    No mods. Just stock. I've rebuilt the engine and had it bored 40 over so my pistons are slightly bigger. Other than that no mods. Its all in the gearing. Plus my exhaust. I have a high flow cat on it and a non stock muffler. Can't remember what it is. It just feeds stright through kinda like a cherry bomb but not as loud. Still has that nice toyota sound.

    How do you like your high flow cat? Does it help any or no? Increased sound? Im thinking about getting one.

    The sound is increased a little. Not too bad though. Im sure the cat helps, but I can't tell the difference. Its not like our 3.0s are high performance engines. lol

    my 33's are really expensive. I never burn out. Too much gas and tire wear. I try and drive like an old lady sometimes.

    Heard that. All and all I like my 91. Besides a couple of head gasket repairs I've been real happy with it

    You got chrome everywhere else on the truck..... bumpers, door handles, wheel liners, mirrors... Chrome wheels will fit nicely with the rest of the chrome.

    Besides...which wheels are cheaper? Go with that....:D
