    Smart to find an older model. Newer ones, well. You were smart to find an online order one.

    Nobody told me that Toyota pickups would become an addiction.

    I guess it's not a thing to wave at other Tundra drivers on the road as we pass by...I've been getting a lot of puzzled looks. o_O

    No kidding to the addiction comment. Here I am trying to sell mine, but stopped to check out an old Tacoma at a used car lot on my lunch break. No, it's not a Tundra thing to :wave: at each other....... We're more like this :duel:

    Welcome by a fellow 2002, and fellow V6. :wave:
    You'll want to change the timing belt at least (due to age at this point. Not mileage.) and the water pump if you want. You'll already be right there. Won't hurt to throw a new one on for peace of mind. Thermostat too...

    Do you know if it has an oil cooler? There are two different water pumps depending on oil cooler or not.

    Aisin parts from rockauto or summit are the usual go-to's for parts as they make parts for Toyota, just not with the Toyota name. I would not order parts from Amazon due to fake, knock-off parts. Too much risk associated with it.

    It might depend where you live. Where I live, you get a lot of waves, and I've actually gotten a date request or two. It HAS to be the truck; it ain't me. LOL!
