Advice for a new owner

Hello all,

I am the proud owner of a white 2002 Toyota Tacoma TRD sr5 as of 5 days ago.

I have spent some of that time hungrily devouring the stickys and recommended reading on TW, and I have some questions

Now the guy that previously owned the truck doted on it, as it has 113k miles on it, had the water pump replaced, the timing belt replaced at 74k, and all other belts replaced just before he sold it to me. The car came with a 6-inch front lift and a 7 inch back lift. I'm pretty the lift is primarily body lift with block, but he also mentioned that he had the back leaf springs replaced with a "heavy duty towing" set. Now, he obviously had a taste for "brodozer" trucks as he had a revtech suspension installed in the front. It also came with brand new BFgoodrich 33", a K&N air intake, and rear locking diff.


Personally i'd like to make this truck more offroad oriented, so I'm looking for some opinions on the revtech suspension. Is it reasonably capable offroad, or should I ditch it and spring for a replacement? So far on the forum I've seen some people call it shit, and others say its ok.

Also any help IDing exactly what’s under the truck would be a great lead for research.
