Post up on SyTy.net and someone local will take a look at it for you. Never buy one of these trucks without someone looking at it. I know there are a few Indiana members on there. It looks pretty good except for those awful wheels, but he said he has the stockers still. Even if he didn't I actually have a set of stock wheels in my shed.
I'll post up tonite but I'm not sure on what subforum. Any idea?

Just ask in the general section, ask if anyone knows the truck and if someone would be willing to check it out for you. They track most syty's in the country, chances are they know the truck.

I think most everybody has already given you some good advice on these trucks. I've had my Sy for just over a year now and I absolutely love it! It's still a work in progress, so I can't wait to get her finished and running like I've always wanted one to run.
Definitely get on syty.net as that's where you will find any and everything you need to know about them.

Thank you! That's the biggest debate I have when it comes to my truck...whether I'm going to keep the wheels like this, or switch to something else. I'm happy with the way it looks now, but we'll see what the future brings once I get everything else done on it.

I used to have a Ty and all I can say is have an alarm, fuel cut, and steel collar around the column!
They are overpriced and small, somewhat unreliable. I'd like to get another one but everyone thinks they got gold. I would buy an s10 blazer/jimmy ditch the drivetrain and go turbo ls/4l80e and if I had too have the cladding I'd get repro. It wouldn't be original but it would **** on 98% of the typhoons out there. The marlboro Syclones are sick but just for collectors.

Any 4x4 cummins or duramax can launch on par if not better than a ty and have the drivetrain to take it and interior room.

I've had 2 Ty's and a Sy and never had anyone try to mess with it. Mostly because 95% of people don't know what the hell they are.
With that motor/trans and cladding combo you're looking at 8 grand (6k to buy and turbo an LS motor with a 4l80, and another 2K to get all the cladding). And the Sonoma is still gonna be rwd so it'll get wrecked at a stoplight. Did you ever take the propshaft out of your Ty and just drive it rwd? They are useless, they just spin the tires.
And if you are arguing that you could build a truck that would be faster than a SyTy, well, no **** sherlock. I could build a car faster than a Ferrari but that really isn't the point now is it?

I would love to find a syclone! I wish one popped up close to me so I could see it in person. It's getting close to replacing the "V" time! I did go look at a Lexus IS-F last Saturday. That damn car was sweet! My wife and daughter loved it! My wife likes the fact that it's an (8 speed) automatic.

Was just at the dealership today and someone already turned their's in, only has 3k miles on it. I guess it was his g/f's and she got 7 tickets in 3 weeks so he took it away and got her a wrangler. Really nice, fully loaded and they're asking 30k for it.
