Eew, your truck is touching the dirt! Who does that?

TRD Pro grill really enhances the front end relative to the stock chrome cheese grater grill.

Best $70 mod thus far.

New to me 3rd Gen, 109K mi SR5 Sport 5VZ-FE 2WD. Needs basically nothing except preventative maintenance on LBJs and radiator. Maybe some rear tailgate struts when I get bored.


Had one of these 1999-2002. Love being back in the saddle!

Have had my little Tacoma for a few years now, its been a great truck as expected. This is my camping setup for the moment, works pretty well and truck hauls all my shit with no complaints, aside from having to get on the brakes a bit earlier. My only complaint with this setup is loading and unloading the camper, I might move on to some sort of DIY cargo trailer/toy hauler next, for the time being, it works great.

If you aren't on Tacoma World I suggest getting over there asap.

TW is pretty rad. It's super active and I've run into quite a few R3V guys over there lol

Thanks man, yeah I've browsed a lot on Tacoma World but haven't yet made an account.

Had a moments regret the night I bought it (e30s have been my daily driver for the past 15 years) but you know eventually that vision you have of your 18 y/o self cruising around blasting late 90's trance in an '80s BMW all the time just has to be let go.. plus this will save the E30 from a lot of rain/dirt/mud/use so I can keep it in good condition.

The truck is super relaxing to drive. I've been into "exciting cars" for so long it's a nice change.. the gearing is great and the transmission is really a joy to use coming from a 30 year old getrag 260.

Ordered a bed mat and the factory cargo net last night as well as some 303 fabric guard (per TW) to try to keep the front seats in good shape. Still on the fence about all seat covers vs just a pet-mat in the rear and no front covers.

Nice man, sounds like you're on the right track.

I just ordered a faux TRD Pro grille. Excited to spice up the front end when it arrives.

NICE!!!!

If you aren't on Tacoma World I suggest getting over there asap. So many cool little odds and ends are made for the third gen Tacoma that help you personalize it a bit.

Ended up getting that truck. It definitely has enough power to get going if you floor it and shift at higher rpms in 1st gear.

Back from the dealer



Drove up to a spot



Ended up raining a bit earlier and getting muddy messed around with 4-hi and the a-trac system getting out of this spot.



Bout to cross 100 miles!

[lambo]

plz send us snow. thx bai.

Yeah... y'all need it... :-(

also little update. got myself some unicorn 18" 4G Limited wheels. trying to figure out now if i should go with 265/60r18 or 265/65r18 KO2's or A/T3's...


decisions decisions.

hotboi status... KO2's are cool... but I say Wildpeak A/T3W's tbh I had them on my truck before the Coopers and they were pretty rad.

But for my 100% honest opinion... go to 16's and 285/75's

[freeride53]

plz send us snow. thx bai.

As far as power goes, I have no complaints. My truck is definitely broken in, and I am surprised at how it moves.

I have an auto, but it has the 'S' mode. Put it in first at a stop and wind it up and the truck boogies. You definitely need to rev it on up there to get the good stuff though.

If you want one of these things to move, but you never take it above 3,300 rpms, then it ain't going to happen.
