shacal13 1980 4x4

so i guess its finally time start a thread on my truck since i have been on here for some time. the truck was originally my aunts and it sat in her driveway for 10 years. the city got on her about it and it became mine. after draining all the fluids and rebuilding the carb and giving everything a once over i had it running in about 3 hours. it runs like a champ and is a ton of fun. ive had many toyotas but this is the only one ive had where i get asked almost everyday if i want to sell it.

i dont have too many pictures of it but here are some specs on it

1980 4x4
20r
4.37
stock interior with the exception of having the seat redone a couple years back
MKW m86 15x8 wheels
nitto 31x10.5 tires
fabtech bed mount
sliders
rock lights

things in the works to be done

4.88 gears and lockers from yukon
raceline beadlocks
33in nittos
custom bumpers
custom dash
7in nav unit
custom bed cage with rack


this is how it looked when i first got it a few years back.

as for the dash that im working on i bought a dash frame so the truck wasnt down at all while im building a new one. the pad is way wrecked on the original and i have always liked the look of a fabed dash. i am going to paint it some sort of grey to match some of the interior.

@slacker that is a really nice piece. i thought about fixing my stock one and molding it to do the same thing since my brother and i do that for some other stuff not car related but i really wanted to do a metal dash.

@kawazx636 thanks bro
