    I am biased but I think the 80’s Toyotas look the best with an ARB. Maybe someday I can afford one for my 85...

    Very nice, I had one back in the early 90s, nice truck, love the long beds! I had to sell it to go to HVAC school for expenses and a van to live in while at school. I regretted it but it was a worthy sacrifice, kinda made room for the 85 in my future.

    Old school TOYOTA Friends, I ask for your advice on replacing my 82 pickup springs and shocks. I want to keep look and ride original. Mine aren’t terrible, but ready to invest in the little truck. Anyone do this in recent years and could make suggestions? ThanksAF4C0882-D623-4A43-BAA3-6BDC5E2B0190.jpg

    I’ve been on Tacoma world for a few years and just found out about this thread by another member on here! Welp here’s my 84 fresh suspension just installed today (old man emu) there’s a lot of nice looking older rigs on here!

    I just replaced my shocks with KYB gas adjust for stock ride height on my 85. They ride great. Didn't replace the springs. Good luck on your search.

    Thanks Spintly for your input. Good to know of the KYB gas option. I would not have consider, but will look into it.
