    Hey Girls/guys, My name is Dave from Warwick, RI and i just bought a new too me 03 Tacoma. this is not my first truck but my first Toyota. I do not know much about this truck but I plan to mod but start off slowly and not catch the mod bug too strong. From the first test drive i fell in love and traded in my 2004 Ranger for this gem.

    Welcome!

    You'll like the Tacoma.

    Have the frame checked by the dealer for rust/rot.

    I love the truck and yes the frame was completely replaced.

    Thank you. And yup gotta have the slider, also the rear push out windows work but the little hooks that lock them are broken. dealer wants $25 each for these...Is there a company that makes a aluminum one? I think i've seen them on a truck at work

    It was a nice (looking) ranger I replaced just about everything on it both diffs, trans, hubs like 5 times, ball joints 2x, cats, head gaskets, leafs, it got to the point where I was paying 900$ a month on gas and wanted a Tacoma. Actually that day I went out to buy a Tie but bought a truck
