It pains me to do this, but I have to put my Toyota up for sale due to issues at home. I bought the thing a few years ago from a buddy in Eugene that had the truck built by English Racing, a shop in Camas, WA. The shop is owned by some Mitsubishi buddies of mine that also do a lot of wheeling. They primarily work on Mitsu drag cars and Toyotas/Jeeps. My buddy wasn't able to wheel the truck as much as he though he'd be able to so he sold it to me when I showed interest. I have since only put about 6000 miles on it. The motor has an audible tick once fully warmed up that I haven't been able to figure out, but it's been this way for the last 4000 miles through lots of wheeling and trips to both Seattle and Portland. It burns zero oil. Even with the 37's the truck pulls steep grades at 70mph in 4th gear, and usually averages about 17-18mpg to boot.

3inch Body lift (to clear the motor...this is also how the xfer cases, exhaust, fuel tank, and driveshaft carrier bearings were lifted to create an almost flat underbelly)
Mitsubishi stereo with auxiliary input
Nice molded floormats
Truck is extremely clean. Cleaner than any wheeling rig should be. I actually sideswiped a tree a couple winters ago on an outing and turned it into insurance and had them fix it. Valley Autobody did the work. Installed a factory new cab corner as well as fixed the whole side of the bed and smoothed out the bob-job on both sides and repainted all body work. The rest of the truck was then wetsanded and buffed which practically turned the damn thing into a cream puff showtruck. I've been back up in the hills only once since the bodywork and had to turn around due to a blown front Lockright. It now has a brand new Detroit in the front that I haven't even been able to try out.
The truck is built right and wheels great.
