I'm new to the forum but I thought now would be a good time to post my first post. I am trading my 1985 Cherokee Chief for a 1980 Hilux (I was told they were still called Hilux in the 80's but I'm not sure). I get to pick up the truck today!!!!! Its not running right now but I'm going to get AAA to pick it up and take it somewhere I can work on it. I think it just needs a little tlc and elbow greese before this thing is truely a monster
Well without further adieu

 

nice rig! and welcome to the site!

 

Thanks. I'm sure you will be hearing from me a lot!

 

I <3 that color yota...

And yes, Welcome

 

Thanks! I think I may repaint it though, but I am thinking about keeping it that yellow color.

 

Shoot, Is that the beigh color, Or actual yellow color..?

 

my buddy has a truck that looks just like that... well it started life like that... it now looks like this

 

Its that yellow color but its been faded out..... and the guy giving it to me took the picture but I'll get some real good ones up later today when it gets here

 

cool truck, welcome, you are gonna love this place, check out the faqs and noob section it helped me out so much.

 

welcome, that truck looks good, and i see lots o' potential

 

Thanks guys!!! I'm still very new at the whole 4x4 thing! I have a 1986 Toyota Celica GT-S that I helped my dad rebuild and thats my baby, now I can't WAIT to start on this truck!

 

Ahh, Well I meant I <3 the beigh color, But the yellow is a sweet color as well..

Should be a great rig, im sure you will love it...

 

I'm sure I will too! Like I said before, I'll get some good pics up later today

 

Those are the best looking Toyota Pick-ups in my opinion. i was looking for one but then the LC came along and i can't say no to an LC FJ60

 

Yeah I love FJs! I really want a 1970's FJ70!!!

 

Very Cool. Another first gen, especially a round eye is always welcome (headlights)

Cool truck, you're goona love it. I have an 81, had it for 20 years and its been through a pile of transformations. I'll never sell it. My son has already claimed it when he is old enough. Have fun.

 

Thanks. I wound up not being able to get it today because the POS Cherokee that we were trading it for wouldn't start so we had to order a part for it but it should be in tomorrow. I hope!!

 

Cherokee...? Is that one of those Just Empty Every Pocket's

 

The round eye toyota 4x4s are the coolest looking toyota truck in my opinion!!
