I recently purchased a 1996 T100 extended cab 4x4 5 speed that I am going to use as my daily driver. I have it torn apart in my garage at this time. Tranny is out and just received the new Aisin clutch/pressure plate. I partially dropped front axle to replace oil pan due to rust. Cracked clutch pedal bracket is being fixed and firewall reinforcement being done. Bed is off, so I can clean up the rear frame and apply Chassis Saver to entire frame.. While bed is off, I am going to add an extra leaf spring to each side. Body in very good condition. Frame is in great condition as best I can see. Interior is in great condition also. Truck has 145,000 miles with 3.4L. I have 2 weeks to finish putting this back together and I am very eager to start driving it!

 

Presently working on replacing brake/fuel lines. I have already added an extra leaf spring to the rear with new u bolts. Frame to be wire brushed tomorrow and then brushing on Chassis Saver. Fuel tank is off and in great condition! Having fun figuring it out.

 

I purchased alloy rims from a 2007 Tacoma. Will the lug nuts from my current steel rims work on the alloy rims?

 

If the alloys from the 07 are like the rims from my old 05 Taco than you will need different lug nuts..pretty sure they were stepped with a thin washer built in.
