1st Tacoma, have questions.

Hello all, I've been browsing here the past few days and let me say there is a wealth of information!!

I don't have pics yet but hope to soon.

2003 Regular Cab, white, 2X4, 2.4L, automatic. No extra options to speak of, just a plain truck.

I've been wanting a tacoma for well over 10 years now and I know this is just the base model, but I'm as happy as can be. What should I know about this years model (2003)? It currently has just a hair over 75K miles. Minor blemishes on the outside but overall very solid.

When I'm idling after warm, the engine seems to vibrate more than I would think is normal, but then again I'm new to the tacoma so maybe it is normal? It isn't excessive but you can visibly see the steering wheel vibrate and you can feel it throughout the vehicle.

I am looking to make modifications. I would like to beef up the engine if possible? Interested in a lift kit with bigger wheels/tires. Suspension would come next.

 

Oh yeah I bought it from a dealer for 7500. Decent price?

 

The pics arent working.

 

Okay they should be working now...hopefully.

 

They work. Nice truck and welcome to TW. If its idleing rough you could clean the throtle body with some carberator cleaner.

 

maybe a seafoam treatment could help

welcome to the forums

 

Welcome.
If you don't mind my asking though: If you wanted to lift your tacoma, then why did you buy a 2wd? You can do long travel suspension but a 4wd is much easier to lift.
