olharleyman, i have seen that T100, although thats a Little EXTREME for me, i like it greatly lol, i am more looking for the "cheaper" mods you can do to improve the performance offroad, or should i say reliability, even though i have stock setup and been in mud past tha door seals at tha bottom and....well.....she went through fine, i even tryed to get stuck by pullin in slow, puttin it in 2wd and tryin to get out, took me a min to get out but i done it, i just took my time and was sure not to get over 3.5kRpms, i think it helps havin stock tires as 31-10.50s, i am gonna move up when i can, or might just get some aftermarket wheels to make them stick out

They're available on your current computer too...
When you open the T100 section here, scroll down through the 2 pages of threads. Several thread titles referring to mods, lifts, tires, etc. Copy & paste links. This internet stuff isn't as hard as it looks.

i appreciate the input everyone, open to more at any time!! my truck is 5spd manual, it will be more of a trail type deal, but not much big rocks, but there is that occaision, and will be on logging trails also, so occaisional sticks in the road, and also i will be playing in the mud, and yet this will also be my everyday truck, wich i will be on the road come october, and also use it to haul stuff, so i dont wana lift it to much, but i can always get a hitch to put in my reciever to level it a lil better
so now, to the point, im more in the market for a mild lift, somethin probally easier to put on, and yet cheap!! so possibly a body lift? 2 inches, as i beleive if i go only 2 inches, then i wont have to extend the steering links, and all those things, and with 2 inch i should be able to fit 33's, so that would be about all i would need i beleive

You can do Balljoint spacers upfront.. SDORI.com ....
And shackles in the rear, IDK who makes shackles for t100's, maybe downey-offroad.com
If you do a 2" BL youll still have to extend steering, 1" is the least required, hit up 4crawler.com and do alot of reading about body lifts...

4-5 hours, you need a 4.5" angle grinder, and your really gonna want some jackstands, you have to dance back and forth..if you find enough threads on it, I know I have one, at sdori.com is a good one, and theres a bunch here, youll know whats involved...please take a few mind out and read read read...

i put a 2" body lift that cost around 200 dolla with shipping and all and i got a great deal on on wheels i found 33" coopers mounted on american racing baja rims for only 700!!! and the 33s fit fine with the 2" body lift minus the front mud flaps....o and you will run into a lil problem with the stick shift and the body lift but nothing major...
heres a pic with 33s before the lift i had the torsions a bit jacked but they fit with the stock lift
