Thanks toyrunna, yeah it is really hard at this point in my life.
89silverpu- I dont have a welder, good place to weld, or the know how to do it, but I did find a shop that has done a SAS on a toyota before and will do mine for me, but trust me I will be there often taking pics!

Looks like you got yourself the perfect Lil' Yota. Don't sell her, ever.

sorry about your dad. I lost my dad 2 years ago and its been rough.
Keep up with the pictures. Your mod list is close to mine. I would love to see how things go with that truck. I grew up and own/work on a large cattle ranch and I can assure you if that truck was used on a ranch/farm it isnt in that bad of shape. 99.9% of the trucks we use on the ranch are so totally destroyed you can barely tell what manufacturer they are.

lol, thanks guys, I just wanted to try boggers once, to see if I would get them again, plus they wont last long cause I am going to drive it on the street!! This truck isnt my daily but I do want to drive it to work somedays!!
By the way I am going to get an ARB for the front diff, cause I want to still be able to drive 4wd without the whole front locked up.
I got my SAS in last night, 10 boxes, the UPS guy was pissed!! lol, I havent got my bumper yet but it should be here sometime early next week. And I get my harnesses next week too, so I will be able to drive the truck soon!!
By the way this truck has the same birthday as me!!! month day and year!!!

Only Pic of the rear bumper I took for some reason
Front bumper installed.....
Okay there is a story why my truck is on the trailer. I called ORS yesterday and they told me that the wiring harnesses that I ordered were discontinued. So I have an appointment tomorrow to have it looked at by one of thier techs. I did a hack job and I think I got some wires mixed up, and thats why the alternator isnt charging. So I am going to see what they think. I am also thinking about having them install a new engine for me, just a price, I know its going to be expensive, but I am just curious, cause the LCE motor I want is $5095.00 and I bet a dealership could install one for cheaper than that!!, but I dont know yet.

Oh and yeah Marlin packages his stuff up nice, it took me a good 10 minutes to open mine so I could paint them.

Don't be too sure 'bout the stealership installing an engine for cheaper than your LCE price. I purchased a new 3.0 v6 back in 2001 for my old Toyota longbed, and it cost me a tad over $8K.....

The back bumper was just under three hundred dollars to get lined. It makes sence because of all the waste that occurs, you know its not a flat part, so there is some waste.
And i hope its not that much to get an engine. The thing is, the $5k is just for the engine. I dont have an engine crane or a space to work on it, so I couldnt do it, plus im a perfectionist, so If I do it this truck wont be done for years!!! LOL

Looks nice so far. I think im gonna rhino line my Marlin rear bumper too that looks pretty sweet plus my rustoleum is chipping off.
Keep up the good work!
Toyospearo: you will love that bumper! I've had them on my last 2 trucks and couldn't be more happy
