New guy here... not new to forums...just to this one. picked up a 96 Tacoma this evening... a little rough around the edges, but no real rust...a gem.

 

Welcome man! I have a 96 and I love it! You will have to post pics!

 

I will...it was dark when I finally got home from way out in the country... Ill post a few tomorrow or the next day.. its red, standard cab, 2.7L 5spd. kinda of a stripper...but it has a/c...lol..it just doesnt work. I dont even know if its an r12 or r134a system. I've been into cars mostly... sold my 01 mustang GT and used some of the cashola to pick up this tacoma for my daily driver. shes got 168,000 miles, and Id like to preform all the services the truck should have at this kind of mileage.

 

come on man we need pics

 

cant post what I literally dont have.

 

Well good luck man you know if you need anything just ask! I can not wait to see the truck! And if you wanted to put a new set of stock 96 wheels on that truck with a with about 70,000 less miles! I will give you a heck of a deal

 

thanks, actually got a set of factory alloys with the truck...its sporting the grey steelies right now.

 

Nice man! Well if you hear of anybody wanting them then let me know! I really need to get rid of them! And I am willing to let all 4 go for $150

 

Welcome to TW, that 2.7L in your truck is a bullet proof motor man. I had a 98 Tacoma and put 190k on it and it was still running perfect the day I traded it in.

 

Welcome to TW! !!!!

 

Thanks, and glad to hear that. is the 2.7 a timing chain motor? I hope to put another 100k on this truck if it will do it.

 

Its a chain, the only thing I replaced on mine was the starter at about 130k ish. Other than normal maintenance oh and I still had the original back brakes on it @ 190 k.

 

cool, yeah the starter is less than 5k miles new, as is the muffler.

so..i wanna do a full service... all fluids...etc..

do ya know what types and weights of oils I need to use for the front diff, rear diff, transmission and transfer case? I assume the suggested 5w30 oil Toyota says to use for the engine is good enough, but i havent the slightest clue about the other stuff. Im totally new to this...this is my first 4wd anything.
