hey guys, just picked up another yota for myself. this truck was used as a hunt truck and winter driver by the previous owner. however prior to him, it was owned by a toyota salesman who had it rebuilt from several trucks. the cab shows no signs of rust, floor is 100%, frame is also in excellent condition. new transmission very low mileage, and the tires are like new. however the interior is in need of some loving.

here she is on the outside...




and the hurting interior.. now somewhat clean




my plans for the truck at this moment are to just get it on the road for the winter. as far as i can tell i will need... windshield, e-brake, idler arm and possibly some brakes and brake lines. aside from that all is well.

future plans include some bj spacers and shackles with 33's and some paint. aswell as some custom bumpers, aluminum skid plate and backrack in my fab class.

 

good score on the truck man... that interior is pretty dirty is that all dog hair in the back?

 

yes... yes it is, about a 5gal shop vac full and then some

 

Wow! You got the rare genuine dog fur interior, only available in '94! It wasn't available in 1995 because of PETA...



In all seriousness, I can't wait to see what you do with the truck.

 

Grat looking truck. Extended cabs are NICE!! I miss mine.

 

so yesterday december 24th i bought myself some much better condition bumpers, 20$



and more detailed photos of the old bumpers/rusty fenders.





the rusty fenders...






and what i had to wake up to today for christmas..



pair of new fenders.

old bumpers and fenders have been removed.

merry christmas and happy holidays everyone!

 

That's a heck of a deal on those bumpers!

 

good score man

any help is appreciated

so if im not mistaken, G144 is 8" diff with 4.88 gears and an open diff. woohoo!

 

brought the truck into the shop today all i needed to safety was, windshield, ebrake pivots and 2 minor exhaust leaks. WOOHOO one step close.

probably another week before i'll be driving it.

 

Good score man I love my 4.88s they Are nice and u can throw a 33 on there without much issue

 

so over the weekend i picked up a parts truck... its a 92 3.0, 5 speed. it has a fiberglass bed a really clean interior.

 

Small update for everyone, here we go...

since buying the part truck i've slowly been stripping the interior, slowly due to the fact i'm working outside. I've also installed a new SONY head unit and SONY rear speakers and wiper blades that needed to be changed sooooo so bad.

and here we have my current project for truck..



cut the center of the grill





then i build a mounting bracket and painted it..



and this is where it's at now.. well sort of, this pic was taken before the mount was built so the final mounting location will be slightly different.

hopefully i'll have it all wired by this afternoon



and for everyone's enjoyment... this is the rad in my part truck, i've never seen anything as bad

 

From what I can see, the parts truck actually looks like it's in good shape, unless there's something I'm not seeing. You should keep it running.

The grill mod should be pretty cool! I was thinking about doing something like that with mine, but only with 2 lights. It would put my driving lights higher and it would give me an opportunity to mount fogs down where my driving lights are on the valance.

 

Well for the parts truck... It has 348xxxkm a blown HG, trans needs a rebuild amd the can is literally rotten, where the door mounts to the cab is no longer structural one bit, floor is toast, both doors are rotten thru.

 

and here we have it, my grille mod is done for now, i may end up adding some mesh eventually.







and just to show the improvement...



driving with low beams



driving with 4 100w halogens

I really love the way it looks, and the lights perform great

 

Got lots of work done this weekend, installed 1.5" BJ spacers, 2" lift block in the rear, skyjacker hydro 7000s all around, removed the sway bar and dropped my diff aswell as installied some aisin manual hubs.


the goods..






I'll get an after photo of the truck after my alignment tomorrow

 

Love the lights man looks sweet and nice lift u wil enjoy it
