My 2003 Tacoma - V6 3.4L 4x4 - black double cab

Hey everyone,

New here and stoked to show off my Tacoma

2003 Tacoma - V6 3.4L 4x4.

Purchased June 2020 @ only 77k miles!!! A year in now a few miles shy of 90k! I’ve driven it a ton and it runs / rides like a dream! I had to drive from NY to MD to find a black first gen double cab in good shape. I found her and i hope to have her forever. Currently at stock height but aiming to lift 2-3 inches by end of summer.

Work / Mods so far:

- New Shocks / Struts when purchased
- Front Rotors and Pads
- replaced all belts but timing
- Stealth Custom Series rims f5’s +0.0
- Firestone Destination MT 2’s - 265/75R/16 (I do get a little rub at full lock)
- Pioneer DMH-2600NEX stereo face

Top priorities:
- nomad retrofits, any recommendations for other first gen custom headlights?
- 2-3 inch lift
- body work: nice dent in passenger side that drives me nuts, as well as clear cost peel on roof
- steel reer bumper
- thule roof rack - selling one? Dm me


Currently at 89,700 miles - when do I have to worry about the timing belt snapping on me? Need to get it done but a $600 Job is mod money

would love to hear any thoughts, mod ideas, recommendations, etc.

Thanks for looking everyone!!

 

Welcome to TW!!

Just follow the rule/mileage when doing the belt, it's a needed "mod"!

 

Welcome to TW!

 

I've always said that preventative care is the cheapest form of care. (Be it healthcare or car maintenance). Spend a little extra here for the added reassurance that it won't snap or else you'll be regretting your decision of putting off $600. Just my two cents. It's a beautiful truck and welcome to TW!

 

Welcome to TacomaWorld

 

@doublespeak nice looking truck. To piggy back on posted comments, get things fixed/replaced when you've taken it apart, so that you don't end up dealing with a chain reaction of other things that stop working right.

 

Welcome to TW!

 

@boogie3478 good lookin' truck buddy. Dark colors can be high maintenance, but it's a labor of love for me.

 

Thanks man! Ha ha yeah I loved the black but the trail scratches were an eyesore.

 

Looks great! and such low mileage, wow

 

I wouldn't be overly concerned about your timing belt yet. I would be comfortable riding it out until 100k. My brothers truck just had it done at 112k

 

@AJKlug1 Like that color. Great looking truck. That the normal height or did you get a lift kit installed?

 

Thanks! I love it too! Right now it is at completely stock height.

 

hey there welcome to tw!
