Pros 

-Includes 37" Super swamper Tires.
-Extreamly Detailed.
-Huge selcetion of parts.
-Chrome is very clean and neat.
-Superb detail suspension and drive-train.
-Amazing fit.
-Body and Suspension lift.
-Very good exterior details, such as turn signals, mirrors, and fog lights. The lights are also molded to have a lens texture.
-Only Single cab toyota of these years I could find.
-Opening tailgate.
-22R 4-cylinder Motor.
-Detailed IFS.
-Exceptional Decals.
-Very well-fitting and cleanly molded windows.

Cons 

-Hard to acquire and can be expensive to import. (I was lucky to find it at an R/C store Online)
-No opening hood. It has 1/2 of the engine visible from the bottom, so it has no real effect on the finish model, other than you cant open the hood.
-One choice of rims.
-Has parts that also go to the lowrider version so you must be careful to use the correct parts.
-Driver sits on the right. (To be expected from Japan though)

Comments 

This was a 100% Pleasure to build. It fit better than any American brand and gives you many options. The hood was a disappointment because it doesn't open, but the accuracy and details made up for that. I would recommend this to all. It is an awesome lifted truck. It is hard to find any lifted trucks that are made exceptionally well. This is a huge exception. This combines the accuracy of Japanese Brands with the American Love for a good Lifted Mudder.
