    I don't know how many of these were made but I bet there's very few left much less look that good. Best looking Tacoma ever made.

    of other upgrades.

    Here is my build page for some ideas for your truck as yours is close to the same truck as mine, almost my twin without any mods.
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...-hp-haltech-ecu-reg-cab-700-000-build.478395/

    BUT joining TW with be expensive from everything you see here,
    The rabbit hole starts here!
    With the most information and help you will find.
    TW members are the best!

    Start with replacement of the LBJ and enjoy the ride.

    you have a great start with this truck,
    Their are other single cab 3.4 owners here on TW too.
    FYI, 1997 ECU is compatible with the supercharger, 1995-1996 are not unless you
    do a stand-alone ECU or change the ECU and wire harness depending.
