Post your 1st gen REGULAR CAB tacoma

nice truck. is it a 3rz manual or auto?

 

Thanks dude!!!

 

What wheels you got on there? I like them a lot, beautiful truck man.

 

Here's my trusty steed!

 

98 2.7 4X4

 

My 2002 Base Model, 5lug, 5spd, no tach, running on 16s, basic black steelies

 

Figure I may as well share a pic of mine . There are a couple small mods since I took these pictures . I put better mud flaps on and added Running Boards. I’m not a fan of Running Boards , but I get tired of the gravel roads destroying the paint on the rockers , lower door and leading edge of lower bed . It’s a 2001 with 2” Bilstein lift. I used the big 6112 from shock and it worked out perfect with the bumper and wench extra weight.

 

It’s been a long 4 years. But from where I started to as is sits. Also my 5-lug that I daily.

 

01 reg cab

 

Killer Combo!

 

Thanks dude!

 

I gotta say, when I purchased my Tacoma new in 2001, a regular cab was never an option as it just didn’t look good to me.

Today, the look has grown on me, and if I have an opportunity to purchase a clean regular cab 4x4, I would absolutely do it, even if I overpaid a little.
There is a clean silver regular cab 4x4 stepside in my neighborhood and I always slow down when I pass so I can hopefully catch the owner outside to start a conversation, and hopefully purchase it.

 

Current incarnation, relocated the winch control box under the hood. Rear locker acquired need to get it regeared.

 

No tacoma is better than first gen regular cab. We have the nasty ones

 

FYI if you are looking for a tailgate pad that fits the first gen, the Dakine pad is the only one I have had luck with.

 

Hey everyone,

Grandpa gave me his truck now that he's too old to drive. Had rod knock so I had the long block rebuilt. He had it painted with a single stage paint about 5 years ago, one day I will paint it back to the factory Paradise Blue.

It's been a great year getting to wrench on this thing and show my grandfather what his truck can do.
