Looking to fly out and pick up a 40th anniversary edition. Quick question on the front grill; did the 1997 version have only the toyota symbol on the front grille or did they also make the front grille with ‘Toyota’ spelt out?

Im going to run these headlights for a while but keep the OEM as backup. But I'll keep those upgrades in mind! If I had more confidence in my painting skills I might have tried to repaint it. But I do like the liner, now I just have to see how it holds up. Still have to sandblast and repaint...

I'll admit, im not completely sold on the lights and I'll be keeping the OEM. As far as them coming from ebay, where else can you find aftermarket lights? After searching around it looks like there is only one overseas manufacturer thats actually producing them. I don't regret the liner...

I purchased the headlights and tail lights on ebay. Wouldn't recommend buying them there. One tail light was damaged and they sent two left side sets of headlight trim and no right side set

Update: Liner went on good overall. i was short by about 2 liters so the roof isn't finished. And theres a few small light areas that need to be touched up. Tomorrow the bumpers and fenders will get black liner applied. Im happy with the results over all. I'm not much of a painter and this...

I've never used that before. Does it have any negative effects on the engine at all?

I haven't. Person I purchased it from said they were told by a mechanic it was rings

It's going to get some baselining done this weekend. I am going to bedline it. Planning on buying a cabin in northern minnesota that is on a lake but only accessible by state forest trails or boat. Engine is good but it burns a LOT of oil. Surprisingly it doesn't leak that much though...

Thank you guys, these both will help out a lot tomorrow!

I know Im going to break some hearts with this post but i decided to go ahead with lining the truck. Black is my favorite color on vehicles but more for sports cars. It's just too much to keep it looking good for this kind of vehicle. That and I personally like the look and durability of...

Damnit. Now you've guys got me second guessing my decision. The rust spots are nearly all on the tailgate and rear window area, maybe 10 of them. The scratches are on the rear drivers side door and one right across the gas cover. I'll have to buy a passenger side door and have that painted to...

I live in that area now but grew up in northern MN. Unfortunately the paint has some deep scratches here and there along with some pea sized rust bubbles that need to be taken care of. If it had less miles I'd consider a new paint job but with this many miles I think Raptor line is probably...

I didn't even realize I was still a member here until I went to post this haha. Yeah, when I saw it for sale i was excited. Only about 2 hours from where I live. Had my mother give me a ride up there, the whole time having to hear that 315k miles is too many and she couldn't understand how...

It is locked and a collectors edition. I plan to have the engine rebuilt soon. It runs good overall but with the mileage I think it would be better to do it sooner than wait for it to be needed.

The wheel bearings and tie rods will be the first to be replaced. Brakes are ok, rear needs new rotors and pads. Cooling was worked on prior to purchase. Suspension seems good for now except the tie rods, but the bushings should be done too. Any suggestions on tie rods and bushings? Paint...
