Barn Find 1st Gen Toyota Tacoma Prerunner! | BUILT TO DESTROY

[@hondaforever338]

That truck is awesome whoever built it was definitely a skilled welder, although the hood pin mounts whoever welded those was definitely blind.

[@LK-qj3tr]

That was a "let's get her done and get on the trail" weld job 😉

[@ianhawley5791]

Now thats a beautiful truck .... I want it lol

[@suedeshoez]

Evans voice is going crazy 😂😂

[@blackhatstudios2441]

I talked a lot that day lol

[@perrymahnke886]

Awesome truck & great find! Thank you very much for sharing.

[@jakewashburn4426]

I have a 99 Tacoma pre-runner 2.7 L single with a 2.5 inch leveling kit and 33 inch falcon wild peak’s ATW3’s . When I got the truck, it had a low 200 and something thousand but not right at the 200,000 Mark on it and now it only has almost 277,000 miles. When I first got it, the owner told my mother who went and picked it up for me. All it needs is alignment wrong and needed ball joints bad. I also just went ahead and started upgrading the expansion parts with all new struts in the front and shocks in the rear and replacing almost everything to make this a nice roadworthy daily driver . I also ripped the plastic bedliner out and did a spray on bedliner and a front brush guard that has a 8 inch light bar on it with rock lights in the fender wells. It’s a nice little daily driver I like it and it does get used for dragging a drag through the field because I do own farm animals that I have to drag the field every so often. The little thing is a beast and I love it. About to also put bigger mirrors on it because the pre-runner mirrors in my opinion are tiny so I’m going with the SR5 four-door style, mirrors, and glass black but I have to get one painted because they sent me two mixed matched mirrors but the company was great and refunded all my money and told me to keep the mirrors.

[@jordan7275]

Don’t rhinoline. Do paint protection film. It’ll hold up and it’s clear.

[@flavrdPnut]

Incredible find! Right here in Cali, that’s crazy!

[@mengtastic8337]

1 word, WOW!! That’s an awesome truck build and an even better find

[@frmtheden]

[@Wajjajagg]

I have a 5in over LT tacoma kit came off of tommys truck & super inspired by this guys build i was planning on selling it but slowly changing my mind

[@Max-ik9qb]

Sick sick sick Taco!!!!! that took a ton of hours, sweat and dedication by whomever built it he knew he'd never get it back.

[@TTMotorsports]

Seeing this truck really really makes me miss my double cab Tacoma. And I thought my tacoma only having 110K miles was low

[@kawashkdh2011]

Lmao. Me thinking my 01 tundra with 300k has low miles.

[@AG-rk5hj]

@@kawashkdh2011that is low miles 😂 you’re good for another 700k

[@trailerpatch9789]

Honestly, hands down. So much better than Evan’s last built to destroy. Props is where props due. Keep it up bud...

[@scottlance2404]

The guy who originally built that truck is from Apache Junction Arizona. He is now one owner A.D.D. in Mesa Az!! Jared Hare hit him up for the info!!

[@sgtliles30]

I was chatting with him yesterday.. He's got the 04. I have the 02 tacoma 4 door.

[@petermakeithappen8336]

This is the the most well built Tacoma I've ever seen

[@rosyboiztv4952]

[@burns1industries761]

Nice truck Vern! I saw you at hell track ripping and had no idea!!! 😂 super cool my brother!

[@paulcmad]

How much did he pay for this? Such a find!!

[@justinm.791]

I had a dark green first gen Taco, it was such a nice truck to drive. I had it for 8 months and it broke every month that I owned it.. The trucks were so new they didn't have much in spare parts for warranty work so I ended up selling it.

[@kennethg374]

Ok, stupid question time ? 🤔 Was the transmission upgraded ? Didn’t catch if it was a 4x4? That is one hell of a Taco ! 🤘

[@LK-qj3tr]

No cv axles in the front, was definitely a wider race kit so 2wd. Idk about the tranny though! Cool shifter he's got.

[@Yeawell]

Bougee isn’t the correct term for this. Timeless legendary gem

That's is actually the second version Tacoma made from 2002 on the earlier Tacoma had different front clip bed doors interior and engine. On the 4 cylinder.

[@demented763]

He's correct... I had a 2000 Tacoma and it had a different grille and headlamps...

[@TheJrw397]

I remember seeing this truck on Craigslist a while ago. Looks way better with the methods on it than the stock wheels it had a the time. I should have bought it back when I had the chance.

[@blackhatstudios2441]

Ya me too lol

[@jjbronco123]

That's a real truck not the rollin coal b.s

[@BigDOOMson]

We will never have to swap to electric. It can't be supported by our coal plants. There hasn't been advancement compared to nuclear. I have friends in Edison who say the grid won't support it, coal grids. Electric vehicles are limited as to how much they can charge depending on the time of day they are charging at, limited power available on the grid and that's as we step into this stupid idea. We have frequent blackouts across our grids due to air conditioning power demand and that's 84% of the population. Imagine relying on coal burning power plants that are already insufficient for comforts and necessities like air conditioning / heating... Now, stupid ass electric cars?... Cold winters, hot summers, and shortage of money for everyone!!!!*! But you can turn in your vouchers for bread at the Health Department.
