probably because ppl just add a 2" lift to the back to accommodate for the factory sag

donny's got it. Before the lift the sag on this thing was just about riding the back tire. It looks even typically. This is parked on a pretty steep incline, that might be giving it the appearance of a little read end sag. Keep in mind, its only a 2" lift.

Brewster. I know a lot of folks say the 3.0 V-6 is the worst engine Toyota has made (as opposed to the 22R/22RE/3.4V6) but I've had nothing but luck with the 3.0. It is pretty underpowered, but since I use the truck as a commuter, all I do is get it to 55 and cruise. I'll hit 20+mpg in the summer. If you get 33's she'll have enough torque to get you by on the trail, but don't expect her to be a dragster on the street. The factory sound system is TERRIBLE. You'll need new everything if you really want good sound, head unit, all speakers...

I love this truck. I have a '98 too and I just keep driving this one...

Yeah, the 2nd Generation had a 3.0 liter V-6 3ZE something or other. For the 3rd generation the switched to a 3.4L V-6. The 2nd Generation 3.0s all had a head gasket recall which Toyota fixed for free for years and years. You might want to ask who you are buying from to make sure that the head gasket has been replaced. (99% chance it has if its still alive at this point). My Toyota mechanic claims that even the 3.0 V6 should last 250-300K with regular maintenance. I'm at 200,500 right now adding 72 miles a day. It burns a little oil, but not even enough to have to add any between oil changes. I also see a very very slow power steering fluid leak, a drop or two a week. Not worth fixing...

I think your seeing the higher fender cuts up front. Measure where the green lines are to see how much of a lean if any.
