The Perfect 1st Gen Tacoma ;)

Cause #theinternet...

 

make @Running Man travel all the way up i35 from Mexico border to Duluth and east across US-2 and up i75 to shovel your snow

 

Nope he's being a "child" so I'll make him remove my water pump next time I do my timing belt... In 60k miles from now

 

Yes indeed...

Speaking of I snagged one!

Too busy making plans for this weekend to share a whole lot and will be starting my build thread from here moving forward now that the actual work will start.

She's a 2003 Double Cab in Lunar Mist! Here is a quick picture. Getting some fuel before the 60 mile drive back home after purchase

Will link my build thread once I start it this weekend hopefully.

I just want to say thanks already for the huge wealth of information available on these forums and the amazing people that have worked to provide it.

 

Nice snag!

 

nice looking rig!
puts my old geezer to shame
does that have the powered rear sliding window?

 

Thanks!

Nope. All other windows are powered though. I likely won't be opening it much.

 

that is always one feature i always wished my xtracab would have, so i could open/close it whenever while driving and not have to stop and get out to close it if it started raining
the single reg. cab does not have this issue!

 

How fortuitous that I purchase my Tacoma on Taco Tuesday!

Especially right before a nice 3 day weekend!

I have a huge pile of stuff coming from the Amazon for this weekend. Shortlist below of the projects I purchased items for.

• Engine oil and filter change (Mobil 1 high mileage synthetic & Wix filter)
• Trans fluid flush using front return line off radiator (4 gals of ATF, Valvoline)
• Power Steering fluid flush and strainer cleaned using low pressure return line
• Brake fluid renew and bleed till clean and swap to Lucas Synthetic
• Rear Diff drain and fill with Redline Synthetic gear oil
• Seafoam Treatment (all 3) (started oil and fuel at purchase) (Yes I know...)
• Replace all vacuum lines with new silicone kit (already found several that are cracked)
• Coolant System Flush including new thermostat & gasket (yep on correct orientation )
• Replace upper and lower rad hoses from Toyota w/ correct constant tension clamps
• Replace all rubber heater hoses
• Had weird aftermarket rad cap so replacing with OEM
• Replace plug wires w/ OEM Toyota
• Replace 6 spark plugs with plat dual tip iridiums NGK
• Replace 3x rubber coil boots
• Grease zerks on driveline
• Replace Fuel filter
• Deck Plate Mod
• Clean and repaint skid plates w/ bedliner

 

Mileage?

 

75k is my guess

 

I wish mine had 75k

 

that may or may not be good or bad

 

The guessing is actually kinda fun... maybe let that go for a while

 

182K with me

 

I’m gonna guess your truck has 200K+ or close to 200K

 

i wish it had that many!

the old geezers mileage from about a month ago, very high percentage of highway miles, i have another old beater for in-town stop and go wear
all but 20 put on by me and the probably 100 or so people that have driven it a very short distance

 

Well it has both of those numbers beat

 

Your truck has more than 200k!! It is eligible for a senior citizen discount.

 

That’s wild dude
