    Agreed. I love the improvements as far as the engines and little features here and there like the bed outlet, but the size is the only turn off for me

    put the truck in 4wd and see if your front drive shaft spins. if it does then the t case is fine

    they feel more car like to me. i like the feel of the 1st gen. feels like a truck. same with the 1st gen tundra. yea its more comfortable than the tacos. but they still feel like an old truck

    Double cabs only came with automatic trans on 1st gens...at least in the US.

    The hilux model probably had a manual option

    Have you checked to make sure the pawl on the actuator can physically push the limit switches, might've worn down

    Locked it? You mean how I keep it secured against theft? I have a 30ft steel cable wrapped around it on all 4 sides through my bed rack, spare tire and hi lift...they'd have to cut the cable or lock, or unbolt the bed rack and somehow lift all that stuff off together lol.

    I can grab you a pic tomorrow when its light out

    My LC was the same way, but mine was all limit switch failures. Making it work freed em up and I replaced one limit switch. When I first got it, it didn't know when you put it in low so it wouldn't change shift point and would even go into overdrive haha. It also wouldn't lock the center diff and you'd get AWD Lo

    if you ever see one, its been swapped. toyota was nice enough to make it fairly easy.

    whenever i find a rotted double cab to put on the spare frame, it'll be a manual swapped double cab Frankenstein

    In California it's illegal to posses an animal, the animal actually owns you and you owe it taxes.

    The mere idea of property, my friend, is irrelevant. It is our land.

    Glory to the motherland.
