Here's mine!!! It was my first vehicle, my dad bought it brand new right off the delivery truck and I got it when I was 16 (22 now). It was bone stock when I got it, and I never am going to sell it. I plan on handing it down to my kids (when I have some) when they take my keys away lol.

i got a two wheel drive. it always gets stuck. or should i say I always get it stuck. had to dig myself out down on the north rim in some sand in a wash. had some help from a four wheeler on the east shore of the overton arm of lake mead. another time in parashant after hydroplaning on mud for about four miles i finally lost control and ended up to my axle in mud on the side of the road. i had gotten myself jacked up and filled in the hole with brush and was about to get out when an old wagoneer all lifted and locked came by. six hours later. he pulled me out and i hydroplanned out of there my throat in my heart the whole way back to civilization. all in all, i have come to believe that if i had a locked rear end in any of these situations i would never have gotten stuck. i would like to test out this theory. what do you think 91toyota?

I think you need a locker. Also, tires make a BIG difference too. All-terrains stand for all terrains. Meaning they suck everywhere

yeah. the tires i had before were 205s and would spin out on wet pavement. last week i went up three sizes and it has made a huge difference. i went with some yokohamas cause my truck is about 95/5. on/off road. i was gonna get the revos but i didnt. 100 dollar price difference. i am thinking maybe i should have. ive seen a lot of threads on here talking about gas mileage and wear and noise and all that. but at the size tire im using is it even that big of an issue?

No...shouldn't be a big issue. Its really not that big of a difference. It will make your odo and speedo off a tad. Maybe hurting your gas mileage...not sure on that though?

I have 225/70-r14's and they spin effortlessly on wet pavement. I look like an idiot getting it sideways in the middle of the intersection. LOL

I am trying to get info on the v6 motor mount locations on the frame, if it is the same between v6 and 4 cyl trucks, then the brackets will work on the v6 trucks too.

The truck is fianally running, I went for a ride last week (in the rain!!), the truck made 405 HP at 18 psi boost on pump gas!!, not bad at all. With C16 and 25-30 psi it should do 550-600, I cant wait. I will take some more pics and post them up here.
