Let me know if you need more.

 

Thanks for uploading those pics. Actually, I'm looking for the seal for the frame t channel. Take a look at this one.

I picked this seal off ebay but its too small for the channel.

 

How's this?

 

Nice tuck...I like the roof rack too!!

 

thanks for the pic yep, definitely a bit larger width seal.
