How's the frame and ball joints? Is it lifted?
It doesn't appear to have a sun roof on pics shown?
Thanks in advance, it is a nice looking truck!

Hello from Carmel!
Thanks to all the good write ups here and Timmy's videos, I replaced the LBJs, inner and outer tie rod ends on March 29 2018 @ 154k miles. LBJs and outer tie rod ends where OEM Toyota from Camel back Toyota. Inners were not available for purchase from Toyota without getting the rack, so I got the high end from Napa. That's what several people here suggested.
The frame is in pretty good shape. No rust holes or soft spots. It has surface rust, like any vehicle in the Midwest, but it's solid. Twice I got on the main parts of the frame with a wire wheel and took some rust converter to it, then sprayed it black to keep it as protected as possible.
No lift. When I got it, it had the original suspension with a mega saggy rear. I replaced it all with the 99 talls and new KYB shocks. I'm November of 2019 I got new tires and got slightly larger than stock. They're 265/75/16. They've got less than 4K miles on them. Between the 99 talls and the bigger tires, it gives it a more aggressive look without having to do a lot of other mods. It was my DD with dreams of going on road trips and doing some light off roading with it, but that never happened.
Correct, no sun roof
