I am thinking of buying a Toyota 4WD mini-pickup (used) and would appreciate
hearing from anyone out there who owns one or has had any experience
(good or bad) with one.  My major concern is the reported lack of
power--is it really that bad?  Basically I am looking for something that
will get me where I want to go in the winter, in style. 
     If I get one, I was also considering putting in a lift kit and
some larger tires (I am a hot rodder at heart, and I can't stand to own
anything that is stock).  Can the stock engine handle the extra weight of the
tires?  I have seen hop-up kits that include headers, new carb/intake, 
etc. for the engine that would help, and I would also like to hear from
people who have gone that route.

  ...Musclecars in the summer, 4WD in the winter...
