Ok...finally I am putting pictures of my truck on here. I bought it about 6,000 miles ago (a few months). It's an '88, 22R-E. Pretty much the only mod so far is obvious (paint). If anyone remembers my earlier post about my DIY soft top, I haven't given up. I have the fabric sitting in my closet waiting until I get back from Mexico (check out http://www.yelapa.info , or http://www.palapainyelapa.com )in August. I will then ( I promise) begin work on the top. Other than the top, I have to put all other projects on hold (DIY bumper/tire carrier, new tires, new rear springs, shocks, steelies, a CD player, Tuffy security box, fiberglass fenders all around due to too much rust http://www.toyotafiberglass.com , etc,etc) for some later time as I believe my motor is almost in need of a top end rebuild (only 119K miles, what a shame!). I will have planty of questions on that soon (after Mexico) as I will be doing the work myself (and I have no idea what I'm doing). Apart from my truck, I weld (sculptures, bicycles, car parts, stuff for friends, BBQ pits, etc.), ride bicycles (alot), and go to school (University of Houston, metal sculpture major). Ok that's it for now, thanks for looking, here are some pictures......
And here's one of my most recent sculptures (and me) (I know it doesen't fit, I just like it)....

Hey-why do people block out their license plates in their pictures? You do realize that thousands of people (depending on where you live) a day can see your plates as you drive around the streets. Ok

Woah! do I seriously have 29 posts already?! Seems like only yesterday....

Here is my truck today. It's a little different. The motor now has an engnbldr head and timing chain kit, The exterior changes are probably obvious (homemade soft top, roof racks, bumpers, sweet white steelies). Here's a link to my soft top buildup thread: https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f88/...der-way-92914/
