r/1stGenTacomas

The top 2 best upgrades I've done to my tacoma was turbo,n it and the dodge tow mirrors. Huge upgrades!

Got this 1st gen Tacoma from an uncle just been hard trying to save money for an engine it has a rod knock but i can’t wait to get it on the streets 🥲

75$ didn’t even fill it all the way.

Didn’t realize I had a bit of a unicorn🦄when I purchased it and realized a lot of people don’t like the stepside but it’s definitely grown on me.

Looking at this 2003 TRD off road. How bad do y’all think this rust is? Would you walk away?

Im in ne texas fwiw

Went with the OME Nitrocharger plus in all four corners, whole medium duty dakar pack with the add a leaf. Medium duty springs up front. Only had it like this for a day. Got it aligned right after, everything else is stock and it seems to be just fine but it rides absolutely amazing so far. I think I ended up with damn near 4.5 inches in the back and about 2.5-3” in the front. Have not actually stopped to measure yet but it’s a lot higher than it was. I got the 2.5” lift but my previous suspension was absolutely cooked and a snapped leaf on the drives side

Finally pulled the trigger on the fox shocks and I have to say i am very impressed. The ride quality has improved tremendously over whatever shock was on the truck. (I'm sure they were tired)

In only a couple days ive noticed a way more plush ride, the 32s dont feel as heavy in the steering and theres quite a bit less body roll when turning. But the thing I was most impressed with was the ability to soak up bumps. Just wanted to give an update to my old post incase anyone was still wondering about them.

Not too bad for a 3.4 l four-wheel drive double cab with 367,000 plus miles. Currently needs an oil change and an air filter. The two low numbers were when my kid took his overlanding trailer camping
