I have one. It's kind of chintzy. I think it's an aftermarket deal.

I think it only came on a few that came from Gulf States Toyota or something like that. I had the info and books for it...but dunno where they are.

If you call them up and give them the vin they are pretty cool and will give you another, or you can buy one.

I may have to do that. Thanks a bunch. :cheers:

If you are talking about the key fob thingy, I have one that is black and red with one single button on it. It's aftermarket.

Yes, that is what I have

I think it is a Toyota add on. Mine has the same one.

I think so.

Thinking about lifts

Trying to decide if I want to run 33s or 35s.
Well, I want to run the 35s, but I dont want to regear.
My 35s would be BFG Ats because it is my DD.

Also, I am trying to figure out which lift I want to go with. OME stuff is very popular, but I live 30 miles from Frankies (FOR) shop and his stuff looks great.

Decisions Decisions Decisions :hhmm:

The lift is a hard one. I haven't heard anyone complain that owns the FOR lift. Sounds solid and rides/flexes well from those that own it.

I honestly think the OME stuff rides pretty damn good too. I don't think you can go wrong with the big 3

Frankies, SLee or OME.

For now, I am going with the OME and I might change things later if my needs change.

I will know by the end of the weekend if my free BFG Ats are going to come through. If not, I am going to get the Cooper STTs like I have for my 40.

I will be posting pics up tomorrow.
Lift is getting put on in the morning and I pick up my tires in the afternoon.

I went with MTZs and I am getting fired up.

I also replaced my factory stereo with a Pioneer unit that had IPOD capability. I am very pleased with the unit and will post up pics of it as well.

Sounds like you are coming along. Show pics when you get the lift.

Wow! That is a nice two tone color. Looks like the PO really took good care of the rig. Nice find. Congrats!

Did you keep the factory speakers? Could you tell a difference in sound quality?
