    I just picked up my first gen Access Cab TRD in April of this year. With only 53,000 miles, I couldn't pass it up.

    Before: IMG_0834.jpg IMG_0835.jpg


    After: fullsizeoutput_316.jpg IMG_0989.jpg IMG_0991.jpg

    What a difference!

    The downside of a nearly twenty year old low mileage vehicle going from a seldom driven to daily driver is the need to address immediate maintenance issues. Brakes, exhaust manifolds, tune up, and fluid changes right off the bat.

    I look forward to discovering ways to make the truck truly mine and on the road for years to come.

    Thanks, all. My previous job required an extensive commute which was not truck fuel consumption friendly. New gig now with a ten minute commute so 10 mpg doesn't matter. I am currently awaiting dealer and manufacturer verdict on frame replacement, so fingers crossed.

    My favorite feature is the exhaust rumble. My usual work cars never came equipped with that.

    Welcome to the forum from PA. Beautiful truck. I live about 100 miles north of Pittsburgh, so you must be fairly close to me.

    Nice!

    I replaced the cracked & leaking exhaust manifolds on my 2002 with JBA shorties back in 2003, they added a little rumble to the exhaust note and a little more get up and go to the the engine. I have put over 140k on them, and they are working as advertised today.

    Welcome from Western Massachusetts. Nice truck.

    A guy at work just got the frame replaced in his Tacoma. Hope that works out for you too.
