Drove it to pick up a new-to-me Tacoma (2.7 4cyl, SR5 PreRunner)! This will now be my daily (since it gets 20mpg), and the Cruiser will be my weekend/adventure/people hauler. :bounce:

It needs a little TLC, but no frame rust and mechanically it's in really great shape. Looking forward to learning a new truck!
I have the same vintage Tacoma. They are super simple and easy to work on, except for the oil filter is in a bad spot, and the skidplate is a pain to remove every time you need to get at something. Oh, and the headlights don't have bulbs, you have to change the whole headlamp (glass and all) if one goes bad. I'm not making a very good case. . .
 
I bought my first ever 80... the 80 is replacing my 95 4runner. (she was great and will be missed. oh well, she went to life with an old neighbor of mine.)
I just pulled the Mother-in-law steps and finder flares off, looks way better.
I have so many questions about this thing, trying to wear out the search feature before posting anything.

1995, factory diff locks.

Should have kept the flares, the 80s look much better with stock flares IMO.
 
Rented a camper and took my daughter on her first glamping trip.

Although if you wheel it they will be a mess. I agree on the look, but not the function.
If you run proper BS and use bump stops, I don't think it will be a mess. My friend runs 39s on a 6" lift and wheeled it hard and never had a problem with the flares.

In the tight PNW tree'd trails doesn't matter what lift or tire you run. The narrow trails will take them right off for you.

Thank you for focusing on search FIRST!

I agree on the looks as well, but damn I'm having trouble keeping them attached. Even missing one in my avatar!

Not my picture but it is my truck.

Thanks to Steve Pryor.

Spent a few days on the KAT (Kentucky adventure tour) trail. Scared my new GF a little bit I think.
I’m terrible about taking pictures so this is all I really got. I’ll have to ask her for others.
