Hello all,

new member here. Just picked up a 95 taco!

 

Looks like a straight truck! Welcome

 

Thank you, its Ok. Paint is oxidized, Dings and dents here and there, but only has 152K Miles.

 

Nice. Plenty of life left to beat on it! How much you shell out for it?

 

It was given to my son from his grandma, the original owner of the car..

 

A heirloom, very nice! Manual if I may ask? Not too sure about the later gen trucks but I see them here and there across the city.

 

Good way too keep it in the family!

 

2rz motor? I have a 96 Tacoma 4wd with the 3RZ and I WISH my 22r made the power that the 3RZ did. Not that it has a lot of power, but just about anything is faster than a 36 year old 22R

 

Yes welcome aboard.

 

Automatic

 

2RZ motor, 2WD. Should be enough power for a 17 year old senior in high school..

 

Definitely enough power for that situation. I wasn't trying to imply that a 17 year old needs more power. Just saying I wish my truck had more. Hopefully he realizes how awesome that truck is! When i first got my 88 I was also 17, and at first I didn't truly love it but I was incredibly thankful for it, my dad got it for me. 13 years later I'm in love with this thing.

 

That werks too I suppose. Hope ya enjoy it!

 

New Update. Just installed some LED headlights and got windows tinted.

 

tint looks nice, what % is that?

 

That hood is a rock magnet lol

 

Those LEDs are like night and day difference. I'm guessing 5% on the tint!

 

5% all around

 

Noting spray paint & some sand paint can't fix. wait and see!

 

Nice truck, hopefully the teenager appreciates it! Tint looks good.

For sure that thing has been a rock magnet! Maybe you can find a tinted bug deflector to hide most of that without doing any paint work?

Been driving around my inlaws' 98 Taco 4wd the last two days and I remember how much I freaking love those 1st gen Tacos (especially the 3rz/5spd combo on the 4wds). About 10yrs ago my wife's grandfather gifted me his 2wd 03 Taco with only 75k on it when he couldn't drive anymore - was a fantastic little truck and we all miss having it around -- gave it to my FIL to drive and it unfortunately got totaled 2yrs ago when he went off the road in the rain - so have 17yr old be careful taking turns without any weight in the back over the axle!
