    Hey hows it going? Im Cary and i joined the forums for tips/advice on my tacoma. I also own a 86 mitsubishi starion which i have been building for a few years. The truck is sort of a daily driver, no mods.

    Got it from a customer of my shop for cheap. He blew the head gasket (didnt want to replace the clogged radiator) and then didnt want to fix the head. I've had it running for about 6 months and its a great truck. I used to have an old doo doo brown toyota from i think '81 with a 22R motor.

    Been debating doing a 2JZ swap and dropping it. Not air ride but just springs/spindles. Any good places for suspension parts? Any advice on the 2j swap? Now i know most go to the V6 motor as that is much easier to do but I just want to have a decent turbo truck without going crazy on it.

    Intake, exhaust, lift. Typical stuff.
    Head over to customtacos.com. Lots of tuner/street trucks over there and more than a few 2JZ swaps.

    And welcome to TW. Looking forward to a sweet build!
