I'm going to go back in time about 5 years here, but I'll let everyone know in advance that it's been sitting untouched on the lift for 2 years. Don't get your hopes up for updates
I bought this in the fall of 2015 from a military kid. It wasn't running, and he was done spending money on it. It came up from California, and had new all-pro suspension under it. The dude he bought it from had a folder of receipts for all of the work that had been done over the last 10 years. 4.10s in the diffs, new in the box 5.29s and ARB's in the back. Got it for 4K, which is a steal here.
So it had a new ecm. I did a little troubleshooting and found that it was fried, and that a sensor (I can't for the life of me remember which one, under the intake) was shorted to ground. Used ecm out of a celica that my friend had laying around and it was up and running!
I grabbed a TG winch plate and bent up some form of front end protection. Warn M8000 stolen off another project and some 37" iroks on the cheap from a friend and I was good to go.
I put a HP front diff in and an IFS rear axle, both with 5.29s and ARB's
