I have an 02 as well, 428k..outside the usual I've done flywheel, uni joint, cat converter, radiator, original 2.7 engine went out at 315k got lucky and found a used one w/ 70k on it, tranny rebuild at 380k, ball joints of course, the wheel bearings are still in good shape. Been rearended 3 times by girls on their phones lol but none of it major, a deer introduced itself to my front fender. Still runs good, looks good , handles like it always did...great little truck that I probably won't sell .
mad respect. They are such good trucks. Sold mine now driving 22 sport access cab. So far so good, liking the power. slow off line but after 50 they spool up pretty good. did kdmaxx tune mostly because trans shifting points were so bad. hope it lasts.....another 18 years would be nice.
M y2003 has over 313K miles repl ball joints once and also replaced front brearing seals only one side went bad but replaced both. Plus my Tacoma looks nicer then thus one shown. Never has left me on the road.
I have one too the same year, I love it, and I still running strong.👍
I have one just like it. Also purchased new in 2002. Just gave it to my son.

I have a 2004 Toyota prerunner with 211,000 and it's going strong.
I have an 01 taco, same trim as yours. The only mods I have are rims and led headlight bulbs.
I would love to have this truck.
Mine is also a 2002. Love it. 140K miles
What caused the cat to fail?
