    Pretty sweet looking rig and nice that you are the original owner. I am not a frequent contributor but did just purchase a 2004 prerunner with 222K from the original owner. I'd recommend having upper and lower ball joints replaced if you haven't already. Mine came with the originals and based on what I read here, I replaced right away. Glad I did for safety but also was necessary to get it to hold an alignment. I also replaced a lot of front suspension parts and bushings and the carrier bearing and the truck really came to life. Drives straight now and doesn't have many vibrations. This site has a wealth of information and am grateful for all those who contribute great content.
