    Hey everyone, name is Kevin and located in the Philly area. Just joined here but have owned my '03 Tacoma for almost 9 years. Prior to that I had a '97 that Toyota bought back under the frame rust recall.

    Anyways here's a few pics, mostly stock less a few bolt-ons:

    - 3RZ/5spd/4WD/SR5 with ~55k miles
    - Vision wheels / BFG ATs
    - LCE catback exhaust

    Yup, only had 22k on it when I got it back in 2010. I take the train to work so that’s kept the mileage down and I’m also pretty meticulous with my vehicles.

    That’s fantastic.

    I also lost a 1st gen to the frame buyback. My 99 was recalled in March of 2010 and that’s how I ended up on here. :oops:

    The frame rust issue is really unfortunate. My 97 was in excellent shape as well. Toyota gave me $12k for it! I heard they crushed/destroyed all the trucks they bought back, what a shame.

    Very true.
    I got just shy of 12K for mine as well.
    Really miss that truck... :(
