Newcomer!

I just bought a 2001 Tacoma with 40,000 original miles. It is my second Tacoma. Everything is in GREAT shape except the seat which needs a cover. It has the 2.4 liter engine with a 5 speed. I cleaned up the engine compartment (which was dirty, but no oil issues) I put some wax on her, and she looks real nice. When I had it smogged, the technician offered me $2500.00 more than I paid for it. I declined. Thoughts, suggestions, comments, much appreciated.

(Pictures to follow)

Thanks for the welcome. It is totally stock, and I plan to keep it that way. I bought it to commute back and forth to work. 25 miles round trip. It's more fun to drive than my 2017 GMC Sierra.

This site will quickly change your mind on keeping it stock.

Just wait till you start looking through build threads. Ideas will start flowing!

Welcome to TW! Good find and good luck on the stock thing. I am guessing in 6 months you will be ready to sell that 2017 gmc to support your mod habit. hope it doesn't, but if you hang out here long enough...
