I bought one...

After lurking here and reading all I could, I finally bought a 2007 Tacoma Access cab. TRD off road package. Pretty stoked! What kinds of things should I be weary of?

 

Congrats!

Get ready to open your wallet and spend a motif time on TW

 

FREAKING RUN AWAY FROM TACOMAWORLD.... we are a bunch of assholes and will spend your money, and will convert you into an asshole who will spend other innocent soles money as well.

Welcome to TW! You should be weary of that empty wallet you're about to have by joining up here.

Welcome to TW

 

HI WELCOME TO AWESOMENESS

 

Welcome!

 

Pics or it didn't happen

 

Congrats and welcome

 

Take these steps and you will be alright
1. take out credit card or debit card
2. cut up card or burn
3. Never come back to TW

I have about 20 build threads saved and a list of 7 grand in parts I want and its only the beginning.

Oh and welcome! Post a pic I love ACs

 

You bought one of the most reliable vehicles on the planet. You don't have to be weary of much.

 

Congrats. I've seen that a lot of members on here actually prefer the older (pre 08) 2nd gen tacomas because they do not have all the electronic traction control stuff. I got my tacoma because I want a very long term reliable truck. My goal is 300k mi. I say be weary of other idiots in parking lots etc. try to stay away from people.

 

Leery?

 

You do have a point there. Ever see Bull Durham?

 

I got my 2007 last year. I recently did the Transmission fluid, Differential Fluid, Cleaned the Mass Airflow Sensor(MAF) and changed the spark plugs which were kind of annoying...

Maybe check the frame for rust depending where you live. Ummm check the rear leaf springs for cracks. Check out the bushings, brakes, tires, belts, air filter, fluid levels, front suspension components, tie rods and the boots, see if you have a jack and tire iron, A/C, make sure the electronic differential locker works on your TRD off road, ect.
On hot days working on my truck sometimes I go under it to work on something then just lay there and look at everything lol.
The only time I took my truck to any shop/garage was to get my tires mounted and balanced and the other time was to get an oil change at the Toyota dealer. They looked up the service record and did the 5 point safety inspection as part of the oil change and told me I needed to change the diff and trans fluid, but I did those at my grandpas house lol.

I'm probably going to do the water pump on mine soon. I'm a little over 105,xxx miles on my 2007.

Congrats and welcome to Tacomaworld!

 

Welcome. Kudos on the TRD OR package

 

Thanks all. Looking forward to building it.

I recently purchased a one owner 07 2wd DCSB w/50k with a very limited service history.
Im interested in replacing plugs, rear differential (synthetic) and Trani fluid (kinda scares me without the dip stick). Did you go to synthetic in the trani? What about power steering?

Thanks
