98-00 Tacomas Only

Picked up this 2000 Prerunner couple of weeks ago for 4K. Took it to a 40 year Toyota tech I know in Kentucky to check it out. He said it is a solid truck. Had him replace the timing belt and VC gaskets and all the stuff that goes with that service. has 194K on it now. it was a work horse.

 

Fuel door swap. 2000 5spd 3rz 4WD. I like to think it is classy.

 

are you going to color match the wheel center caps?

 

I hadn't thought of that. I was going to paint the wheels anyways. Great idea!

 

i am painting my salvaged roughed up center caps black on charcoal powdercoated oem wheels, so thought I would throw it out for consideration

 

Do you have a pic handy?

 

of the center caps or wheels?

 

Both

 

i have not started on the caps yet, just got the right grit sandpaper yesterday
but here are the wheels, or one of them
your wheels are 15s as well?
i forget if I know what year they were changed to 16s

 

I am looking for some 98-00 TRD fender flares, if anyone has any they want to get rid of.

 

Here’s my 2000

 

completely stock with new BFG ATs...and its staying that way!

 

I said that exact thing 1.5 years ago

Here it is in the shop as I add mods before the weekend.

 

my close relative had very similar truck, just a 98 5sp 4cyl reg cab same color as yours
it failed the hammer in 2o11 after having it just 7 years but was also having major engine troubles at a relatively low mileage and a bad clutch already onit was just replaced before the bad frame word started blowing up across the country

 

wow, that's nice @Fuergrissa...Maybe if I had trails/scenery like that here in south jersey my stock rig would be a little more built up...

 

I’m in the city too just west coast.There are a few OHV’s About an hour drive but the decent trails are 3 hours plus and that’s just to get to the trailhead.

Get out there! These trucks are capable stock

 

This is my '00 3.4 tacoma. It's a great truck. I was worried about the wheelbase length when I started building it, but the extra length is not a major problem on the trails I wheel in California.

Just learned of the 105A alternator retrofit, so can't wait to do that.

She’s marking her spot.
