1995.5 Tacomas only - how many are still out there

Well I guess there's exception to the rule cuz I bought mine brand new and I only have 15 gallons grr

 

Frankly I don't remember ever putting more than 16gal either but I never drove it to dry. How can you tell the size?

 

Here was my first truck. My old 95.5 bought it in 2012, sold it in 2017, had over 212k on it and I still see it around town!
For some reason the passenger door always looked a shade darker than the rest of the truck, maybe from the previous owner.

 

Definitely a shade darker in that picture

 

another with no side stripes

 

would be xtra nice to have some interior pics on this one, still for sale after a week since I posted

 

I actually removed mine from the truck before I sold it a few years ago. Still have them in my shop, I almost forgot about them.

 

My 2.7L 6 lug 2004 4x4 has a 15 gallon tank too I believe.

 

My dads first tacoma was a 95, Didn't have stripes, but his 99 did

 

a 99 did very strange I was always thinking it stopped after 97, what was on the 99 tailgate?

 

@TacoNick06

I have those RBoards on one of mine. First time I posted pics somebody said those are dealer installed and very rare. Mine are off right now, but still in good condition. Not sure if I will put them back on or not. Styling,....meh.

 

It was a pinstripe

 

Toyota is very confusing when it comes to certain add ons like decals and other little things. An example is, the other day I saw a truck like TacoNick06's, but it had no dome light...None... just a blank. The weird thing was it had options like cruise control and tilt steering wheel. Just lacked the dome light

 

My first car/truck, its not perfect but couldn’t be happier

 

My first tacoma! 1995.5 extra cab 2.7 4x4 standard. First pic is when i got it in october and one of it now.


Now to add after getting up to date with this thread, truck came with FM/AM radio only, no tilt, no cruise, no clock, no tach, bench seat. So i guess i have the most bare bone base base model??? Ahaha love this thing although i changed my head unit.

 

...not sure if my recent finding today qualifies for your tally

while on break I visited another local body shop to get yet another evaluation/estimate of my frame (service would include scraping (no sandblasting), por-15 treatment, Krown treat the panels and inner frame) all for the low cost estimate of a bit over $1500.

As I was waiting this older gentlemen drove up for some front bumper repair on his 95.5 2wd 4cyl manual. We got to chatting and he said he had it since new in '95 and has put it to good use hauling bits and whatnot and had approximately 185k miles. It is unlikely he has a digital footprint because I was telling him why I was there and all of the frame problems over the past 2 decades. He had no idea that trucks would actually split in half on the hoist and had never heard of such a thing as the frame rot issue.

 

just checking out your very fine looking truck again
I just noticed that you also have blank slots in your center console between the shifters and your ?sunglasses? I have these blanks as well and have always wondered what they are purposed for?
I assumed it was for a sunroof and recall you had a sunroof but went to check for it inside your cabin and yours are also blank
not sure if you have a powered sunroof or if that was an option or not

 

my nephew is looking for a 1st truck
might have to check this local one out for him

https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/inven...ned&sortDirection=undefined#listing=235094971

single cab 4wd 4cyl for $4995
146k miles

 

Good luck, but first check that frame really good. I think I already see some rust on the truck and am I right that Omaha is in "rusty state"?

 

yes it is, you shoulda seen the nasty stuff they put down on the streets here last month after the blizzard to destroy an inch of ice
