just bought a first gen 99 Tacoma sr5 extra cab and it has new cables the previous owner put on it for the tailgate supports saying it had cables on it that he broke off loading his 4 wheeler but the cables cant be the correct part for this truck because they refuse to bend enough to tuck in and...
well I finally talked to the guy on the phone and he said the front is stock and wasn't lowered and he has all the original stuff he replaced on the truck except the grille that was cracked in a fender bender which is why he has a new OEM front bumper but just as you said, he felt the...
yep, the way I understand it,
lug centric rims don't have an evenly centered hole so its the lug holes that center the rim which means how the lug nuts fit it is critical to being a balanced wheel when mounted so if it uses the hole fitting over the hub clearance to mount the rim, the lugs...
thanks that's good to know
I think im set on finding a gen 1 Tacoma but may have to get a new one if I cant find a good deal on a used one.
so it looks like I need to be very careful to look for vibrations if I buy a gen 2 or a new one.
chevy vibrators are about 1 out of every 5 on the lot on...
ok, this is what I was reading: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/339224-arbitration-didnt-go-well.html
its a long thread to read through but as you do, at first I thought it was just the new ones 13 &14's were having a few vibration issues but then I see more people talking...
thanks, that's what I was afraid of, I suspect he did the front if he did the back but the ad didn't mention it
guess i'll have to ask a lot of questions about it when im ready to go looking at em and hope he still has any original parts he took off.
I saw some comments about aftermarket rims...
hello?????????????????????
birds and crickets chirping ................................
im not slaming tacomas here guys im just trying to learn about them.
all trucks have issues and yotas have the least of any brands out there but I do want to know all I can about them to avoid buying...
yep, that's why I was giving it a serious look, my concern is with no pics of the interior it usually means somethings not pretty or they show it
the aluminum grille I can sand down and leave it silver looking I guess if replacements are that cheap and easily breakable
does it look like its...
thanks, so the 2wd axle sits on top off the springs, that's the info I was looking for
it looked like it was just the rear he lowered and the front still looked stock height but its hard to tell
this is it: http://batonrouge.craigslist.org/cto/4679802461.html
I saw some threads on other forums about widespread vibration issue on tacomas
im in the middle of a lemon law thing with my 2014 Silverado at this moment and it has this same 45mph and 70 mph vibration I see being talked about in the tacomas which scares the hell out of me now.
I plan to buy...
all the trucks I ever had (chevys) were all axle under the leafs but now I need to learn about which tacomas have axles over the leafs and which are under the leafs because looking at some youtube suspension mods on tacomas I see some are over and some are under so which are over the springs and...
thanks, so up to 04 everything is gen 1 and after 05 things change to gen 2
so if swapping engines its better to use gen2 for replacing gen 2 or gen 1 for replacing gen 1
am I right to "assume" there is no difference in a car engine and a truck engine?
in other words if I find a front wheel...
thanks, you answered about swapping out the v6 engine back down to a more fuel saving I4 question but im not sure if I see an answer there to the question about if I have a truck with the 2.4 can I just bolt in a 2.7 and everything is the same or if not what else must be changed?
you said the...
I'm going to be buying a used Tacoma and since most that are for sale have 300,000 miles or engine problems so I wanted to know:
1 - what is involved in swapping a 2.4 for a 2.7 engine or vise-versa?
2 - if it had the 6 cylinder does it have to be replaced with the 6 cylinder or can you drop a...
well I don't think they will go out of business just because they lost a sale to me over this, I was ready to sign on the dotted line for a new 2015 regular cab sr5 but that's there loss.
its off to the used market now as I am set on getting a Tacoma, just a regular cab one and if I have to...
well I don't really see how since very little changes are made in the design weather its regular, extended, or crew cabs but I get your point.
still the money saved cant be that much at all since the cabs are going to be the only things not universal to all the models
well if its a slow seller I can understand not having it in the main line they ship to dealers but there is no shortage of enough regular cab buyers to make it still a large enough sales base to warrant still having them as an order only item for commercial or service vehicles and those others...
