    Look at this piece, just kidding I really like it and it 3RZ pulls strong, transmission felt great rowing gears, and 4x4 worked amazingly for no rear diff anyways.

    I hit the dirt roads hard, gravel pit, and climbed some hills, never had this long of wheelbase offroad. Im sold just in my brief experience.

    Besides being filthy on the floorboard the interior is nice though, and the guy gave me a brand new grill non painted. No cracks in the dash, I don't think there was a tear in the seat, glove box isn't broken. My friends were a little jealous.

    I'm just enjoying how well it handles offroad being so long, and it's great when you don't mind the limbs in a trail!:cool:

    I've browsed craigslist several times and never saw it for sale. Maybe it was I just never saw it.

    I found the guy asking a question about his tacoma and just asked how much you want.

    He said he wanted the driveline. Thought I read it was bought to convert a DC PR to manual 4x4. He could use his old parts to get this one back rolling.

    I gotta bit confused, anyways.

    ABS isn't an issue if you're used to a samurai on toyo axles and 35's

    you just can't be in a hurry anywhere.
