    Well, the names mike I have always been a Chevy man and a few times a jeep man, anyway I'm down in Florida picked up this 96 Toyota Tacoma (2.7, 4x4) power everything on 33" tires, it has a sweet paint job maroon with ghost smoke throughout with hidden skulls (very faint which I like).

    Couple bad things about it
    1st- needs inner cv boots
    2nd-has a oil leak somewhere thinking its just a real bad valve cover leak from the passenger side rear of the cover
    3rd- apparently it needs a radiator because I flushed it (because it was dark thought it would be rust) but its dark only after 1 drive and from what I've read the Tranny cooler breaks inside the radiator so I have a radiators on the way.
    4th- it has a 3" body lift (not my thing)
    5th- the guy swapped the gauge cluster out so it doesn't defect actual mileage but I took a gamble on that from what I see online these things last forever


    Sorry about the rant makes Me feel better now haha on with the pics
