hey guys! time to start my build up thread. picked up my 1986 toyota pickup sr5 22re 5 speed late september and im already addicted to workin on her! always huntin down some more parts . anyways paid $2500 for her. body is incredibly strait, and has not a lick of rust! undercarriage is all coated. It has 250k on the frame. the motor was supposedly new but shes been burnin oil so new motor is in the cards. my plans are as follows:
1. sas on 33s.(when funding allows)
2. chevy 63'' leafs out rear
3. billstein or fox shox front and read
4. working on a front tube bumper( 1 1/2'' dom round tube . headache rack and full bed rails are also in the workings right now( 2''x2''x1/8'' for the rack)
5. eventually a full on flat bed.
6. motor rebuild/ swap this spring.(considering a 3rz.)
7. ? (will find somethin im sure!)

now on to the pics!

hillbilly deluxe

Thanks guys. Im lovin tje truck more and more every day. And im thinkin an o.d green paint job. What you guys think? Still tryin to decide on color.

I would prefer a hunter blue but if if has to be green mopar has a deep green that looks like black until the sun hits it

86toyotaprerunner14

Your thinking of something like this

scuba

That color would be referred to as Olive Drab.

hillbilly deluxe

that mopar deep green sounds interesting. i could dig that.
