Thought there was water in my bed. No! In my door. Do these just get stuck #2025 OR

My brother 'gave' me this truck a year and a half ago in bad condition. He was homeless living in it. I replaced seat and carpet. New bumpers, headlights, taillights. Fixed the brakes and the water leak and have done some cosmetic repairs. This is a rare truck that I was selling but have now changed my mind and decided to keep it. I was looking to sell this and get a mid 80's Toyota truck (my fave body styles) but they're not available. This truck is a single cab, 4x4 5 speed which they did not produce many of so it's staying in the family. It runs fantastic with only 140,000 miles.

My first truck let alone my first Tacoma and I’m looking to join the community! I’m open to any and all tips/advice like maintenance, upgrades, etc. from past/current/future Tacoma owners but more importantly I’m looking for suggestions on clubs/communities on Reddit/IRL I could join in the Houston and Texas area to meet up with fellow Tacoma owners for car meets, off road meetups like for the beach, rock crawling, fishing, etc. Just a lil bit about the truck below:

P.S. I was so excited that I took my wife, dad, and kids to the beach and off roaded on the sand that same night I bought it on Saturday(I made sure to get an under carriage wash right after)

The reason why I’m asking is I tried to put an older model up top rack that was on a 3rd gen on my 4th gen Tacoma and it didn’t fit. Website says it fits Tacomas but I want to know id it’ll fit my 2026. I’ve reached out through email text social media and haven’t got a response so I’m turning to you guys.

Bought a 2013 silver single cab 4x4 last year, I’d like to give it a bit of an old school vibe. What color decal does Toyota use on the tailgate of their older silver trucks? Which do you think looks best. Pic included on a black truck to give an idea of what I’m looking for.

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 🥲

What’s up guys, just picked this up this week. I am psyched. (Dog pic included)

Just installed the 4Runner TRD Pro headlights on my 2026 Tacoma TRD Off-Road.

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
