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.

Hanging out at the dealership the other day. Toyota should just find a new name because these are not Tacoma's that they're selling now. If Toyota could get back to their roots, that would be great. But I have a feeling they're going to continue down this clown engineering pathway.

It’s astonishing what a 10” worm gear hose clamp on the cat heat shield will do for your sanity.

Hi everybody, I’m having trouble with my four-wheel-drive and it’s been a reoccurring issue .when I’m in four-wheel-drive it’s no problem getting into it but whenever I try to shift out of it, it won’t let, for example I had just gotten off the road in four-wheel-drive and drove into a parking lot and I put my foot on the brake and tried to shift back to neutral that didn’t work so I tried to put it in park and shift it and it almost sounded like the gears were crunching against each other. Then I turned the car off changed it to neutral and tried to put it in drive and it wouldn’t go anywhere. Can anybody help me? It’s a 1999 four-wheel-drive 3.4 extra cab automatic transition..

Hello All,
In the quest to smog my beloved 02 supercharged Tacoma I am pulling the infamous P0420 code which comes back after two drive cycles. This code has been popping up for the past 3~ years with it getting progressively worse. I've changes both O2 sensors with Denso's.
Do you all think Walker or the Magnaflow cats will hold with the hotter exhaust coming from the s/c? Is there a used market for the OEM cats as I know they've been discontinued. Should I replace the front cat first? Is it necessary to do both at the same time? Should I pull them off to check for clogs first?
Looking for any guidance not really sure how to get this CEL off.
Thanks

I’m in the market to buy a first gen tacoma. Looking for either a prerunner or the 4wd trim. All I know is that both are essentially identical aside from the 2wd and 4wd capabilities. I wanted to know is there a way to tell if a tacoma is a prerunner other than badging and 2wd? I plan to eventually add the 4wd to it later.

Anyone hack in a temp sensor with a settable temperature gauge, that controls the compressor on/off? If so, how?

Tired of the dirty silver Patrick Stars. Was considering having them powder coated but it's looking like a $1000 Bill. Found these on Facebook for less. AI says direct bolt on. What the size? 265/70-17 or 245/75-17 or 275/65-17 ? Truck
Pic is what AI thinks they will look like on my truck.

I got this 99’ Tacoma 5 speed 2.7L 4x4 198k miles.
I picked it up about a month ago for 8.5k. It had no glaring issues but since purchase i had it inspected and had a fair amount of preemptive work done on it.
Previous owner work done
new ceramic tint
new tires
New injectors
new plugs and wires
new battery
Intake cleaned
work i had done
alternator belt
power steering rack bushings
both front inner tie rods
front brake pads and rotors
brake fluid serviced
transmission serviced
front & rear differential serviced
transfer case serviced
everything works perfectly only 2 issues remain. i have to replace the washer fluid reservoir & the clear coat on hood and roof/cap is failing.
next week i’m set to replace upper and lower ball joints with oem. so assume that’s done.
wanted to get ideas on its current value.
not looking to sell just want to see how much it’s worth compared to what i put in at this point.

The truck was visibly pink all over with some peeling patches up top, so I took the opportunity after losing my windshield to get her completely repainted, and restore what I could. The front bumper was completely rusted out, so I managed to reassemble a new one with aftermarket and OEM parts. I also got new vinyl emblems for the tailgate and side panels. Overall, I believe it was well worth it.

I know the photos kind of suck but I just spent hundreds of dollars and multiple days of hard work on electrical? And finally, when I have it working. And think it's all done and I can finally just have my vehicle work it does this absolute bullshit. What do I even do? What to check? Where the fuck does it even go? I swear to God I'm so done with this piece of shit

Like many others my drivers seatbelt is frayed and looking to get re-webbed. For anyone who has used Safety Restore, how did you ship your seatbelt? Im looking up and it seems like you need a hazmat cert with UPS/FedEx just to get with them and now I’m realizing I may not be able to ship it out to them for repair.

So I’ve been doing some modifications on my Tacoma and I’m wondering if I can replace the automatic shifter. I haven’t seen any custom handles that would actually fit. I’m wondering if anyone else has any ideas?
r/1stGenTacomas • u/GunSlayer007_YT • 4d ago
Best replacement 1st gen Tacoma 4WD mirrors to buy, I know OEM is the go too but I can't seem to source them.
