the reason they're so special is they are the last year of the solid front axle and the first year of the 22re.

it does say that it was the only year toyotat put a SA in that model (i assume to mean w/ the 22re) In that case, it is the only year for a SA and FI

it's a nice combo, guess people just think its worth that much more then adapting another year to it.

i'd rather do an SAS on a later model truck than convert an earlier model to fuel injection and swap in the wider rear axle, convert to crossover steering and redo the front spring hangers.

then again, my stock truck performs pretty well. next step is new springs and crossover...
