    Post pics and details of your 1st gen truck that you bought new and are still driving. I intend to drive my 2013 into the ground but hopefully not for another 20 years.

    It's not new, it's not Mexico
    I bought a new 1999 Tacoma extended cab 4 X 2 SR-5 in November of 1998. It was totaled in May of 2010 or I would still be driving it today.

    Front Bumper i couldn't tell ya, I bought it from a TTORA member in Escondido several years ago who bought it from someone else. I've made slight modifications to it since I first got it though.

    Rear Bumper i bought from TW member Micah(Taco Me Elmo) who had originally had purchased it from TW vendor Beefed Taco. He's got a website and he's outta So Cal. I'd do some vendor research on him before committing though.

    It's not too bad. I'm still just driving around with the one seat. Ended up selling my stock buckets. Found a 60/40 for real cheap and am having a friend repad and upholstry them. Gonna give that a shot than decide if I wanna keep the 60/40 or buy the matching passenger seat.
