    I picked up a 95 Tacoma single cab 2.7L from my brother. It is a great little truck and has been in the family for years. It currently has 222xxx miles and still runs and drives great. I have plans to do some restoring over the next couple years. I just picked up a valve cover gasket kit. I may try to powder coat my valve cover during the maintenance. I also will be doing a new clutch kit soon. I will try to keep things posted on here for support and to keep me motivated. One quick question I have currently, it has a 2" lift via leaf springs and coil spring inserts. The rear is starting to sag a little and I want to get it back up. Should I do a new set of springs or just the add a leaf rear leveling? I don't do much off road but do haul some equipment and dirt bikes on a regular basis. The ride is pretty good just want to get rid of the squat.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1426099085.297991.jpg

    Nice! Welcome to TW Marshall!
    Personally I would take the spacer lift off and replace with a better quality lift. I had nothing but trouble out of the spacer lift I had on my 2001 years ago. To answer your question though I would go ahead and get new leafs for the rear if you plan on keeping it. Just my $0.02 :)
