    I've wanted a 4wd Toyota since 1985. The first truck I owned was a '94 Toyota pickup. It was as basic as they come. I loved it and drove the wheels off of it. After many years and many vehicles I came across this beauty last week. Looking forward to lots of fun in this bad boy.

    This truck has about 160,000 miles on it. Right now it looks like about a 3" lift with spacers and blocks. It bounces some when you hit bumps on the highway. I don't expect or really want it to ride like my wife's expedition, but does the off road suspension ride like this or is it time to start looking for new shocks?

    The front ones are original. The back ones look like they were replaced when the blocks were put in.

    I cleaned the back ones the best I could and couldn't find a brand name on them. I tried to get in touch with the first owner and he hasn't replied. The fronts are the yellow bilstein struts. I'd say they have all 160000 on them. Judging by the wear on the front spacers I'd say they have been on there since he got the truck. The title said it had 3xxx on it when he bought it.
