Welcome to the board, I think that before choosing a lift you may want to choose the vehicle first. There are several great lifts on the market, it is just a matter of what you are willing to spend. Everything from the simple and economical spacers, to the expensive Sway-A-Way coil overs. Anyhow, keep watching the board, a lot of good information and even better people on here!

Welcome to the board! I am sure you will find all the info you need here and then some. Take into consideration what you'll do with your rig before you buy one. With a few mods a Runner will go anywhere a truck will! Good luck!

First of welcome to the board. I Must agree with BTOWN4RUNNER this is a fun place. I spent some time looking for information on the truck I'm gettin in a month (sig) and this is by far one of the best places to get information, opinions, and tech info.

thanks guys. im looking at this 1st gen runner now. the only problem i can see is that it has 240,000 miles.. 190000 on the engine. the guy wants like $3200.... seems a bit much to me. im also looking at a 96 tacoma with 125 on it. v6 5spd, but its a bit rusty. its at a dealer and they are asking 7,900 or something. yikes! i have already been reading up on some stuff here, already gotten a lot of ideas. thanks a lot guys.

Welcome aboard Rowan.
This forum is a cornicopia of knowledge and good people.
If your planning on adding any aftermarket clear lights, carbon fiber or wood dash kits, or looking for anything for your truck to clean it up, visit Jason Burtman at www.burtmanindustries.com I've had several dealings with him as have most of the owners on this forum, his products are top notch and his customer service is unbeatable.

Enjoy!
