    I'm going to have to add that I don't like the seat belts. The driver side was replaced right before I bought my truck with a new one from Toyota. I have to mind it to prevent slamming it in the door

    Best of luck on that being possible. I personally have two 2000 4runners, and I like the way those look compared to the white gauges. Also like them more then the Tacomas made before 2000. That said I wish I knew if they were swap able haha. I would look into it myself if I had a newer model 1st gen.

    So...a few weeks ago I complained that I hate the weak door handles on these trucks because my passenger side one broke and was a pain in the ass to replace?

    Well, 2 weeks later and tonight my driver's side handle breaks. WTF TOYOTA

    I guess I should be happy that it waited to break until after I fixed the other one, or else I wouldn't be able to get in my truck. Silver linings...

    Just dumb luck that after 14 years, both decided to snap within a couple weeks of one another.

    No, it's perfect engineering. They were designed to last 14 years and not a day more! :p

    No you're in ND, you could be a king. You own a fancy import, everyone else owns an old Cutlass or grand prix
