Cool 1988 Toyota xtra cab thread

This is my first toyota, I've owned it for about half a year now and decided to make a thread for it. It's a 1988 xtra cab, 22re, 5spd, top shift t-case, lifted, sas, 35's... It has 210k miles but is still running strong. It's my daily driver right now, I might change that. Here's some pics and poser shots.

A future list of little mods:

-Rear Locker
-Chevy 63's out back
-Bed bob/flat bed?
-New bumpers, less redneck mudflap rear bumper setup
-High steer
-Dual t-cases someday

I appreciate any opinions or suggestions. And criticism if you have a better solution
I'll post pics and progress.. keep on wheelin!

yeah i walked the plank. I want to post and actually talk about my vehicle. Not have people put on their hard faces just because they're on pirate. I guess this thread would be more appropriate on pirate if i was doing my own 4 link setup, exo cage, etc... Even if it's mostly the same users on this board, if those same people will be human over here, then sure I'll post here.

Here's a final look with the swap and bob done. She sits about an inch lower in the rear now, but the flex, stability, and control are great. Ride quality is a little better now, but I especially like being able to keep all four tires on the ground through those sketchy spots and keep that traction on the ground... And needless to say, a buddy and I accomplished some good old fashioned wheelin'

How are you liking the 63's ? My 63's 2 springs are taken out and it rides like a cadillac. I drive my truck everyday and around town. No problems with it being too soft, it's perfect.

I can send you pics of my setup if u want.
