Hey tacoma world , i just purchased a 95 2.7 4x4 5 speed tacoma about 3 weeks ago. I never owned a tacoma with this engine before. Is there anything I should pay special attention to? Mechanical wise. Any suggestions for lift/leveling kits? Thanks.

Welcome to TW, nice looking 1st gen!! One tip I can give is to keep an eye on frame rust and use a product like Fluid Film if you live in an area that uses salt in the winter.
