    Snowy/ cold winters used to be the routine in ECI in the 60s-70s. My brother has been here since the mid 60s & has related stories about blizzards.

    We want a change of landscape. We both like the cold/snow & the Idaho lot is w/i 9 miles of ski resort(both kids love to snowboard & ski)

    Need to have a 4x4 though, absolute must for that area

    Dealer. It was actually from a Subaru dealer in northern Indiana. Used Tacomas seem pretty hard to come by around here!

    Yes, that is true. Toyota of Danville has had a decent collection & Green Toyota in Springfield.
    Hardly any private party Tacomas

    Dang. That's good to know. I just went there to get a small alignment. I'll definitely be sure to check out the other places and hopefully save a few bucks next time! Thanks!

    I have no access to lift, or any knowledge on how to work on suspension but need to have someone do a suspension install with a 2-3" lift. Anyone have any recommendations between Springfield and St. Louis?

    My 09' is starting to ride pretty rough. The previous owner used the truck to tow a lot of things, so I think my struts are toast. I already want to get a lift on my truck, and figured I might as will purchase a lift kit to hopefully fix the rough ride, and also get the lift I desire.

    I've got no time restraint, I just possess zero knowledge on suspension work and would rather pay to have it done properly.
