    Im sure it is here some where i just cant find it.
    If i do a 6 inch lift and get the proper kit not doind it the cheep way.

    What am i looking at for steering linkage problems and drive shaft(prerunner) angle problems.

    Any pics of a 6" lift would be great.

    Also who makes ring and pinion gear sets for our truck.

    I just decided tonight to give up the Girlfriend. Bah, too much drama.....and I thought this one was a good one.

    I have a Honda Prelude (1993) as my daily bullshit vehicle....I only live 9 KM (so what is that, like 6 MI) from work. I take that most of the time....I take the Tacoma on Fridays to show it off though. :D

    Oh women though.....so many women, so little time.

    Your setting a good example, note the glasses, gloves, jackstands, and the cleanlyness of you work area. Truck looks clean, must have been new. Kinda glad I didn't go the 6" route.

    With a 4wd you have to cut the factory crossmember to allow for the front driveshaft when you drop everything up front. CraigTRD, I'm right there with you, I got the Pro Comp stage 2 installed about 3 weeks after buying mine. Nothing like cutting up a brand new 30k truck, lol.
