    Hello everyone! Just picked up this 98 TRD v6 5 speed with 130k miles last week. Paint isn't perfect but it's a rust free southwest truck! My plans are to do some baseline maintenance and light cosmetic repair. Interior is perfect. Timing belt and water pump was done at 80k miles.

    Thanks! The 80 is a 95. It's triple locked with ome stock springs. Nice to use out in the desert when I got family and or dogs with me. Took a trip up to the mountains Thursday to play in the snow.

    Welcome!
    Your truck is very similar to mine when I go it. Looks great.
    There is a Vegas thread too https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/vegas-bs-thread.90006/
    I am also in Vegas, I have a little more wrench work to do on my green machine. Sparkpulgs, wires and CV axle today.
    If you need a hand or ready to go wheeling let me know.

    Thanks! I've been in the garage today as well. Changed the fuel filter, bled the brakes and replaced the front and rear shocks. I'll have to check out the Vegas page. What part of town are you in?

    I have not checked codes but I'm pretty sure its misfire. Sometimes when I sit idle for a while it does not run right, when it get hot out it does not run right, all relating to the resistance of the injector coils. Everything I have read points to injectors or computer. Im going to order all the parts from toyota and injectors from motorwestperformance.com do it next weekend and the valve cover gaskets while I'm at it.
