- We're starting a brand new project by tuning up a 2000 Toyota Tacoma, then taking it out for a test drive to see how tough it is in stock form.

Every time I see a Tacoma I cry. I had a 1998 Tacoma with a 2.7. It had 265,793 miles on it. I had to sell it because it had a failed lifter. I didn't have the money to fix it. That truck took me on my honeymoon and brought my daughter home from the hospital and several successful hunting trips. I miss my taco
You must be crying a lot, then 😢
@@phantom0456 I really do miss mine
@@sterlingwilkey2124 oh I believe you, the first gen Tacos are great trucks. I said what I did because there are Tacos everywhere 🙂
perhaps a failed lifter better than a ROTTED TO KRAP underbelly
Those trucks did not have lifters.
I bought a 1995.5 Tacoma when they first came out. Black, V6, 5 speed, 4x4. Great truck. Sold it long, long ago.
Less than 180k means that Tacoma hasn't even been broken in yet.
It will be broken soon enough.😂😂😂
right? he said 179K like that's a lot. I remember my first Toyota.
Can’t believe you guys put E3 spark plugs 🙄. They must have sponsored the video…
I watched this as a kid. Bought an identical black 2000 at 17 and did the grey wire mod with in 1 hour of purchase. Still have it, blew the motor and have broken so many parts beating the hell out of it. Thanks for the inspiration
Guess what didn’t break on this Tacoma, the Front Differential! Is that right, Mr. Roman - #TFLoffroad
Yeah, this was back when Tacomas were indestructible, unless you count rust. Now they’re overpriced and far less reliable.
Thanks for those infos👍
Love that engine, its unusual to see one with less than 300k on it an going strong.
I would’ve replaced the lower ball joints
Prerunner has 6 lugs too
Ghost ride the whip!!! Am I the only one who remembers that. 😂
I remember ghost ride the whip, I don't know what goat ride is lol
@@justcallmesmokey 😂Thank you. I fixed it.
One of my buddies who goes out into the oilfields and natural gas lines (honestly I don’t know what he reads personally but he travels way out to places where you can’t hardly get to). He just recently gave his son his old TRD and he got a new one.
You could have just said, got a buddy who got a new one and gave his son the old one, Jesus Christ man we didn’t need all that information. This is a comment section, not webmd talking bout your problems
@@hugolongjohnson5115 Ok I got long winded it happens, tell your therapist about it and get over it 🙄
People be internet asses lol.
I would’ve just replaced the seals just to be on the safe side
Wow this Tacoma is incredible 😊 like your best friend 😊
This is my favorite combo of options from my favorite year of Tacoma.
The 3.4 extra cab, with 4x4, and e locker. This model year also has my favorite facelift of 1st gen Tacoma. I prefer the small extra cab to the 4 door. Very sleek, nice bed, the perfect size for a truck and decent power too.
prerunners are also 6-lug
Great job and test , can u do this with a 5.7 tundra !
Now this a reason to subscribe
Gotta love the Toyota Tacoma (aka the Taco) its a great reliable and Dependable little truck and it'll outlast any overpriced EcoBoost vehicle that Ford makes with ease.
5 first gen tacos in my fleet... nothing will be as good as them (although i like my tundra to... and my MR2s... but tacos are versatile and fun)
its a non-interference engine, even if the timing belt wasn't done...
Simple the best tacomas, toyota #1
I got a brand new frame just a few years ago for free. I made it by less than 2 weeks for the extended recall. Over 10,000 build sheet and 6 months of a Toyota minivan for free
NiCE !!!
i actually bought toyotas last brand new extended cab frame 2 years ago and put it under my 98 supercharged tacoma. crazy i could even still get one. my 01 got a new frame in 2012 for free.
Awesome! Ive had 4 tacoma's, a 97 gen 1, 03 , totaled an 06, have had my 07 trd for 12 years,its stock but the best truck ive ever owned, new frame in 18 and many new parts but I'll die with it, ive driven the 3rd gen as a rental for 2days, could sign the papers on one today, dont like em, 2nd gen is the best
2nd gen 4cyl Automatic is not great, at just 80k miles it will NOT downshift with light feathering of the throttle from D to 3 on small hillies to maintain proper freeway speed (sounds like it just rumbles and does not want to do what the auto's are supposed to) is something wrong with it or just PURE Garbage transmission??? it is a 2o11 single cab 4WD if that matters at all
@efil4kizum well #1, my 07 TRD is a 6 cylinder 4.0 with a manual 6speed, the best combo that was offered for the 2nd gen and has had zero issues, I wouldn't call it junk, but the automatic transmission on the other hand, even being a Toyota is a complicated unit and being coupled to a underpowered 4cyl does not help because it is constantly searching or what your saying not searching for the right gear , i would start with the basics, make sure the trans oil level is ok on the dipstick, do this with it idling in neutral, it should be a clean red fluid, check under the truck for any leaks that might cause low fluid, if all checks good, then i would not mess around with any small time shops and go right to the dealer and have them diagnose the problem, it might be pricey, but you'll only do it once and know the problem (hopefully), then you can decide what to do. This is why I specifically bought a manual transmission, shifting is a pain sometimes, but it's a box of gears that I control witch one to be in, no computer controlled any thing, and much cheaper to rebuild if needed, good luck with it
I love Toyota back in 2021 I was gonna buy a 2003 Toyota tacoma but it was a 5 speed and I don't know how to drive a manual transmission
they are fun to learn LOL... i have been driving a manual Toyota vehicle since 1990... 34 years of the good life!
My Pre-runner is a 6 lug.
They all were 6 lug
@@devengudinas1649Nope, my 2004 is a five lug.
@@devengudinas1649I believe the pre runner and 4WD were 6 lugs
@@thedeadman3848 5 lug 2wd trucks are not the same a pre-runners. Different frame, suspension, engine, trans, and rear end.
EXTENDED COMA?
Should have put a toyota pump in it, you'll be doing it again sooner than you think.
7:29 I would adise against those e3 spark plugs you have on that table.. those plugs can release the tip and destroy your engine.
He’s wrong the pre runner is the same truck as the 4x4 minus the transfer case and front diff
are there ANY PRErunners with MT? i have heard they are ALL automatics??
@@efil4kizum just googled it and yes there was manuals
Prerunner is 6 lug
The whole parts table should’ve been OE Toyota parts. They lasted 180k - nothing else will.
That's not a track it's a Toyota.
Wish my friend didn't ride out of my 97 Tacoma what's 101,000 mi on it. Sold it back to Toyota so they can crush it
anything with a 1999 jeep xj??
those E3 plugs r junk... use OEM plugs always
Confirmed .. the tips can break over time and will destroy the engine
Bring back the fn 93 caprice. Wtf are yall doin?!
THEIR OUT THEYRE CRANKIN THEM HOGS. CHUCK
E3 spark plugs and a shitty air filter… nice. 😂
This has a 30 year old format, same with the monster garage narration.
Hey quit screwing around that’s an $80,000 dollar truck.
That style of Tacoma didn’t come with a TRD package I don’t think.
yes it did i have one as well
U guys can have nice trucks, we dont have tacomas here in Brazil, mostly shitty american chevy garbage.
These are a rare sight these days. 99% of them rusted away a long time ago. They werent great trucks anyways. Under powered turds.
Horrendous driving.
Rotten frame
Where?
@@platinumwearer20 10 minutes after it gets wet
@hotbucketofdiarrhea5546 At least it's more robust than any EcoBoost powered vehicle that Ford makes will ever be.
Ecoboost is garbage. The #1 cylinder is caked with carbon within 10k miles. Also they hydrolock due to thin cylinder walls . I had a 1998 expedition that spit out spark plugs. Ford is overpriced junk.
ur crazy if u think that’s rotten lol come to the north if u wanna see rust
