My first!! Toyota 4x4

I’ve read where shocks cause this, definitely going to check the front end out before throwing the new pategonias on.

Clean truck! The 31's are the perfect size for good balance of fuel economy, ground and wheel-well clearance and looks. The stock on some trucks (226's?) make them look like the knock-kneed LR Discovery or Ford Explorers 
Sometimes I see vehicles where wheels bounce on the freeway. That's probably what happens. Either poor wheel balancing or bad shocks that do not dampen the movement of the suspension anymore.
Strongly recommend that you religiously have your wheels balanced and rotated because when chopping gets too bad on one tire, shop would refuse to reinstall it for liability reasons,

Sorry if anybody has already mentioned any of this - I didn't take the time to read the entire thread.
And congratulations to the original poster, by the way! You can't go wrong with one of these trucks. That's why I drive one. I have to admit that I'm a bit of a purist for the 1979-1983 "first gen" trucks, but all of them are great...

The ADD system was introduced in 1989. From 1984 to 1988 Toyota used as optional equipment the (absolutely dreadful) automatic hubs that were basically a manual hub with an automatic mechanism to lock and unlock. Sounds great on paper, but in the real world not so much. If you move one of these trucks 2 and 1/4 axle rotations backwards, the hubs unlock and you're out of 4WD - a potential nightmare on a trail.

Hey guys my truck has one of those plastic bed liners in it and I notice it leaks water somewhere up front into the bed so I find myself always having to Wipe it dry and wedge it up with a rock or something so air can get underneath to dry everything. So I need a bed cover, on the cheap. I just want something that will keep water out of the bed. Really sucks that I’ll have to remove my bed box but I can have water getting in there and destroying my bed. Anyone know of a tonneau cover that fits these trucks correctly??

One more thing I forgot in my last message. There are a few sellers on ebay selling genuine Toyota floor mats for the 89-95 pickup, most sellers are selling them at $85 bucks up to and over 100 per set. I found that one seller had them at 51 and I grabbed a set, very nice they have the Toyota emblem on them and fit perfectly.
