My New (to me) Taco

well said x2. Make it yours now. I like that truck-well taken care of and nice interior. I hope you're lovin it

 

Yes, sales tax sux!!! But I wasn't about to be penny-wise & pound-foolish. You just don't see too many gen1 Tacos out there with this low of miles. And the fact that it was configured exactly like what I was planning to order a 2012 in (ie, white, 4x4, access cab, 2.7, 5spd) sealed the deal 100%. I knew the second I saw it when I pulled up that I wanted it. Then when I test drove it (alone, he just gave me the keys and said "go"... I drove it some 20 miles... was gone for about 30 minutes) I knew I was going to buy it. Just a matter of settling on a price. I tried to get it for $15,000 out the door and we settled on $15,500. Like I said, I am very happy. Besides I really do like the gen1 "compact truck" platform better than the mid-side of the gen2s. Not that I don't like the gen2s too... but I have just always had a thing for small trucks. Have owned several in my day... plan on keeping this one for a very, very long time!!!!!!!!!

 

Cool score!

 

Ha!!!

Mods won't be too extensive as it'll mostly be on daily driving and light off-road/camping duty.

Plans are:

• 5100s
• taillight guards to match the grill guard
• paint the stock wheels black
• add tow hitch

Nothing crazy. No superchargers, no 6" lifts w/ 35s, no million watt stereos.... I try to keep things simple. So that's about it (unless there is some "must do" gen1 mod that I should know about).

 

Nice Truck! I have always wanted a white ext cab like that one.

 

I guess nobody told you?

All 1st gen owners on TacomaWorld are required to modify their rigs to match the one pictured below within 6 months of ownership...better get to buildin'...
