Sorry for the delay in pictures, I've been busy, and haven't had time to get to a place with the interwebs. No internet at my house, and I live in the middle of nowhere. =P Pictures to follow!


My poor skid plate, there is some rust for some reason, as well as the dents from hitting the deer, and the jack slipping.


I went through my parent's field with my nicer tires, they did pretty good. Four inches of snow or so on the ground.


Just another shot.


My messed up snow angle. hehe. I was just having fun in the field.


My fixed bumper, still need to fix the light. but stuff is bent back into place... More or less.




SNOW


My light's back in place.




Fixed coolant tank, more or less.


My brother in law got in that black toyota next to mine today. It's a 94, 2wd. It's soo adorable, at least compared to my truck. Look at the height difference. haha. I get to pull a few parts.


Another picture of them side by side. I do like that black truck. =]


Another.

I will be able to fix all the problems I've talked about that revolve around looks, minus my back bumper. That includes.
Passenger side blinker(deer damage)
Passenger side door handle(is cracked, pictures a few pages back)
Cracked dash(OMG THE DASH ISN'T CRACKED, SCORE!!!)
Glove box(Mine is broken in a few spots, and is very loose)

You can't see but the truck is super rusted, so no body parts are really there worth keeping. All together, super lucky to get to pick over it. =] My brother in law says I can take stuff if I switch out my stuff, at least for now. He may keep it around as a scrap yard truck, or for better gas mileage, all my problems are simply for looks, and because they annoy me. haha. Anything I should take, if it does go to scrap?

Anyways, sorry about the late response, but please enjoy the pictures. Hope everyone is doing well!! I am absolutely in love with my truck, especially now because of the tire change.

Your truck looks 100x better with the big tires, to be honest. And I'm liking the Mickey Thompson Classic IIs. They would've been my second choice behind the Outlaw IIs.

-shakes fist at spammer-

Thanks for the kind words about my truck you guys. I have to agree, looks a trillion times better. I am almost tempted to run without the topper because of looks. Haha. I'll have to get You guys pictures of it without the topper, and with my nicer tires.

Saturday out in Bark River, which is up here in the UP, a bunch of off-roaders are getting together to help build some trails on 200 acres for an off-road event this spring. I'm tempted to bring my truck, but I'll probably be taking a four-wheeler instead. =] If I take the truck, there will be pictures.

And there is snow in most places here, but we've had some warm weather so a bit has melted down. But, it's snowing right now, and is suppose to keep snowing steadily till Saturday. Bring on the snow!

Had an awesome day Saturday! I didn't wheel my truck though, but it did come along for the ride, got trailered behind my brother-in-laws duramax. We were cutting trails in a cedar swamp for truck gone wild this spring/summer. I rode my dad's four wheeler around most of the day. Someone brought their s10 through the trail and got a stick through the sidewall of his tire.. So i wasn't going to risk it. You know? Pictures. =]


I'm on the green four wheeler. This is a bit before the real tail started. Everyone was kind of prepping and such.


stick through the sidewall of the s10's tire. That sucks. =/


Pulling the truck out of the trail, he couldn't get anywhere. This was a horrible idea, the blue chevy that was pulling was getting stuck himself, and just everything about this plan was horribly thought out. Eventually they listened and had my brother in laws duramax pull this guy out. -sigh-


My truck parked with everyone else's. =]


My truck and four wheeler trailered, sadly I didn't take a better picture.


My truck with my nicer tires and without the topper, this was taken months ago in TN, not up here in the UP. We have snow. =P


Another one, looks so much better without the topper.

ALSO,
I replaced my dash, no more crack, replaced my blinker, and replaced my cracked door handle. Small fixes, but they are improvements anyways. Hopefully I can do more later with my truck, still want to change out my headlight lenses, mine are foggy. Then also my glove box is broken so I want to switch that out too. So some fixes here and there. I want to do the spacers for my seat for some height, we will see though. I think it'll make a big difference for me. =] I'll post more pictures later of my slight improvements. Haha. Picture overload. sorry!

See, if that guy with the S-10 was driving a Toyota pickup, such as ours, instead of an S-10, he wouldn't have gotten his tire punctured. I know that doesn't make sense right now, but it makes a lot more sense if you don't think about it

Seat risers? If I grew anymore, I'd probably have to drop my seats a bit

Yeah, i have to agree. =P But yeah there were over ten trucks, and I was the only Toyota, and there was one dodge, the rest were Chevy/GMC. I was slightly surprised, and also got a lot of teasing for driving a toyota. But don't worry, I stuck up for her. =P Told 'em they were jealous they didn't have a ride as nice as mine. haha

Also, I'm 5'1", so I'm kind of tiny. =P

I swear if I had the money I'd buy this darn truck.

http://northernwi.craigslist.org/cto/2772471823.html

I love that body style. -drool-

In other news the truck should be getting an oil change soon, and hopefully a tune up. Yeehaw. Hopefully the truck will run like a champ after those things.

No real updates. =[

Replacing my glove box, replacing headlights, got an oil change, replacing the air filter.

However a different scrap yard got a Toyota with a custom bumper and if they can't get the. Truck going, I get a chance at the bumper.

If nothing else I've been doodling bumpers.

Winter is slow here in the UP.
