The ones I bought on ebay for 45 bucks are holding up great! I am not hard on the truck, just drive around town, but they still look new at 6 months, I think they will last a few years.

Not yet, the heated seat covers wont help much here in south florida and I just bought another Toyota complete truck for about what your seat covers cost, a 1999 Tacoma, nice truck!

After checking the valves, all were inside spec after 110K miles. The motor was clean as a whistle and had no sign of ware on timing chain or guilds either. The PO had maintained it well IMO.

I could drop a LS 350 in it with a T10 connected to a 410 posi, but I bought it for the 4 cyl that last forever, gets good mileage almost never needs work. I had the best of the best muscle cars including these two , I just wanted a tuck.

Well the year my truck was made the 4 cyl made the same HP as the six, and the 4 made more low end torque then the six, + the six had a timing belt instead of the chain the four had. And to this day I have never heard of the legionary indestructible Toyota six cyl. truck, LOL

So music. Led zeppelin, White Snake, Winger, AC/DC, Bon Jovi, John cougar. Eddie Money, and many more could be used to get them there, but once you parked it was Chris Isaak, John Sakata. and so on. Believe me the last artists are not for my listing pleasure, but if you know what I mean, then...

Wow! AC-DC on a banjo? too cool for school!!!

Scoops!

Close up of the wheel after painting / decaling

Here is the motor after I did the timing chain inspection, valve adjustment and valve cover gasket replacement, as well as replacing the radiator, all hoses, water pump. plug wires, cap and rotor and iridium plugs and PVC valve

Here is mine, put on the hood scoops, painted the junk wheels that came on it, added the TRD sticker's and gold pinstripe, buffed the twenty year old paint and so on. I get ask all the time what it is, still turns heads LOL

Put it up on a lift in park, spin each rear wheel as much as you can back and forth and look for the play / noise. Most likely at those miles a U joint is warring out.

I am putting Monroe Air shocks on a 1998 Tacoma. I would think they would be a great cost effective way to solve your needs. I am using Monroe MA727 air shock kit (see below) for 59 bucks. I think they would fit your T100, but do your own homework before buying. NONE of the ebay sites will...

I plan to do the motor the same as this pic of my T100 motor, when I disassemble for the VC gasket replacement. So I am hoping for 4 grand, with the chrome twenty's and Pirelli's, like new looking motor and great ride of the new air shocks, as well as TRD decals and pinstripes and all. That in...

Here is a shot of the inside, looks to be well taken of to me. I like it, and no offence to 1st gen Tacoma owners, but there is a big difference in build quality between this one and my T100 IMHO.
