i say dont worry about going fast, its a truck. You start messing with it (turbo) its going to break. youve got a supra, make that fast. Do a full exhaust, cam and a head job, youll be laughing. lift it 3", throw a locker in the rear, geta winch, and well youve got the tires. So do that and youll go anywear. If want to do more and youve got IFS, go buy a solid axle and to the SAS. Done, off to the trails and youll still be reliable
some good information everyone! 
jeff, i've already stumbled across www.surpacharged.com. i'm still toying with the idea of turbocharging my 22re. (22re->t) haha. but, i know a whole lot about 7mgte's, and i know they're reliable. i'm not sure what would be the best option, ya know? it definatly has to be reliable. i'm not planning on flogging the crap out of it.
i came across a few good posts over on www.wildyoats.com about a guy that has a 4runner with a 7mgte, and he loves it. i suppose this is what happens when you become fascinated with turbos and how they work. you want to turbo everything.
aaron, that thing is badass! i actually have one of those pics saved to my computer i think.
another thing- eventually i want to get into custom fabrication and whatnot, welding, etc... i want to be able to put any motor in any car, and i think this might be a good place to start, ya know?
i need to decide before spring time whether it's keep the 22re N/A with the p/p head, 1mm OS valves, cam, and full exhaust, or swap in a different motor, or turbo the 22re.
dammit. i really need to figure out what to do. i want "quick" on the street, and good offroad. decisions... decisions... dammit!

7mge->t would get you more of that torque that you would want, and you could probably piece most of a NA-T conversion from what you have around.
for the time being, i'm seriously toying with the idea of:
22re, P&P head, 1mm OS valves, mild cam, header back exhaust, and custom intake. perhaps a few more tricks that i have yet to figure out. i'd like to have about 200rwhp.
superchargers are pretty badass, though.

i think superchargers would be a better application for offroading than turbos.. just my opinion though
