    Love my Taco. I have 320,000 miles on this '97 Tacoma SR5 with no major problems. Wheel bearings replaced (3), clutch once, new fuel injectors recently, some sensors, and of course the usual timing belt/water pump change when required. This is like the Energizer Bunny, it just goes and goes and goes...She's a keeper. I bought it in 2005 with 131K+ miles on it. I'm on the third radiator because my auto repair shop sold me a cheap one when I changed out the original. I told them no more cheap parts! It's always worth it to pay for quality. She has taken me on 4WD only US Forest Service roads when I worked seasonally in fire detection. I have installed a Rhino spray on bed liner, a ProTops shell, and a Lee Anderson style carpet kit. This month I'll be adding Airlift Springs to the rear suspension for those times when the rear sags under load and for future towing a small camping trailer. She takes me on road/camping trips all over California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and Oregon.

    Welcome! I’m another recent member, having just bought a 2011 Taco. How do you like the Protops shell? I’ve been looking at their model 100 since I think I want the extra height...
