Yo!!! Taco freaks, I own an 85 SFS toy truck. I'm going to sell my truck, but going to buy a 95-97 Taco truck. Plan to make future upgrades such as swapping the front axle on the Taco truck. Here's the question (want to hear from someone who has done a front axle swap to a soild): How does it handle on the road as a daily driver and off road? Can it compare to the early toy trucks when going off road?
Also, can someone give me some info...The reason I want a 95-95 taco is because I want a taco truck with NO ABS brakes (Hear the ABS is no good to off road) and NO stock TRD switch locker which I hear only engage in low 4x4 only and must have the 3.4 motor. What year taco do I need to look for?
ANY info would be great!!!

Try checking out TTORA if you haven't already. Huge database for Tacomas, and theres even a seperate forum on there for SAS'd rigs.

I've got a '96 reg. cab Tacoma, 2.7L . No ABS, power options, e-locker, etc.. keeps the truck pretty simple. The only factory options it has is a/c, and manual hubs. For me, its provided a great platform to start from.
