New 99 coils and new Scoop Hood
It was a very exciting spring break and I finally got around to installing my new items 
I like the look of the 99 coils. It really feels like a 4wd truck. The install was pretty easy and the hardest part was finding the right tools. 
Overall I got about 2 inches of lift. I had 97 2wd coils. One thing I dont like though is that they sag in the rear under any small load 
. If anyone has a quick fix for this im open to ideas. Now the hood is probably one of the best aesthetic mods i've done next to my wheels 
. For those who are interested in doing the mod:
Hood $70 (aftermarket)
Paint $125
Bulge $70 (Northridge Toyota)
Mesh screen $10
The hood is aftermarket but its a great fit. I also decided to change the bug shield since the one I had was 9 years old. I stopped by autozone and luck me they had an EGR no drill in stock for $9
Up next paint my bumper black and some Sequoia cross drilled brembos
still havent had a chance to put on the indiglo guages
Now the pics
BEFORE COILS
AFTER COILS
SCOOP SHOT BEFORE BUG SHIELD (for those who are unsure whether it looks better with or without.
Put Bug Shield on = much better (In the two days I didnt have one, couple rock nicks on my hood
and a nice 4runner sport that parked beside me

nice!
if you want slightly stiffer, yet a better ride from the rear, then add some airlift 1000 bags to the rear coils. they're only about $90. you cut off three rings of the conical bumpstops (if you have them), install the bags, fill with about 5psi, and forget about them unless you carry a load. when you carry more stuff, just air them up more and they stiffen the ride. very nice to haul stuff around.

It squatted so easily, I thought for sure we had plenty if not TOO much tongue weight. It turns out I had to drive 45mph the whole way because we barely had 100lbs
Oh well, live and learn

I never carry anything except for groceries, so if it fixes the sag from that
