    What's up Everyone!

    Been using Tacoma World for a while now and wanted to do a quick intro + give thanks to everyone for all the valuable knowledge they have documented and shared.

    Originally owned a 05 TRD Prerunner. Bought for $14k in 2009 w/ 35k miles. Sold that for $15k in 2012 w/ 50k miles.
    Drove a beater for a while and recently picked up a 02 TRD 4x4 Xtra cab w/ 175k for $7000.

    The body and frame were in great condition, but the clutch was toast, 4x4 wasnt working, and it still had the original timing belt. With the help of Tacoma World and Timmy the Toolmans great videos, ive gotten the 1st gen almost 100% sorted out!

    Big thanks to all you guys for sharing your knowledge and experience. Looking forward to doing more work on the truck!

    Nice ride. I'm also a 2nd gen to 1st gen convert. I had many complaints about the 2nd gen but resale value wasn't one of them. The 1st gen is peak Toyota pickup truck.

    Yes sir! I may have kept it if it was 4wd, but have always loved the 1st gens. Aside from rust, they are indestructible.

    Some shots of the timing belt maintenance:
