That 3.4 liter engine is such a good one. It's not particularly powerful or efficient, but properly maintained, will run forever. Good restoration!

Those trucks are everywhere.

Man, I love this model. I had two, a 2001 and 2003. The 2001 got into an accident 😢 300,000 miles no issues. Bought a 2003 in 2016 at 115000 miles have nearly 270000 miles on it no issues! A truly amazing truck, fantastic job on that restoration 😊

Hello there Gentlemen. I was just wondering where you guys are located? I loved the 2003 Tacoma restoration. That was an outstanding job you did. I also have a 2003 Tacoma that needs a complete paint job. The frame and interior are super clean. By the way Im in Florida....God Bless...You all take care ....

Super nice video my brother has a 97 that needs some refreshing so these videos help a lot

Thank you for sharing. Your skills, passion, and attention to detail are inspiring. I have an '04 manual V6 TRD Tacoma Xtracab that I am getting ready for winter. Mountain pass after mountain pass. 20 below to 120° F. She's never let me down. I was tempted to get a '23 since it's the last of the V6, but I figure my girl's still gotta life left in her (176 k).🤘

Wondering how noticable a color change would be if not doing inside the engine bay... Planning on getting mine done some point soon but really dont feel comfortable having them take components out of the engine bay. Id imagine since its originally silver that probably makes it a bit easier to pass off.

We spent around a thousand dollars on parts not including tires and wheels.

I'll never understand why people put oversized rims on an off-road vehicle. Tire sidewall is the difference between traction and no traction additionally larger rims and tires with less sidewall creates a significantly harsher ride. Personally I wouldn't go larger than a 16-inch rim which would allow you to do the tundra brake upgrade on this specific vehicle

If the engine doesn’t come out I wouldn’t call it a restoration. Especially after blasting the electrical system with a pressure washer.
