Looks good bro. What engine you runnin in it?

22r for now...I have a few options otherwise I have a 4.3l vortec I can drop in or I finally found a guy that has a hilux diesle motor but he is real proud of it...my little 22r only has about twenty thousand on it though so it will stay stock for the time being

Nice!!!!! You working toward all olive drab? Or prepping for paint?

Keep up the good work, man!

It's going to be all green...I know there are a lot of rigs here on the forum that are this color but here in idaho I have seen none...I do plan on doing some letters and graphics on it once its all one color to make it different it should look pretty sick when its all done

Finished peelin off the pin stripes...now the bed is ready for sanding and paint and fyi for anyone that needs to do the same a razor works good but there is an attachment for a drill that works awesome and is very fast but will burn the paint in a hurry if your not careful

Can't wait for pics, all done. I barely ever see polished olive color...... Lots of drab, but never polished. I know it looks great, cuz I've seen a couple here in CA, on a Ranger and an xtra cab 92(Or so) Toy. NOT EVEN suggesting you do that, just talking out loud, lol.

Hope it goes well, man, rest of the way! :great:

Well the green is a semi temp color it's not going to stay like that but I can't stand drivin a multi color rig...eventually it will get a real paint job...I do like the red my old 92' was[IMG]http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/...0520001709.jpg[/IMG]

LOVE that red.... I believe that's 'Super Red 2'.... not sure. Super Red 1 is a flat color, but not the same as mine, which is more 'deep', .... or, rather, 'more of a "blue"-red' flat color.

I REALLY loved the old Brick-Red Flat paint that Toyota offered in the first gens/second gen pick ups. .............

Not a great example, not very clean... but WOW, when they're clean? SUWEEEEET! Lol.

Love this green, as well........ Scuba has this color, I believe.........

i still like my gunmetal grey on mine, espically when i do my repaint with rhino lineing on the locker rocker panels :great:

Yep, like that Charcoal/Gunmetal Gray as well.... And Tool Box Gray, also(Silver).... Toy had some NICE colors!

yeah they did! i really wish mine was that blue they had, cant remember the name of it, anyways, other than thread jacking! anything new with the truck?

No new stuff at the moment but i'm going to start the body work on the passenger side this monday...I have been busy as hell this week but I may have a better job next month!! then the yota wont be my dd anymore i'll have a company rig to drive...if that happens i'll be able to work on her more and put more $$ in it...And yea yota has made some great colors My fav is still the red but all of em look good...gunmetal might be another i need to look into. I hadn't thought of that and i havn't seen any 1st /2nd gen pickups with the newer gunmetal color

Keep at it when you can, man.... We're rootin for ya!

Which blue are you speaking of, Josh? The blueberry blue that I had? >>>>>>>

That blue?

I had a white one, too, and I LOVED Toyota's whites back then! It was like a "heavy cream" or "Egg Shell" type of white, ya know?.... Even some new'ER ones like PismoJoe on here.... Love that white too! Here's my 86, for some Ideas for the "Junkie of Adrenalin"! lol.......

But I had an 86 Pick up 4x4 that was blue as well, and I swear it had a lil more red in it(it was almost purple'ISH, but not quite, ya know?).

Can't wait for more, bud! Stay safe up there in Idaho!

Well she is all one color!! i'll post pics as soon as I can took some serious work on the bed to get all the rust out and cleaned up...still has some dents but i don't have the tools to pull them yet...and I need a new passenger door it's tweaked and rippled all the way up so that will come later as well but it looks great anyway!
