Just be smart about it.
A lot of people, including me a few years back, would jump right in and mod the heck out of it only to find it really needed a new alternator, battery, etc...
I would focus your immediate funds on taking care of any necessary maintenance, and necessary doesn't mean what does it need RIGHT NOW.
Think about what it will need in the future so you can plan for it.
Better to be preventative than trying to solve a bigger problem later on.
Either way, sweet truck - keep this one alive and healthy for us though, okay?

Ill start where I can replying to Q's, I dont feel like quoting all those. Umm, Toyota 1, Those were my first thoughts, But Then I remember my mom sayin the PO said the rear shocks were shot..It likes to hop...lol. Okie and Scrunner, The White wheels didnt clear the front brakes cause backspacing. Sucks cause I spent all that time...But whatever. Fink, The BFG's were off my old rig, They have like 2000 miles on them and I wasnt gonna let them go with the 91, as of 10 this morning the Bfg's were on the factory 3 spoke alloys thanks to discount tire...And thanks for the advice, Ill be smart about it. Yoder and Skullyota, Lolz, The 2.7 is the shiznittle 
. And BRIAN, Please dont jinx it 
Hooligan, Superstition, Anza Borego, March 7th and 8th 96Red, I believe so too, Im all for the manual hubs, much rather have those then stupid add, although I already have that, just didnt need it twice FIRST DAY IMPRESSIONS: I Love it, Handles great, corners, turns all that good stuff, the Power steering is no joke, lol. The 2.7 provides for much better driving conditions compared to the ol' 22re. I'm honestly in love already, Its such a great truck, Feels a bit small inside but it has that 4wd prowess that I <3. Um, What else to say...I really dont know...Its great

Ill be around budd, No worries !! One thing I don't like about 5 speed Tacos is the height of the shifter. My roommate has a '96 Taco 5spd and it feels so weird driving it because I have to actually reach down to shift. The shifter on the 3rd gen trucks just felt closer/taller than the Taco's. But hm...
) im kinda close, So its not bad, It does feel a little weird and I know what ya mean, But its not bad Now that you've crossed over to the darkside, you will enjoy not having constant problems with your rig.

Exactly why I wanted something newer, I need something I can drive mod and wheel on a daily basis, My 91 was always out once a month for stupid crap. I feel with 98k I have a longggg time (knock on wood) Thanks for the congrats man !! And everyone for that matter !!
