    howdy Ladies and Gents. Just picked up this beauty on Friday night. 97 3.4L V6 4x4 manual. I've wanted one of these FOREVER! It will be my daily driver because I have a 97 80 series that is my toy. It was recently repainted and its missing all the emblems and badges. Any of you fine folks know where can one get different color badges and emblems? Thanks in advance. received_988767754892408.jpg Screenshot_20200826-190424_Messenger.jpg Screenshot_20200826-190429_Messenger.jpg Screenshot_20200826-190424_Messenger.jpg

    The package deals are all matte black or black. Not sure how that would look on a black truck

    Over the past couple of days I've had trouble shifting into gear when I leave the Taco overnight. Come morning it will not shift into gear until I force it. After it's warmed up and I'm driving it around, it's fine, even if i stop at a stop sign or traffic light, it will shift no problem. I just changed the fluid so I'll see if that changes anything. Could it be the slave cylinder? Clutch or tranny? If yall got any experience with this I'd appreciate any input. Thanks!

    Check the bushing that the shift lever rides in. If they deteriorate or disintegrate, then your symptom will happen.

    While I'm here I should show off my new tires. I downsized to 32x11.50r15s, because the original tires were worn out, and shaking uncontrollably at highway speeds.
