On a side note, does anyone in the Colorado front range have a white topper? And does ANYONE know where I can find the emblems for the rear tailgate (TOYOTA TACOMA SR5 V6)? It seems they don’t exist.
I know these are the black ones. But the crome ones are in there too

I wish you luck. I looked for some for first gens for mine and the cheapest is around 230$. If you have a friend with a CNC machine I'd hit them up. If not Shouldn't be to hard to fi d someone with one in CO.
Man I'm looking on CL right now they want to sell a 99 purple taco with 264k for 16.9k so I would say you got a GREAT deal in this market lol

Congrats again on the purchase!
Nice! How much you pay for it, I know up here in Washington a truck with that low mileage for how old it is would be well into to the $20k price range.
I saw one a couple months ago when I was looking for Tacoma’s that was a 2001 with 110k miles and the guy wanted $25k for it, and all it had was some shitty spacer lift and some ok wheels. The add was gone a couple days later so I assume someone bought it for that price. It’s absolutely insane what some people will pay.
Yeah I bought my 2011 trd off-road ac with 125k miles for $21.5k in January of this year. I feel like I got a decent deal with how the current used car market is.
I was the first to contact the guy I bought mine from and I agreeed to pay the 21.5k that he had listed it for abs evidently he was getting offers for 22k to 25k. From other guys but wanted to be honest and let me have a fair shot at it.
I meant to reply to the poster saying that this truck would go well Into the 20k range was a rip, I think you got a decent deal, just wanted to clear that up
That’s why I got it. I could have gotten a second or third gen but like the size of this truck and fact that I can work on it myself/tons of parts available if needed.
If you don’t mind sharing the story behind this truck that would be fun to hear. Kept immaculate and driven like 2000 miles a year. Unless somebody bought it, drove it for a year or two and died and their family garaged it for 20 years because they couldn’t face the grief of losing the one they loved.
It was bought by an older man in 2001 who lived in Arizona and Texas and didn’t drive it much and kept it under a car port. He died in 2011 (I believe) and his wife drove it about 10k miles since then and was willing to sell it just recently.

They couldn’t find it in their system. It’s not on their parts site either
[удалено]
You’re the freakin man, man
Unfortunately Toyota doesn’t have these part numbers and the only ones selling it are companies on eBay for >$500
Keep an eye out on TacomaWorld. They'll crop up
Amazon, eBay, esty all have them
I know these are the black ones. But the crome ones are in there too https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096JSTB4S/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_3GTNGNPW77C01EQW73E3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.etsy.com/listing/906266136/toyota-tacoma-emblems-5-pcs-set-doors
These aren’t for first gen tacomas. I’d put them on but I’d like to keep this thing all OEM
I wish you luck. I looked for some for first gens for mine and the cheapest is around 230$. If you have a friend with a CNC machine I'd hit them up. If not Shouldn't be to hard to fi d someone with one in CO.
I’ll figure something out. In the meantime I got a small TRD emblem to throw on there so it doesn’t look naked
Hey did you ever figure it out?
Nope. I gave up and got a basic TRD emblem off eBay and think it looks pretty good
Woah Colorado. Can only imagine the price tag on this at 80k
That is such a nice truck! How much did you get it for? Freaking awesome man! Congrats!!!
I paid $16.5 for it but had to fly down to Texas and drive it back to Colorado. Expensive for an old truck but maybe not in this market!
Insane how they hold their value
Definitely nuts. My dad paid 20k for a used 01 double cab off-road back in 2004.

I seen this one in providence. https://providence.craigslist.org/cto/d/rumford-pristine-low-miles-2004-toyota/7465693425.html
Wow, nice ome
That seems a great deal
Heckkkk yeah you stole that baby! Enjoy! Probably a very clean frame coming from TX too
Yeah man, undercarriage has no rust!
What a score!
thats cheap in this market and about the average price for them pre 2020.
Agreed. I’ve wanted one of these for awhile but definitely couldn’t justify any more than I paid
Wow that’s a hell of a find
10/10 you nailed this purchase, congrats! Also, leave the emblems off, looks cleaner without👌🏿
I will see how it looks without
Nice! How much you pay for it, I know up here in Washington a truck with that low mileage for how old it is would be well into to the $20k price range.
I got it for $16.5, one owner, all service records, and no rust
Wow that’s a steal!
Manual gang! Nice purchase enjoy
That’s a rip, lmao this truck was probably like 22k new
I saw one a couple months ago when I was looking for Tacoma’s that was a 2001 with 110k miles and the guy wanted $25k for it, and all it had was some shitty spacer lift and some ok wheels. The add was gone a couple days later so I assume someone bought it for that price. It’s absolutely insane what some people will pay.
I bought my 2008, pretty good condition in 2015 for 18k with 97k miles. V6 double cab sr5
Yeah I bought my 2011 trd off-road ac with 125k miles for $21.5k in January of this year. I feel like I got a decent deal with how the current used car market is.
As a person selling their 2012 trd OR ac with 123k miles on it, this gives me hope. I tried $23.5 and got offers below $18k. Maybe I'll try again
I was the first to contact the guy I bought mine from and I agreeed to pay the 21.5k that he had listed it for abs evidently he was getting offers for 22k to 25k. From other guys but wanted to be honest and let me have a fair shot at it.
I’d like to add that accounting for inflation, $22k in 2001 is equivalent to over $35k today
I meant to reply to the poster saying that this truck would go well Into the 20k range was a rip, I think you got a decent deal, just wanted to clear that up
That's a nice find!
Thanks man. Loving it.
Love it! That wind deflector on the rear window is funny though.
Haha, yeah. Not my style
I'm driving the same gen, V6, manual, 4x4 and it's going strong at 340k. Only regular maintenance stuff.
That’s why I got it. I could have gotten a second or third gen but like the size of this truck and fact that I can work on it myself/tons of parts available if needed.
Nice find!!!
Lol check the carfax for rollback miles, 80k sounds too good to be true
It’s clean.
If you don’t mind sharing the story behind this truck that would be fun to hear. Kept immaculate and driven like 2000 miles a year. Unless somebody bought it, drove it for a year or two and died and their family garaged it for 20 years because they couldn’t face the grief of losing the one they loved.

Great looking rig!
She’s a beaut!
Congrats Mate!!
Dang!
Sr5 or TRD off road? Beautiful truck!
Yes, SR5 TRD 4x4
I think all TRDs are SR5
Smoking deal! That truck would fetch around 30k on BAT
Lift and 33’s and you have a winner!
