    Thanks man! Yea I redid the grill using a 90s 4runner emblem. Didn’t think you’d be able to notice it much in that pic. I think the chrome is because they’re powered

    I'm never 100% sure where I end up to stay. I moved so many times. Every move is temporary. It's just sometimes you die before the next move :D. I wanted to say is that my Tacoma will stay with me whenever I go before I make the final move to the place 6 ft under. :cool:

    I just bought one ... like Weds. this week.
    1995, 2WD basic, manual just about everything (less to break & easier to fix hahahahaha)

    Looking back, mine’s probably the only 2w one on here!
    Also, it’s pretty stock & original (best I can tell)- cept for the frame, which looks brand new.
    The engine is in great shape just under 180,000 miles. The body has some scraps & lots of scratches. A paint job is on my
    longer-term “to do” list.
    (Dealer photos, it’s been raining since I got it)

    What tires are you running & on what size steelies?
    Mine has 14” & I have 15” in my shed, from my xB2. I’ve started exploring street tire options on both & find it very lacking.
    I’d like to keep the steelies & would rather not get 16” unless they are very light rims.
    Am I weird for liking the look of steelies?

    Steel wheels with the trim rings. I loved that look. Unfortunately this truck got hit by a 30’ box truck and is long gone.
    The stock 1989’s came with 14’s and chrome trim rings.C2856C76-E30E-441F-B05A-97EC777D54EC.jpg

    Anyone’s build earlier than 4/95?
    I’m wondering where mine compares.

    I was worried about the rust- it was raining & I only took a cursory look at the frame, not knowing it was a major issue.
    Here’s my rear underside:

    Your looks good. I guess they don't use chemicals on the road where you are driving.

    When I got recall notice about the frame coating I started to read about frame problem. However my truck lived all life in California and was clean like yours. Where I am now they use road salt like there is no tomorrow, so I'm buying Fluid Film by gallons. Saving my best truck in the world :)
