    This is a 1996 Tacoma 4x4, and at first even I thought it was just another worn out 1st Gen; However, after talking to the owner I realized it was quite a rare find! Yes, it's beat up and rusty; The current owner had to do extensive work to the frame to get it to pass inspection, but it is safe to drive now. The A/C does not currently work, but it runs and drives great; At just under 186K miles, this thing is barely broken in!

    As stated above, when I first saw this truck, I didn't think it was a particularly special one; I don't see pre-2001 First Gens that often, so I took this picture; I decided to chat with the owner, who can be seen standing behind the truck in a red sleeveless shirt. He was a very nice guy, and after I told him about TW, he may be joining!

    So, what's so special about this truck?!?!

    I found this truck in the swap meet section of the Carlisle GM Nationals, so the owner had the truck filled to the gunwales with his merchandise; I assure you it is merely cluttered in this pic and not in particularly bad condition!

    Cruise control that, according to the owner, still works (I had to flip the photo around so the words on the control stalk weren't upside down)...

    Factory power windows and power locks; I have NEVER seen a regular cab Tacoma with power windows and power locks!

    Almost 186K miles; Barely broken in, and as you can see in the other pictures, the guy was pulling a trailer with it!

    Obviously, being a 1996, this truck uses R-134a in the air-conditioner; I looked under the hood of a 1994 Toyota pickup at a car show last November, and it came from the factory with R134a, and the 1992 pickup that I took pictures of last month had R-12. I'm assuming that 1993 would have been the last year for R-12...? As I said before, the A/C in this truck does not presently work; It likely only needs a charge, but as someone whose Tacoma went through an evaporator core replacement back in 2018, I can tell you that there's most definitely a leak somewhere. Honestly, a better case scenario would be that the compressor is locked up and needs to be replaced, which is also not a cheap fix, but it means that the system doesn't have any leaks...
