I would not be afraid of a 1st gen with that mileage even if you aren't "handy" set some money aside for maintenance and you will be good. These trucks don't need much usually if they are taken care of...timing belt/wp and LBJs every 100k then little things every so often. There are many threads...
At the risk of starting yet another obligatory tire thread I would like some input on the thoughts between these two tires. My truck is used pretty much for working in the woods guiding. It sees very little pavement and most of the time is spent getting to the good spots. If narrowed my...
1st gen tundra DC....plenty of room for kiddo seats and tows way better than a Tacoma. Looks bigger but honestly is not that much larger than a 2nd or 3rd gen tacoma dclb. Only down side is no factory locker.
Rear 5100s aren't height adjustable like the fronts. They are a longer shock so they can accommodate a rear lift option if need be but are also fine with just a stock rear end.
I have 5100s up front and 4600 HD in the rear since the PO had just replaced the rears. When it's time I'll be...
I got mine from wheelers offroad around 230 bucks so exactly the same price point. Install is easy since it's just basically changing the shock. There were some quality control issues a few years ago but that seems to be resolved.
Why not run a set of 5100s instead...for the price you would have a new shock and a lift system that is specifically designed not to limit up travel or over extend down travel. If you Google 5100 vs spacer there's a pdf file from bilstein explaining this.
Fwiw I have an 06 DC with 5100s set on...
Quite surprised with your experience with duratracs in the snow. I've run a lot of different tires ATs and MTs on lots of different trucks (I work in the woods every day) and found them to be the best tire for multiple snow depths and conditions off road and on road. Nothing is awesome on ice...
I'very never heard of the 15 year thing. I had a taco frame replaced and my 1st Gen tundra inspected and sprayed. So can I go back with my tundra before the 15 year mark for another inspection even if the service campaign is over?
