I picked up this 2002 Tacoma over the weekend. Here are the specs;

3.4L 5VZE
113,XXX miles
E-Locker
4x4
Extended Cab
5 Speed
TRD Package
K&N Cold Air Intake
Borla Exhaust

The plans are simple for right now as it is going to be my DD.

Here's some pics!

 

Truck is currently at the dealership getting a new timing belt & water pump as well as new serpentine belts. They checked the frame for rust and found it to be in good shape

 

Subbed
I have always liked these body style of trucks.

 

Do the gauges have white backround from factory or is it aftermarket?

 

Nice, I just got a 98 4runner Limited with the diff lock and 5vze for daily driver duties as soon as the wife gets herself a car. The 3.4 really is a ton more power after driving around a 22re, I took mine out last week and other than the running boards (which wont worry you) with the rear locker, it does awesome off road.

 

NICE!!! A newish Taco to go with an SAS! I envy you man!

You gonna keep the 91 PU also, or is that getting moved on?

 

Sweet, the first subscriber!

That is factory i do believe.

Awesome! I can't wait to take mine offroad!

Woohoo! lol

The 91 is already moved on, sold her the other week.

I will be "stuck" with my 4Runner and this Tacoma for a long while. Although I don't think i'll mind

I work A LOT (14hrs a day) to afford my vehicles/girlfiend/mods so you can't envy me too much lol

btw i went to ship the cluster today, it's too big to fit in the large flat rate USPS box...ugh. I will grab a box from work and get it out to you tomorrow!

 

I've worked a schedule like that before; not for long, but I've been there. I didn't like it. You gotta indulge a bit to stay human on a job like that. Enjoy the new rig! Any mods in store?

No problem about cluster. Again, don't be shy about asking for more $$$ if what I sent won't cover shipping.

 

Excited to see where this goes.

 

Yeah it's nuts, I get off one job and have to head right to the other. I really don't mind though, the money is good.

Thanks for the wishes, i'm sure i'll enjoy her! I'll have to get a future mod list up.

Don't worry about more money for shipping. I'll get it out today.

Stay tuned!

 

Here are the plans thus far,

-Tune-Up (oil, plugs, wires, air filter)
-Locking Hubs
-Trail Gear Rear Bumper
-Headers
-Black Wheels (maybe just paint mine)
-(in future) Supercharger
-Sliders

 

Far cry from the early 70's toy you were looking at.
I think you are really gonna like this trick.

 

I had one of those swim I took it a lot of places with just BFG alt tires and the factory locker. When I sold it I got enough to buy my wife's 97 runner and my 86 haha. Have fun.

 

Awesome! Too bad ya sold it, but you got 2 out of it so that's great!

Yeah I figured this was the best route to go and I got it for an AWESOME deal!!

Even though I haven't driven it that much yet, I LOVE it! I bet I'll love it more once it's supercharged!!

 

put some sliders on it. You can use them a step/running boards and they will (hopefully) not get bent or damaged on the trail.

 

i'll say you keep this one for about 12-18 months before you sell it

and mods that'll get done: tune-up and black wheels. maybe the bumper if you order the right model
























have fun with it, man! i wanna see a side-by-side with it and the short bus.
(does that make this truck the fire engine?)

 

Haha you're such a jerk lol.
This one I plan on keeping for a long while.
I'll get a side-by-side pic just for you!

 

oh, and if you want any lights wired up, lemme know

 

Will do!

 

Once I get the Taco back from the stealership, I will be doing the Tundra brake upgrade.
