    96 taco suspension

    Yeah, Astoria is the oldest American settlement west if the Rockies. If you make it here you need to include the Portway Tavern in your list of places to visit. It's the oldest drinking establishment out west. Complete with an outdoor fighting pit, the only real way to resolve your minor alcohol...

    96 taco suspension

    I'm the second owner of a 96 taco, standard cab, 2.7L four banger. I've had it since 2000. I've decided to go with a 3/2 lift kit with pro comp struts and shocks. Wondering if putting an add a leaf on the rear would be a good idea. I drive a lot of logging roads and back country routes as I live...
