What you guys think? Notice any difference in the hot summers?

I am looking at a 02 tacoma at a small local dealer. It is a double cab, v6, auto, trd off road, with 190k miles. The dealer wants $9995 for it and I was wondering if that is a good price. I have not gotten to drive it yet, but while looking it over it appears to have the new frame under it and it doesnt have any rust or damage on the body.
So, What do you guys think? Is this a good price if it runs well?

I have changed my master,slave cylinder put in new clutch kit still won't go in gear. Any help would be great

About a month ago I noticed my truck was experiencing hard starting. Sounded like it was laboring and taking longer to start. Didnt really think anything of if until I went to start it the other day and it almost didnt start but did. After I arrived at my destination (luckily it was my house) I went to leave and the battery was dead. No big deal I thought my battery must've been slowly dying. So I pulled the battery out of my wifes car and put it in and she started right up (still a hard start). So I drove the truck the rest of that day and after 4 starts that battery was drained till it wouldnt even try to turn the motor over.

I thought my starter was bad, so I pulled it took it to 3 different places and it passed all test. Put it back on, charged my battery, cleaned the shit outta all terminals around the battery and made sure everything there was tight. So now I was thinking maybe the pos battery lead running from batt to starter was my problem. Voltage on battery post 12.9, voltage on terminal 12.9, voltage on starter 12.7. Then I hooked my volt meter to the terminals and tried to start it. When I push the key forward (not enough to engage the starter) it begins to slowly drop the voltage (almost like a stop watch counting down) then when I try to start it it significantly drops voltage until about after 3 sessions of cranking for a couple of seconds of weak cranking it drops the battery to where it wont even try. So now I'm thinking I have 2 bad batterys, so I have them tested (at two different places) and of course they both check out fine. I have made no electrical changes recently and are not running any electronics other than an aftermarket cd player. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Folks,

If i got a 2 inch or 3 inch AAL lift n the back of the truck would a 2 - 3 inch lift cause significant issues with respect to the driveshaft or anything else ?

Also by just lifting the back for the time being and not lifting the front, will it cause issues while driving ? especially at highway speeds ?

I didn't even know it was possible to get a 3 Inch lift from simply an AAL until my spring shop said they'd really Arc up that piece of steel.

I expect that while driving on bumpy roads, the rear will be fishtailing all over the place, what would be the best way to gain that extra height and still have relatively comfortable ride ? or is it just something i'd have to sacrifice for the time being ?

Thank You All

I did some searching and didn't find a specific thread for Pewter Pearl 1st gens so I thought I would get one going. Probably not many out there but would love to see some others. Here is mine. I will have new pictures with the new paint, new 7inch lights up front and some other things here soon.

I am going to do a full vacuum hose replacement in my engine bay and wanted to go with red hoses but cannot find what sizes I need nor where to get red hose either locally or by length online. Any help on measurements and sizes of hoses and places to get it locally would be awesome. I would do the measuring myself but will be out of town for another week before getting home and wanted to think ahead so I could get it done when I am back. Thanks

wondering how much more it would help my 2011 v6 prerunner for towing weight if I added a transmisson cooler I could not get one for 6 months with a tow package

I know, there is every mod imaginable documented on this site for these trucks. I'm just looking for some opinions to help me make up my mind ;). I will start out with some pics of my truck so you can see what I'm working with. All this truck has is a Dynomax muffler and a tonneau cover.

I replaced my throwout bearing now my clutch fork is not releasing... Any help will be appreciated
