    Another miserely build...

    98 Tacoma PreRunner DLX (non-TRD)
    No before pictures -
    Purchased used for 6500 - my eldests first vehicle, it had a SnugTop lid as the only aftermarket access, and was shod with 225/75R15 tires on factory steelies

    Life twists and the truck becomes mine when she bought her own 02 Tacoma PreRunner TRD.

    She sit's today with 225,000~ miles

    IMG_0778_zpsgicoxvva_a838e95e4639493f1e88bb15a20ddd87a5a321ba.jpg

    285/75R16's on later model factory alloys (off her 02 when she got set of Ironman TRD rims)
    Converted to 4x4 using knowledge, parts, and assistance obtained through internet forums.
    New 4.88 gears, rear w/ ARB locker
    SAW coilovers up front, Wheeler's 5+3 leaf pack and Bilstiens
    Used front rear bumpers
    self fabricated bed rack (exc welding - outsourced)
    RTT
    Much more.

    Like others juggling life's responsibilities, I've had to do this in bit's and pieces - a little here, a little there. Some over-extension of credit early on, helped with big-ticket items. The 4x conversion took me 8 months. back end first. Daily drive for a while - tranny/trans/rear driveshaft, a month later - front drive components.
    Bought used parts whenever possible, fabricated materials as needed - pinched every dam n penny I could.

    Serves my needs to a T

    I hope I'm not booted out of this thread for having two of them. I'm such a poseur.

    The 1993 Pickup has poverty-spec four cylinder and crank windows but also has A/C, cruise, tilt wheel and intermittent wipers.

    The 2003 Tacoma has white gauges with tach and A/C but everything else is manual. I also gave it manual hubs to make it more poverty-spec.

    But usually people with the largest most heavily-optioned trucks also have the smallest bank account balances. Cruel irony.

    For you poverty friends, can you send pictures of the cruise control module? Mine does not have cruise, but I do have a tach.

    No ABS
    My wipers have on and fast. No intermittent settings.

    Mine has the same wheels as you

    With 285/75 is there any rub in factory suspension?

    I have 225/70 on same wheels on mine

    If you can locate the intermittent wiper stalk, it's a simple swap...

    Lotus - yes, up front, frame rub with wheels fully turned both left and right. Also have some sidewall rubbing the UCA when aired down... Suspension isn't 'factory' however. At least not the coilovers and rear leafs/shocks..

    I think possibly because the 4 door was only available 01 and up, and the Tacoma was being seen less as a workhorse, and more of an adventure vehicle. Less demand for the no frills, no shit good truck
