Let's see your first gen - photo thread

Thanks man! No joke, I have been dreaming and working towards this house for about 10 years. Feels good.

 

First Trip in my new to me 01 AC 4x4 SR5. The soft topper was a good choice for keeping everything dry. Rained both days. We got up to ~5300 ft of elevation in the national forests of Western Washington state.

 

Went to the mountains today and sat in the river.

 

This is my 06 Double Cab, 2WD, nothing special. Had some work done after I bought it, timing chain, suspension, and a couple of other small issues. . Runs and drives like it is brand new. Goes in for a full paint job 13 Sept 21, I just can't bring myself to get rid of it.

 

Sadly, I looked at the neighborhood and was like, "yep, Florida"

Wasn't sure if FL or DFW area at first, had to live near NAS Jax and NAS Dallas before heading off to Miramar. Things look strangely similar between the former two.

Why the full paint? Looks pretty damn awesome to me, like $500 polishing job would have it looking brand new again.

 

Paint looks good until you get close, hood is flaking and the topissun drained. Since this truck is in awesome shape and I can't seem to let it go, I am getting in as best shape as I can. NAS Pensacola, salute!

 

bought it new dec. 1999. 21,000 miles. trd wheels, trd dual outlet exhaust, toytech adjustable struts, bilstein shocks. never in salt, garaged it whole life

 

That is an awesome truck!

 

@wick only 21,000 miles? That's incredible. It looks new. I bet you could sell it for a lot but I wouldn't do it! Is it 4x4?

 

yea its 4 by 4. thought about selling it from time to time, but new crewcab trucks cost more than my house when i bought it

 

Yep, that why we decided to keep an already great truck, throw a few dollars at it, and drive it till the wheels fall off, salute! You have great ride, you can be mighty proud!

 

One of the finest I've ever seen, stunning!

One lucky 16 yr kid got his first truck. He liked it so much he asked his dad if they can take it home that day. I sold it to them the next day. One lucky kid.


I have a soft heart for the first Gen Tundras. Never gave me any problems other than 2 battery changes, 2 sets of brakes, and rear seal replaced.
My two kids were growing and needed a bigger truck. So now this is the family truck....

 

Funny I 100% was thinking DFW.

 

Really nice first gen you had there. You wanna know what's crazy? If you still had it and sold it practically any time this year you would have gotten more than you paid for it!

 

Cars/trucks are suppose to depreciate. It's insane with these prices now and days. Who knows, I could've gotten $20k for it. LOL.

That right there is a thing of beauty.

 

Only been in my driveway for a week. She may not be the belle of the ball, but I can't stop looking at her.

 

I dunno, that is one of my favorite colors for these trucks. I like the neutral tones a lot.

You know, I suspect you can pull that dent behind the driver wheel pretty easy. You're going to think I'm kidding but I'm not, google for dildo dent removal or dildo dent repair and watch the videos. You don't need to use a dildo for it, but you get the idea. Friends and I have used that trick with other suction devices to pop wide dents like that out, the metal snaps right back into its memory of the place it wants to be as long as there's not too many ripples. Yours is an ideal candidate.

 

“Hey, new guy, welcome to the forums! Go buy a dildo!”

 

Looks like Thunder Grey Mettalic 1C7. I'm partial to it myself...

 

Are you still converting your 2wd to 4wd or did you already finish?

 

That'll get the neighbors talkin'....

Its a strange color...because it changes. I haven't decided if it's grey...or beige.

 

Been complete since March. Check out the build thread for info.

Nice. Any plans to go to Hidden Falls or Jamboree etc? I heard Llano has an off-road park now. I want to check it out. I been seeing tons of new off road parks/ranches opening in TX on FB lately.

 

I know that the Tacoma guys got something together a year or so back but I think we may be one of very few central/west TX first gens. I try to avoid TacomaWorld at all costs but if you wanna message me some dates/details, I’ll see what my calendar looks like. I love getting down to that part of Texas. Actually just got back from a trip and have two more on the schedule for this fall.

 

Will do. I plan to try to go again in fall and camp a few nights

 

Picked up my first Toyota two weeks ago and I'm loving it so far! 2001 Tundra with 150,000 miles on the TRD supercharged 4.7 V8
