Out of a Nissan and into a Tacoma

Well it's been about 5 weeks since I knew I would be getting my Tacoma, I've been browsing this site a ton in the past weeks. It's a black 2003 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner SR5 V6 package. It was previously owned by my brother(who bought it used)

It is a little beat up, scratch directly behind the gas tank that needs to be fixed, and dented on the rear passenger side pretty good. The interior panels have cigarette burns. However, I love the truck anyways, all of that can be repaired.

I'm 17 so this is my second car, I had a 1995 Nissan Pathfinder before(nice car just was looking to upgrade a bit) Not planning on any major mods as of yet, maybe tint,hid, rear locker, and topper. But we will see how that goes.

Anyways, I know the rules-
I only have 1 picture as I just got it about an hour ago, and it was dark(this picture is from a week or so ago)

 

17 and on your second car. No bad. Pics of the Pathfinder?

 

Oddly Enough I don't have any pictures of it, it was mostly stock except it had the chrome nissan wheels,kuhmo a/t tires, and a thule rack. Nothing major, great car and never had any issues with it. Just needed something I didn't have to worry about taking on longer trips. GF goes to college 2 hours away and I'll most likely be going an hour and a half away from home.

 

Welcome to TW and congrats on moving up in the automotive world!

 

Thanks Norton, I've driven a bit today, I think I'm really going to like it! It's going to take a little getting used to, the throttle and brakes are a bit more touchy but that's a good thing.

 

I was exactly in your position last summer but I had a 91 4runner

 

good deal, enjoy the new ride!

 

Quoted on 06 OCT 2011... =] Don't worry the bug will bite and when he does your wallet will definitely feel it. Welcome!

 

welcome to the world of Taco owners dude!!

 

It's about time you came to your senses! Nice truck.

 

Detroit is overpriced crap IMO. Get a powertrax lockrite. Half the cost, twice the dependability... On the othr hand ARB is win.

 

Thanks for the replies guys, I'm loving the truck hate that I have to stop driving it when I get somewhere. I am definitely going to look into a locker for a first thing, I just have to find the funds. I am attempting to pay the truck off next summer. I will be heading off to college and don't want to have a truck payment causing me to work outrageous hours and school full time. So I think I'll pay off then mod. May try and get a locker for a Christmas present, hopefully.

And I am sure the mod bug will hit me hard, the question is how long I can resist it! Again thanks for the replies I'm pretty excited to be apart of the toyota family!

 

Clever guy. Keep it up.

 

We're excited for you too, now can I borrow $20?

 

very very nice upgrade

 

You and I have the exact same truck. My tacoma is my second truck. I got it when i was 17 too! crazy...

 

Ill let you borrow 20 pesos

Haha, yeah except mine is black trim not chrome, pretty close to the same though.
