What did you pay for your 1st gen?

got a used taco 1st gen prerunner crew cab with 2.7 engine. got it for $7000 with 114,000 miles on it. This is my first truck that I ever owned!

 

Thats a nice bed rack. I have never seen that before. Whats it called, where did you get it, and how much does it cost?

 

They came wit the truck when I bought it. Basically some thin walled steel tubing that have two mounting points on the top of the bed (holes need to be drilled). I haven't used it as a bed rack so much as I use it as a handle to lift myself into the bed haha. I doubt they'll hold much weight. I believe they are these rails https://www.ebay.com/i/262160540419?chn=ps&dispItem=1. I had to sand them and repaint because of some surface rust.

 

Actually, they are probably a bit shorter than the one I linked above.

 

2001 Taco - 5 speed - TRD Supercharger - 138K miles: $7,750

 

traded an 87 Toyota Xtra cab 4x4 (rattle can camo paint and blown motor) and $1500 for my 2003 ext cab. Guy that had it before me was a trapper and shade tree mechanic so had to do some minor mechanical and replaced the bed. But it runs like a sewing machine. 248000 on it when i got it.

 

I plastidipped my grill because of your post! I'm not one for the chrome look and even plastidipped my rims black matte too.

 

5 years ago I got my 1996 tacoma for $5,500. 5 speed, 4x4, 3.4l v6 and 108k miles and still running strong with 140k miles

 

Sweet! Hoping to swap my chrome bumper for a black one and painting my cap black. Will post some pics when it happens.

 

I just got this 2004 3.4L 5spd SR5 TRD 150k miles $5900. Runs and drives mint. Saving back up to make it a decent daily driving off road rig.

 

I got mine for free! My brother gave it to me 2 yrs ago, and my parents got it for him for 10k in 2004 or 05 I think. However, I have put a lot of money into it, including frame rust repairs. It's a 99 by the way and his name is Jeff lol

 

Exactly what I was planning. Any old man chrome getting blacked out asap. And the stock TRD wheels. New plate bumpers are lower on the list so plasti dip it is.

 

Tossing some new headlights would really set off that front end. Great truck

 

getting those for Christmas

 

I was just looking at that on Craigslist too this weekend...worth it and how clean?

He was 8200 firm I believe

 

Ha, yeah I have it on Craigslist right now. There was a sweet deal on a 3rd gen 4Runner that caught my attention, but it already sold. I'm leaving the ad up for another week to see if there's any interest, though haven't had a single text/call. I bought the Taco in April this year, put on almost 10k miles. Definitely worth it. All it needed was a rear u-joint and I swapped out 265 MTs for 285 ATs. Also picked up an old truck cap yesterday and swapping out the rear bumper this week. Will upload some pics this weekend.

 

2800. 272k miles, but rust free in the NE!

 

The kid I bought a truck cap from yesterday picked up his 1st gen for $3200, 110k miles. Little jelly.

 

My buddy just gave me his 04 4x4 double cab with 90,000 km in excellent shape after Toyota refused to fix the rotted chassis. Guess I'll have to fix it.

 

picked up this 03 Prerunner for 10,900 about 2 months ago @ 124,xxx miles, had a few dents but other than that it runs like a champ
