Pics of my new '03

OK, here are photos of my new '03. It has 40,200 miles. I just installed the Nomad Convoy wheels and Vredestein AT tires. Other than the wheels is completely stock. Only concern I have is some rust on the undercarrage, but I had it inspected and it seems OK. The frame was replaced at some point probably under recall /warranty.

 

Congrats! An oldie but goodie. Looks real clean. All ready for some epic adventures.

 

40k miles is crazy! Congrats, great truck.

 

That’s a steal finding one with low mileage like that. My brother and I were just talking and he said if he could find a low mileage 1st gen he’d get rid of his 3rd gen. Congrats man!

 

Those wheels look great. What are the details on the wheels (size and offset)? I’ve been looking at them but can’t figure out what offset to go with. Thanks

 

Hi, The wheels are 15", same size as the original wheels. I don't know what the offset is - I don't think I was given an option on that. I bought them from Tire Rack.
The wheels do stick out about an inch or so beyond the originals, giving the truck a slightly wider stance. I think it looks good and there is no rubbing or problems.
The only issue I've had are the lug nuts that came with the wheel did not work. You need a lug nut that is both long and narrow, as it needs to extend inward to grab the studs, and need to be narrw so that you scrape the paint finish on wheels when you put the lug wrench on. Let me know of you need the spec on the lug nuts that I bought that work.

 

Nice truck and a great find. Huge fan of 1st gen Tacomas.

 

Nice find, and really low miles!

Should add it to this database for low mileage first gen Tacomas: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/lets-see-who-has-the-lowest-miles-on-their-1st-gen.457412/
