About a week after I installed my lift, I was browsing through Craigslist on a Friday evening while not quite sober (as one does) and found a good deal on another 3rd gen. Went to go check it out the next day and ended up bringing it home.
1997 in Lavender Steel Metallic, with Moon Mist interior. SR5 with locker, only slight rust, 441k km and running great. Decided this was a keeper so now I get to swap everything (including my new lift) over to the new truck.
It came on dangerously old tires so the next day I picked up some newish tires on Hilux Surf wheels (I have a soft spot for tri-spokes).
I noticed a ticking sound when the engine was running. Tracked it down to an unplugged spark plug wire that was somehow still firing!
