Hey all, normally I hang out over in the Land Cruiser sections of this site but I will soon be the new owner of a 2000 Tacoma Xtracab. Here's a little more about it:
3RZ-FE 2.7L 4-cylinder engine
4wd
5 speed manual
~115,000 miles
I'm in northern Utah and the truck is located Arizona though it has spent most of its life in Washington state.
This will be my daily driver (whenever I'm not on my motorcycle) however I do plan to put Aisin hubs up front. When the tyres that it has now wear out I would like to put some tall skinny tyres on it with some grey steel wheels. I'll probably remove the brush/grille guard and the running boards when I get it home.
One thing I'd like to do off the bat is put some of the factory flares on. Here is my understanding of factory flares around the year 2000:
'98-'00 factory flares were made of fiberglass and shorter
'95-'00 TRD flares from were made of plastic
'01-'04 factory flares made of plastic and taller
From 2001 on there were square notches in the fender for attachment.
If possible I would like to obtain some '95-'00 TRD flares. The plastic kind without having to drill the fenders. Can I source these anywhere else besides the dealer?
Would the '01+ flares work on a 2000?
