@@pegasus5763 if it's 2wd, I'd pass personally. I don't see much reason for getting a 2wd truck unless you're hauling stuff, and even the 4x4 3.4l is a little underpowered. I couldn't imagine hauling stuff with the 2wd. There is however a market for 2wd trucks, and for that I would suggest going onto Toyotanation.com or yotatech.com and asking in the t100 threads because I do not know much about it (forums will become your new best friend). First, make sure title is clean If it's 4wd, check to make sure everything seems to be working alright, no fluids leaking, sounds good, minimal rust (especially on frame/drivetrain) etc. My specific truck had been sitting in a field for about a year before I bought it, so there was a fair amount of rust, but the frame itself was in decent shape. I do a lot of snow driving and a little off-roading so I had to replace some of the 4wd components on mine and I replaced about all of the steering components. I still need to replace all the brakes and brake lines. Biggest thing to know is that whatever you buy it for, you will need to invest a lot more time and money into repair and maintenance, so hopefully you have budgeted accordingly. If you don't do your own work on the truck, just assume with parts and labor at a shop, you may easily double cost in less than 5 years. A set of decent 4x4 wheels were about $1000 including mounting and balancing at a shop. It will feel like every time you fix something, a new problem shows up, which can be frustrating, but also incredibly rewarding when you get to drive it. These trucks are nearly 30 years old, and as they age, every component gets closer to failure. That's just part of owning classic trucks though, and you need to be honest with yourself about whether you can handle the time and money it will require to own the truck. Insurance will also undervalue the truck, so if something happens and there is damage, insurance may try to total it over the most insignificant damage and will not properly compensate you for what you have into the truck or what the truck is worth. Again, just part of owning a near-classic truck. If you have any friends or family members that are into cars, see if they'd be willing to work on things with you as they arise (I was lucky, my brother-in-law was a former Toyota mechanic who still works on cars a lot so I can message him whenever I have questions). To reiterate what I stated earlier, forums will become your best friend and have saved me many times. I would also look into finding a copy of the repair manual immediately if you do get the truck. This may be a lot of information to throw at you, but I think it's also my responsibility if I give advice to be honest about what you're likely to face. Last thing I want is for you to get the truck and then be unprepared when something breaks and then you're out 5,000 with a truck that doesn't work. I love my truck and it has been through a lot with me and helped me out in numerous situations, but there's been a lot of struggles to get there and there will be a lot more to come. It has taught me a lot about myself and how I deal with things and ways I can improve, and you have to have an open mind going into it.

This will be my first car, as i’m only 16 and getting my license soon. $5k is up there on my budget but I’ll still have some left over yet, not enough for a bunch of repairs. The truck i’m looking at is 4wd and has a decent amount of rust, and has been fluid coated but i’m sure it has some problems. AC doesn’t work, bed is dented. The truck is in pretty rough shape. I’m just thinking I might pass on this truck because of things like excessive maintenance like you said, as it’s a 25 year old truck. As of right now, I just don’t have the funds to keep feeding into a truck like this. I love them, and I love the look, but when I’m older i’ll get one hopefully.

It has five opening windows so you can really get the air moving through. I also got an $18 ROAV bluetooth device off Amazon for the cigarette lighter so I can use a smartphone to make calls and play music. I don't need to mess with the handle to close the tailgate. There must be something broken with the latch or it needs adjustment. The tailgate doesn't directly lock, but if you have a topper you can lock that.

The cranking on that 5vz sounds awesome! 291k miles and never get tired of it on mine although cranking at a higher pitch, wish you keep it on that scene for a little longer. Manual windows and locks will always be a lot more simple than auto. For the passenger side door lock make sure to spray some wd40 in it to lubricate it. Same goes for the tailgate, spray some wd40 and it'll be much better, not new but you won't have to close it with the handle. For A/C yes it's ice cold but with California heat especially in the 90 and higher temps it won't keep up. I feel like mine's isn't blowing strong enough, but I could be wrong. For headlights, I'd replace the whole housing just because they're either yellow or really faded out. I was thinking of switching them from Hyalogen to LED, but decided not to. For the mirrors, yes it'll be a 2 person job for the passenger side. The locking gas cap on mine sadly doesn't work so I've got a locking gas cap like on your tundra. Overall nice video!

My dad gifted me his 98 regular cab 4x4 Tacoma when he got a brand new one. It’s in mint condition with 217k miles. Before I owned it it probably never went over the speed limit. It never hauled and is rust free. I love how simple it is. It even has manual front locking hubs. I work in the RV industry and notice when I drive it to work it gets a lot of attention. I had an offer for 8k but rather keep it. I barely drive it but wash it weekly. It pains me parking it outside. It’s cool that your not afraid to daily yours, I’ve tried but it’s just not practical for the kind of driving I do and idling while I get on my laptop going from lot to lot.

That’s awesome you kept your dads regular cab tacoma, i really like the 98’s.. i almost bought one brand new, went and test drove it in 98, it was just too expensive at the time.. then i bought a 2004 brand new and drove it for years.. it was a 4 cylinder, i loved that truck! i totally agree, it’s hard to daily drive em, but my commute is super short or else i’d probably pass.. the trucks look better than they perform, but there just so darn reliable! it sucks we have to park them outside, i cannot tell you how bad i want a garage.. anyways, i hope you keep it a long time, it’s super nice to have a truck around every now and then.. plus, clean ones are super hard to come by, if you sell, you’ll probably never be able to replace it!! 👍🏼

my little 01 tacoma will be 20 this year. the old toyota trucks are wonderful. I also have a 2005 tundra, that when i got it, was manual everything (except the trans) just like this t100. I did add power everything from a junkyard tundra though.. but man. basic trucks are such a nice change of pace compared to modern trucks

As a Toyota Tech for 21 years, the T100 is the Most reliable truck ever made. A little low on power with the 5VZ but so incredibly over built, it won't have any issues. Oh here is a little Tip- to slow the Valve Covers from leaking, have them replaced at the Dealer Then once a year, remove the 2 piece upper intake and snug the bolts down a little, they back off over time and cause a leak...m

It’s hard to keep on top of everything but you definitely have got to get back to your T100 when you have a chance.. what does it need??
@ricepadi294 жыл бұрын
Just started having a fuel injector start leaking but shouldn’t be too difficult to fix. Other than a good interior cleaning it just needs some drive time. I rebuilt the engine about 10 years ago then had a gremlin sideline the project until now. Just got it running again this past spring. The exhaust is decent but wouldn’t mind upgrading. AC needs a little work too. Found a hole in one of the lines.
