... and am wondering what things to look for!
Basically I have an 86 4x4, and know a s***ton about the first/second/third gen pickups, but am now looking for a 2000+ Tacoma for a friend.
What are some problems/maintenance/things that I should be looking for with these trucks?
I heard that there is IFS service that needs to be done around.. 100k miles? Also, when someone mentions lift on their truck, assuming the IFS is also lifted, is it similar to the torsion bar IFS where lifting the suspension significantly weakens it overall? I know the suspension is a completely different system, so maybe there is a better way that it is done with those.
Also, what gen are we on now? 6th or 5th? Around 2000 there were some styling changes, does that constitute a new generation?
