    Hey everybody. In August I was in need of something 4x4, and manual. My best friend from highschool had a 4runner. I started looking there but couldnt find something in my price range with the 4 cyclinder. I continued to look and came across a tacoma. ended up getting a great deal and picked it up.

    Now im new to owning toyotas. I have alwasy been and still am a BMW guy but I needed a second car and it needed to be 4x4. I dont have many pics of it but will soon. Its a 95, manual, 2.7. Im not sure how large the lift is so if anyone knows a way to measure that let me know. its got 218,xxx miles on it but runs extremely strong and doesnt burn a drop of oil.

    ^ that was when I first got it. tool box didnt lock so I picked up a canopy for cheap.

    Thanks from both of you, 05 tacoma and hillbilly. I have always been a toyota fan but this is the first one ive owned. I love it so far! Ive got two questions though, how do i measure the lift on it, and what is the heat/defrost toggles part of the dash supposed to look like?
    Heres my other thread
