    Hey guys,

    I'm in the process of buying a 98, Xcab, 3.4L, 4X Taco from my father. It has about 186K miles on it. My brother was the first owner and my father bought it from him, so I know all of it's hisory. It's still in good shape just needs some TLC.

    It currently needs one of the rear wheel seals, brakes, timing belt, and a bushing in the steering assembly. Performance mod's will follow.

    I'm here to learn and do all the work myself. Thanks in advance for any and all helpfull posts/threads.

    Pic's will follow when I take delivery of the truck.

    Joe
