thats a pretty awesome dad to give you a 1st generation yota

you dont have to have lots of $$  to lift a yota,  so where are you located??   post up some pics and tell everybody ,   the only dumb question on the Marlin BB is the one you dont ask

you don't need much lift on the early ones, 33s will pretty much fit stock(rub a bit)

the only way you could make a '79-83 better is to get some better springs and better steering.  well, and a decent tranny, but the L52 ain't too bad.  if your fronts aren't too shot, go ahead and wheel it and get a feel for her, she'll tell you what you need to do to improve :beerchug:

You won't be disapointed.  First Gen's all the way.  I  bought my 82 last winter and love it.  Post some pics and make sure you thank your dad again, the gift that keeps taking. :greengrin:
