    Toytec ultimate lift kit, light racing UCAs, ARB bumper and full skid plates underneath. Looking into redoing the suspension and maybe repainting the ol' Taco.
    I don't know that I'd change anything about my truck as is. Black rugged trail is exactly what I wanted.

    But, I think it would be nice to have a car again too. I'm kind of a fan of the G35 at the moment. But, if there was some huge $80k settlement, I'd get a GTR.

    Sorry to say but I'd probably get a Mini :S or a Lotus unless the taco was completely changed.

    After reading all the previous posts, i see that many of the people who have pre-runner 2wd say they would get a 4x4 next time... That's interesting.

    Now i know i'm not the only one:D
    I do regret not getting the 4x4 but i had a good deal on mine so i couldn't pass it up.

    A few bolts are different.
    after shedding tears I would go for a 1997 40th anniversary fj80 and dump the rest of the money into my 84 to go wheelin.

    Mine was a total loss...Well, toyota saw it that way. 99 TRD bought back under frame rust warranty. They gave me a check for $15,000 in April 08.
