    Yes, it's a far cry from my '84 FJ60; what with its tractor-esque but legendary 2F, top speed of 70 (screaming) and 10 mpg. Amazing capabilities with that rig but the 5ZE-FE feels so buttery smooth, quiet and efficient in comparison, not to mention the ride, clean engine bay and lack of miles upon miles of vacuum hosing (pre-desmog). I had forgotten what swift acceleration feels like.

    Pickin' her up later this afternoon, will post pics after I'm done riding around with no plates, insurance or money in the bank.

    I would do the 2 wheel drive, considering where you live and not used on trails, no need for 4 wheel drive, and your going up a year, but loosing some motor
