New 1st gen owner 2003 2wd

Hello!!

I have been creeping the forums a bit lately as I was looking to purchase a Tacoma.

Just purchased a 2003 Access cab in silver its 2wd manual transmission with the 2.4L.

In need of a bit of work still as it came with the check engine light on.

Im excited to drive it as its my first truck.


So far I have:
changed spark plugs (put them to the stock NGK that the owners manual states)
fresh oil change
new coolant
air filter


The front e-brake cable was broken so I removed that but the replacement I had purchased from my part store had the wrong fitment end so I may need to order from the dealer.

Need to diagnose check engine, pulled a few codes and have read a bit around here. I believe it needs an 02 sensor but I am not sure which one or both? Any help here is appreciated.

I am not sure I like the front grill of the truck so much and was wondering if there is anything different anyone has tried here? In terms of either painting to match body or if one from a 4x4 or another model fits on mine and might look a little nicer.
