Hi Welcome to YT

If you have a body lift you will see some form of spacer that is between the frame mounts and the body mounts, usually 2-3", about 2.5" in diameter (depending on the kit). SOmetimes people stack hockey pucks, hopefully that is not your case.

suspension: IFS-could be a bracket lift or balljoint spacers, sorry not a lot of experience with those. Rear could be blocks between the springs and axle tube, an add a leaf (AAL) or possibly a new spring pack with more arch or extended rear shackles.

Bedliner: junkyard, craigslist...I would recommend a spray in bed liner personally-I had a drop in liner in my old '97 tacoma, moisture got between the plastic and metal-caused some surface rust as the liner would shift.

-interior panel: there is classified section here https://www.yotatech.com/classifieds.php, you can post a wanted ad or check, folks are parting out trucks all the time. I have had pretty good luck buying parts from YT members.

Post up some pics of your new truck. A free service like photobucket.com works pretty good. Just copy and paste the [img] code into your posts.

If you are serious, I might want to take one, I'm looking at a 91 extended cab 22re 4x4 and might buy it, in has one of those cheep spray can bed liners and its all worn out and doesn't look that good, I live in southbury, CT 06488. How much would shipping be, if you are willing to ship it?

Wheel locks? Manual locking hubs? Most likely you have "ADD" ((not Attention Deficit Disorder)). ADD= Automatic Disconnecting Differential. The differential "disconnects" from the front drive shaft when you take it out of 4wd, just as it "connects" when you put it in. I'm not completely sure how it works, as I have never had it. There are some explanations on this site for sure. With ADD, the front drive axles (CV axles) always spin, regardless of whether you're in 4wd or not. That will typically cause you to get decreased MPG (maybe like 1-2 mpg). Don't worry about it though. ADD would be convenient at times.
What engine and tranny is it?



hm...a hippie with a lifted truck? What has this world come to?

man i was kinda jokin around on those bed liners, but if your're serious about it i'll check into a shipping price. i'd say you could pick one up around your area for cheaper than the shipping cost. but i was serious about the free price. i'll get back to you on that, 1stgen4runner
