Hey guys, new member here. I'm not new to Toyota (owned 3), but I purchased my first Pickup today!

'95 Base Package 4x2



Looking forward to learning about my Pickup on here.

Welcome to Yotatech, Matt(Aka- GotToyota?)

Nice lil PU.... you plan to put rims on it, build the motor/swap in a Vette LS1??????? Or keep her stock, do some maintenance???? In other words....... WUS'DA'PLAN, MON?

 

Welcome to Yotatech.

:wabbit2:

 

Beautiful truck! I love the 2wd. I would go baja personally. I hope you have the 22RE and the 5 speed, can't tell for sure on my phone here. Nicely done.

 

Thanks! Yeah it's the 22RE with the 5 speed, I'm loving it so far.

I've heard the red paint is known to get faded on these, I've bought some Meguiars Ultimate Compound and I'm going to buff it. I'm hoping this will bring back the shine and color to the paint.

 

I'm sure it will but these trucks weren't made to shine! So long as it's dry and rust free it looks good.

 

Na man buff it love it shine it and caress it!!!!

Mine was faded and I buffed it and now it loves me.

 

YES! My red is older still that yours, OP.... And was FAR more oxidized than yours when I got it.... Took some compound to it and a couple coats was... Shined up NICE! Well, lots better!>>>



DOOOOOOOOO ITTTTTTTTTTTTT! hahahaha.

 

Worked on the paint a bit tonight. Here's a comparison shot:

 

SEEEEE!?!?!?!?!? Hahaha. Wow, great job, man! Keep at it.. Just don't rub ALL the paint away down to the primer, k? hehe.. JK

 

That looks real good. In the first picture your truck looked kind of pink because of the faded paint.

Post up a picture once your done.

 

I'd your anythink like me you'll love it, i love mine, 22re auto. i got a 4x4 for wheeling, but i love just drive my little 2 digger to work and stuff, here she is:

 

X2, what's your plans!?

 

Alright dudes, just finished the whole front end.



Newer vs. older




The bed will have to wait until Monday, but I'm extremely happy with how it turned out!

As far as my plans go, it's to drive the heck out of it and take care of it!

 

Very nice, looks about like mine before and after, make sure to throw a nice good wax on after the buff. But it already looks happier

 

YES, DC! I was going to say.... LOOK at that smile on her! hahaha. Ear to Ear.... With a dumpy rump! hahaha.

Seriously brudda... that is looking GREAT! How'd the hood turn out? Roof? Any peeling? If not, EVEN BETTER news! Dang, ...throw some Soft 8 Alum's on that thing and some BFG 50's Street Tires... and HOLY HECKLES! lol... DOESN'T need it, it's a nice truck... I'm just thinking out loud.

HAVE FUN WITH IT! But hurry up and buff her rump... hahaha.... She might get a complex if she sees the reflection of her cloudy rear!

 

Very nice! I'll admit to giving mine a good buff when I brought it home and it made a world of difference. Maybe I'll do it again next spring!

and again... 2wd, long bed, 22re, 5 speed... I'M ENVIOUS!! ZUK mod it and I'd be haulin' mcycles around in that all day!

 

Is this a long bed? That's good to know.

And what is a ZUK mod? Sorry, new to this truck business.

OK did you use an orbital buffer, or by hand? My tail gate needs some help. Exact details on how you did it.
Thanks

 

Check Chefyota's sig, also google no-cut zuk. I just did mine the night before last, took about 15 minutes w/ my bed off.
