4wd come with stock lifts. The springs sit on top of eachother. ball joints, too. And for some reason, you can never get a 2wd to look exactly like a 4wd, even with a lift..it never looks correct.

lol. pics of my baby? i havent taken pics in a while. my camera went mia for a while. i finally got my junk on though. not much left to do. almost done gettin all the dents pulled too. then shes gettin painted. cant wait. i'll actually be able to make her pretty again. WOOO.

i'll have to get out the camera soon and get some for ya though. take pics on the not rock chewed on side. gotta find somewhere to flex it out though... oiy.

who the hell needs paint? Get some armor, or beefier tires.

What are your meats at?

dijlop

so true. wont even try. lol. hopfully ill be able to hook myself up with a 4wd at some point soon, although the parents probally wont let it happen for quite a while...

till then im just gonna keep messin with my truck. gotta spend my spendin money somewhere. hehehe

dijlop

lol. i tried. once again, guess who insisted on the paint? yea. parents. and i dont need the armor. lol. it came from a parking lot incident. it was nasty. over 1000 worth of damage in about 4 seconds. kid in a tundra spun out of a spot next to me and chewed on my entire side all the way out. all 3 windows. ugh.

as of now i got about 28's. bought some jeep wheels off a kid from school and they came with about 75% tread left. and of course me wanting to go bigger has seen this so far, "we already bought u new tires. i dont want to hear about it." guess they dont realize a full set of wheels and tires for 150 bucks is a good deal... AHH PARENTS.

You got one lucky son!
Nice to see a family of toyota's

trust me, as someone who was hoping for an insurance drop at 19 or 20...you dont get it...infact, when i turned 21, my insurance dropped a measly 42 dollars total...good thing i only play about 740 for the truck a year.

and as for bad, when i was 18 and had my 2004 civic si, i was paying 2800 a year for insurance, now that im 21 and im looking at a 1999 prelude, im looking at paying 1200 without comprehensive or collision, with im looking at about 2k...not cool

dijlop

so that sick 30000 dolla truck isnt his, right? cause if it is i wanna be friends too... lol. i plan on tryin to add a little more power hopefully, some more lift, some work on the audio system.

other than that im stuck.

dijlop

lol. i dont like civics. hehehe. anyways, thats an 04. we're talkin '94 here. even the 99 is 5 years newer than my truck. regardless, insurance stinks. i think we all agree on that.

91TPU

yes insurance blows, esp if you have to have collision, honestly if i pay under 5k for the car/truck its not getting collision...not worth it in my book...

dijlop

i freakin got my truck from my grandparents. didnt pay a dime. its paid off. yet i guess im stuck with full coverage as far as i know.

the_gunslinger

i keep my insurance under my driver's seat...it's even loaded.

littlerunner

My insurance is 1,700 for highest coverage I can get, I'm 22 with no accidents or tickets.

reggie 00

Insurance, lets see...

full coverage on 2 cars and a 4x4 Tahoe, liability on the 4runner, renters ins with a large dog rider, and a life insurance policy, so so record,230 a month.

magicninja

i got mine from my grandparents too. only had 55k on the odometer. i have liability, with 1 accident and i pay 133 a month.

Joe's Toy

Oh man you have to be kidding! I was quoted from 200-750 a month for my insurance (full coverage) as a 19 year old no (at fault) accidents. Thank God I got the $200 quote or i wouldn't have been able to get my truck. Nice looking fleet! You are a good advocate for Toyotas everywhere!

2WDoffroadx

yeah that offroad machine is fackin BRUTAL TOUGH.
sooo sick!!! I know that guy, too. But hes not a friend, just an aquintance.

as far as power upgrades, Im running downey headers, CAT, & intake. Pretty much full blown power overhaul without spending a grand.

Intake definately adds spunk. So do headers.

As far as deeper stuff goes, here are some bigger, badder, more expensive things you can do for power.
-rebuilt EFI
-upgraded stand alone ECU/chip..
-Or just drop a 3.0 into it.



I'd go with the third choice if you gotz the mula.
Otherwise, i reccomend DOWNEYoff-road.com.
