^^^^anyone agree?

 

I am in agreement. My one bitch that I fixed. The original seats on my d-cab were very uncomfortable. I replaced them with a set Recaros. I had reopolstered the seats to match the stock interior.

 

where did you get the recaros? part number? did you have to fab the seat brackets, or did they fit perfect
thanks

 

I bought the Recaros from a friend. Bought the brackets from the Recaro website.

 

I knew someone who was a mechanic and their shop hauled and fixed trannys. The had a 05 and used for hauling transmissions for about a year plus and the bed of the the 05 tacoma had some support issues and problems
. The beds of the 05 and up tacos are not as well built as the older gen trucks. Many of my friends who off-road with their trucks also say the 05 and newer tacos are too big. Personally for me after owning a 1st gen taco sequioa ,4 runner and now an 03 double cab taco. i really enjoy my double cab taco.
Also it gives me a smile and to know I have a well built when I see this thread check it out if you have not

Weren't some of the 01-04's built in Japan? Go for one of those....

That's why I bought a 4Runner.....

I believe all 05's and up are made in the US.

 

I would get a 01-04 just because it has the 3.4 motor.

Also, the current gen tacos are built with cheap materials, and it really shows. Have a few tacos in the family (of both gens) and the 01-04 is wayyyy better IMO.
