Jay, Right now I am without a specific plan. There's no doubt I'll get it all back together. But somehow I've got to make it better in spite of this adversity.

Just not sure where this will lead me....

 

Glad to hear everyone is okay. Things can be rebuilt/replaced.

 

Dude If that was my kid.. He wouldn't be seein straight for a few days, that was one of my favorite build ups on this site.. Fix it dude..

 

lol. Go browse through a Mini Truckin Magazine at the store (that way its free cuz I know you wont buy one) then you will see some clean Mini Trucks.

Don't get me wrong that is a clean truck and one I would be VERY proud to own. But it is amazing how much effort these guys put into them to make every single peice on the truck their own.

Targetnut - That is a beautiful truck and has always been one of my favorites. (I think I've seen it on yotascene.com once or twice) Good luck and I hope she is back on the road soon and better than ever.

 

i dont see why you would be mad at the kid. yea he wrecked the truck but its not like he stole it and totaled it. he was doing as he was told and lost control. its a honest mistake, if you can even call it a mistake

 

I can see "totally" how all that damaged happened.
I wonder if a skid plate would've helped?

Well there ya go: Downey lift kit, Sway-away bars set for no lift, and a reinforced skid plate...? Maybe...?
or maybe don't go down that road when it's cold?

And you were so close to getting the MS dialed in and now you can't drive it to finish the tuning.

If you want to, I'll dial it in on my 91. Just ship it down here.

 

Hmmm... looks like someone needs to scrub the undercarriage...

 

I thought the damage was bad when the front of my truck fell off its jackstands and the driver side rocker panel landed right on a jackstand...but seeing this...

 

my god dude im so sorry to see this man and we all know a lil to well she will come back with something better and faster now and to tell you the truth id still take your truck cause i love the color its not my grabber green but i love the orange damn man im sorry

 

Dang that sucks! I didn't realize it was sitting on the guardrail in the first pic.

Rob

 

Haha, im seeing forced induction! dooo it

 

Ultimately, I'd sure like to go there.

Unfortunately, Because I'd have to build a whole new engine, That's just not in the picture at this time.

Would sure be nice though!

The claims adjuster came to inspect the damage this morning. The truck will be totaled. I'm going to buy it back and fix it though.

Some of the upgrades I'm considering:
I'm leaning towards a fuel cell,
polyurethane bushings,
Brake mods,
rack and pinion steering,

I just can't focus.

Maybe this weekend while I'm working on the suspension It'll come to me

Like divine inspiration

 

So its been a month. Hows it comin?

 

I'm curious how his build is coming. I sure hope he fixed it!

 

X2. Old post or not that is (was) one of the cleanest trucks ever.

 

This thread proves a Toyota will never die....it just takes a break

Keep up the rebuild!
