Hey guys.
I've recently picked up a 1998 Toyota Tacoma. I was kinda forced into buying this thing lol.. long story short, I like it. As a kid I'd always wanted a Tacoma. Never could afford one after Toyota did the recall tho.
I found this little Tacoma in Ripley WV.
1998 Tacoma
2.7 engine
5spd tranny
4wd
140,000 miles
3" body lift
Bald 31" tires
After market Pacer Wheels
Everything else is stock
This truck is really nice on the inside. No stains or tears anywhere.
This little truck has been on its side before tho. Driver side has a few small fixable dents. Nothing major. Right after I got the truck I took it to the local dealer and it Aced the frame test
I haven't got any pics yet but stay tuned. Ill post them.

This is the only pic I have. This pic was taken by the previous owner before it was flopped on its side and had the 33's on it. There's not much of a change in this pic and thd looks of the truck now.

Here's a lil pic I snapped today. I found a set of ole 32" tires to replace my bald 31's. As soon as I get time ill snap some good pics

Okay. I took time out to snap some pics of the truck. I haven't done anything to this truck other then replace the driver front fender and bald 31" tires.
You can see the damage in these pics
Look what a pretty WV taco frame

Okay for plans..... lol this is a wish list st the moment.
I was going to remove the 3" body lift. But I kinda like it. Everything is done right. Shifters were extended, and everything was relocated. So ima leave it.
A 3" lift will be added along with new 33" tires.
Possibly the 2.7 power package from LCE
Gears! I have plenty of power but ive got to replace these 3.58's with at least 4.10's.
Bumpers front and rear along with sliders
Of course fix my body damage. I found a new bed for 250.00 on FB. ima go look at it this evening.
That's about it for now. I'm sure more will come later on.

I ordered a strut spacer and AAL lift kit for my Taco. Once its installed ill post some pics. Its suppose to be here friday. Im already rockin a 3" body lift so I dont want much more lift that's why Ive chosen this budget kit.

My lift came in friday so I installed it friday.
I tried my flex today.. I geuss its pretty good for what it is.. if I want more then I gotta go with a total chaos upper a-arm and a coil over
Crazy rear flex
4-28-14
Ima setting at the Tire shop.. I decided to go with 33\12.50 Chaparral MT's. Ive never ran this tire before. After reading reviews and seeing them in person I wanted them. One good thing I like is they measure out to 34.3 inches tall when mounted on my 8" Rim.
I also bought me a Bed Cap today for $100.00 bucks. Its practically the same color as my truck. Included all hardware too.
So needless to say I spent $880.00 bucks on 4 news tires and a ARE brand topper. I will upload some pics in a bit.. I'm still waiting to have my tires installed.
