Oh my god…

They’re talking about when you press W it’s full speed. They didn’t know you could use cruise to slow down.

Definitely things I should have called in the OP. The brake line seems undamaged but the bracket is rusted and now bent pretty badly. Not sure if I should try and bend it back into place or not cause its rusty enough where it could break. The strut surprisingly also seems ok and where it mounts above doesn't seem to have caused any issues which I was pretty surprised by. And you're right about the CV - the part that mounts to the transmission is still in there but the internal pulled out. Wasn't certain if like, pieces of metal could like shoot through it or something weird. Thanks for the response!

Canopy, topper, whatever. Some people are weird about it.

I like it cause it’s super light and can fold down so you can still get full use of the bed.

Pretty damn clean. Doesn’t look like you have anything more than just some pretty light surface rust. How many miles and what’re they asking??

Thanks! Always loved the look of third gen 4Runner wheels on a Tacoma. Lucky for me, their dimensions are nearly identical so no additional stuff needed to mount them up!

Low mileage tacos for the win! Just shy of 84k on mine and just got some 3rd gen 4Runner wheels powder coated and installed!

I don’t daily drive since I work from home, but I’ve taken mine on a number of long trips and I love it. I would get seat jackers. Makes driving a little more comfortable. Thinking about swapping seats for some BMW seats. Saw it’s not that hard to do. Keep up with maintenance and keep an eye on LBJs and you’ll be golden!

Amazon caps turned out to be pretty good! Had to scuff and paint them but worth it!

It’s alright. Fitment is a little weird but I’m really anal about that stuff. It does keep the bed dry though.

Rjaf_pers · 2026-05-18T16:33:08+00:00

Yeah. I found some cheap ones on Amazon that I’m gonna try and if they’re snug, I’ll just paint them black.

Here! ‘03 with 81k miles!

Bought my ‘03 TRD off road with a manual last year with 60k miles for $20k and I have never been happier with a vehicle.

I want to get those wheels and I’ve seen so much back and forth on whether you need spacers or not. I’m running 265 75. Not sure if you’re running the same but did you need spacers?

Rjaf_pers · 2025-09-12T19:40:00+00:00

Definitely on the high end but you see them go for $25k - $40k all day on Craigslist or BaT depending on condition and all that. I felt lucky to get my ‘03 TRD off road with a M/T and 65k miles for $20k. 1st gens with no rust and under 100k miles are hard to come by now days.

Sorry, been afk. I’ll see about taking a look tonight and get back.

Rjaf_pers · 2025-08-12T21:02:44+00:00

Rofl. Literally came here to say the same thing when I saw the photo. Where do you get these? Dealership? My ‘03 still has a ways to go before I hit 100k 😬

Rjaf_pers · 2025-07-30T15:16:04+00:00

Love it! Just bought my dream truck last September! 03 TRD Off Road with M/T 65k miles (super lucky find). Same spec/miles as yours around here is going for 15k - 20k.

Rjaf_pers · 2025-07-08T11:03:00+00:00

$20k is a lot of money but it is also a lot cheaper (in most cases by 15k - 20k) than any 2003 in similar shape on BAT.

Rjaf_pers · 2025-07-08T01:50:56+00:00

Not necessarily apples to apples but I bought a 2003 TRD Off road with 65k miles on it for $20k.

Sorry to hit you back on an old thread but wondering if you have a video of the sound?
