What do you not like about your Tacoma?

Dude! I had a 72 2 door! almost bought a rolling chassis 72 2 door 6 months ago for The same price as my running and driving 72 i had in 97/98! Ahhh memories. damn fun car. Ive also.had two 280's, a 240' a mid seventies 620, a 4x4 720, AND a 69 roadster 2000 w/dual mikuni 44s! Fun, fun, fun.

 

Ok, here we go with the compare list.
60 Datsun Bluebird, 71 510, 78 510, 84 P/U, 77 280z, 07 350z roadster, 12 Titan.
Bought a 03 SpecV for my son, an 05 Frontier 4x4 Supercharged for my daughter.
Was really disappointed with the Titan, it was between th 07 & 14 Tacomas.
Old school Nissan/ Datsun rocked, not so much anymore IMHO.
I rebuilt my 71 510 in auto class, added headers, mild cam, 2x side draft Webers.
Did nothing for looks, used it like a dune buggy.
I keep an eye out to find one.
Cheers, man.

 

Pics!!! Damn impressive sir. Specially the bluebird. But i feel that i must correct you... THEY STILL ROCK!

 

Biggest complaint after getting the frame replaced is the way that water directly pours into the cab if the truck is wet and I hit the breaks. Like after a car wash or after it stops raining.

 

Clock is hidden behind steering wheel.

 

The leafs (I replaced them), frames rusting (still need to repaint mine), and I would have to say I am not a huge fan of 60/40 seats but they arent horrible

 

I took a plastic cutting board...cut it to shape, punched two holes through it with a holesaw, secured it over the original cup holders. fixed...no more spilled coffee. Made one for my buddy's 1st gen Taco too.

 

Too damn sexy and too many haters

 

effing leaf springs

 

I have the sport bucket seats and they are really short
The steering bounce and shake when hit any small bump in the road

 

That steering bounce and shake is an easy fix.

 

Realistic complaints:
-For the 2012 refresh why didn't Toyota upgrade the 4.0 V6 to dual vvt-i like the FJ and 4Runner. More power while getting 1 more mpg would have been nice.
-There's no electronic or even mechanical lock on the tailgate
-No lock on the glove box
-The driver side window is only auto down, but no auto up
-You can get leather trim only on the "Limited"
-They took away the home link rear view mirror in '14 I believe (who takes content away!)
-For the manual I don't like the brake release (prefer the '16 style)
-Rear drum brakes? It's 2015

Pie in the sky complaints:
-I want a double cab - td4 4x4 paired with a manual

 

It's easy to add you know, the wiring for it should already be there. You just have to buy the controller and lever thingy that mounts to the wheel.

 

the passenger side seat of the 60/40, how it crushes coffee cups!!!

 

This is the 1st gen section buddy..

 

I wish I had more power & I don't like the speed limiter...
