I'm new to the TLC world, one was just introduced to the family last week. It's a nice looking 94, 120 on the odometer and the truck looks brand new. It's actually my girlfriends truck, she has learned the value of a good cruiser in Kenya, she is an archaelogist/ anthropoligist and a quality truck is a must have. They have a 40 and a 60 over there, so now we have an 80 stateside. I must say that I love this truck. There seem to be only a few little problems I don't see anything big. The rear hatch lift shocks are useless, the truck came with a set of vise grips as a work around, but this isn't really pracitcal as she really cant reach the hatch when it's opened. If the removes the grips, the hatch will fall. I picked up a set from Advance auto, but they aren't right. They don't have the brackets, and the old ones seem integral to the lifts, unless they are supposed to be drilled out. Maybe a trip to the yota dealer. I smelled oil (the leaking type burning off of something) for a few days. This wasn't there when I looked at the truck several times before, the I noticed the Jiffy Lube sticker on the windshield. The dude had the oil changed on the delivery day and the dummy at jiffy lube must have just let the oil from the filter go everywhere. Is there a decent filter relocater kit availabe? Other than that, the truck kicks ass, I may have to get me one too, although I'm more of a classic muscle car type, so maybe a 40/45 with a wicked sbc conversion.
