To bad you didn't live near me. I just sold 4 of those with decent tires for 150 bucks.

Truck is looking better. I had no faith when you first posted it.

Looks better. You need new bumpers, and maybe you could take off some of that badly rusted stuff, and sandblast em, and coat it with some herculiner, or Rhino line it. Maybe take the bed, and cab off one day to see what the top of the frame looks like, and maybe use that to your advantage, and sand blast the frame, and then under coat, or herculine it to stop the rust. If even 80% of those underbody components(IE, axles, frame, suspension, etc) are salvageable, you should remove the rust on them, and put some sort of protection on them. If you really watch your budget, you may just make your truck's value equal or greater than the amount of money you have spent on it.

Keep up the good work. Good luck!!!

yea ima do all that this summer when i paint the body and it will deff be worth more that ive put in it ivew only put $300 into it including getting the truck and it drivable how it is its gunna be sweet when its done then i wanna sell it and get a 4runner because i like to have somw friends with me when i go wheeling and i dont need it to transport anything but ill keep it for awhile

stormin94

BTW, does the truck have a clean title?

93rustedyota

Jeenyus04

man you did all that removing of ifs just to put more back in? Shoulda SAS'ed it. But good work! I guess save the SAS for the 4runner

93rustedyota

i didnt take much of it out otherwise i would have i only took out the top and bottom a arms im thinking about sas in the future but just trying to get it runing good and driviable and clean up all the rust then ill do some offroad mods im taking the bed off soon to clean up some frame and im putting in a 2inch body lift thats it for now i think the runners way to far away to think about now but i might end up sasing it

It'll help your resale value if you do end up selling it.

93rustedyota
