    I'm a new member here. This 1996 Tacoma 4X4 is my 2nd Tacoma. I wanted a 1995-1996 ever since they came out new. I live in east county San Diego. This truck is completely stock except for a small front lift and the tires and wheels. I don't off road much anymore but I'm not getting rid of this truck, it's a keeper. I had all the major parts to do a SAS swap and dual cases but I changed my mind and sold all of the parts. Have a great day, Rod.

    Thank you Hobbs. I want to write a post looking for a mechanic(s) that want a side job installing a 2" body lift on my truck. Illnesses now prevent me from doing it myself. I don't see a search box for me to find out if it's been posted before. Can you give me a clue? Thank you.

    I don't normally recommend them, but the Truck Shop in Miramar will be able to do this for you. Their prices are competitive. Check the San Diego BS thread as well. When using the search tool, use the bottom search bar that says google in it. That will get you where you need to go :thumbsup:

    I was thinking about putting some of my knowledge (35 years, all professional) about car audio in an essay in the car audio forum of Tacoma World. I'm just wondering if it would be wanted/used. Any thoughts?
