    Yeah, I did get pretty lucky. Happen to run across it on the good ol' Craigslist. At least you have a 97, the best looking truck they made!

    Hey ToyotaMX, i just bought a 99 and I am looking to through some hard earned cash at it to make it handle like a truck should off road. I've been doin some research and it seems like your setup is about the best out there for what I want to do with my truck. If you would mind taking the time I would love a PM of exactly what is your front end set up and what it cost you to do. Thanks buddy

    Well, this is the end for me and my 97. I picked up a 2013 trd sport 4x4.

    I am selling the 97 to my brother. At least its staying in the family...where I can watch it...lol.

    Plus I told him he had to make an account of TW and continue the build thread. :D

    The new truck:

    LOL. I figured I would start getting responses like that. Don't worry. The 97 is parked right next to the 2013 right now. They are hashing things out. Its going to be OKAY.

    Should have at least picked a better color than white... Your brother is a lucky guy. Don't know why you traded down but to each their own...
