Hello yotatech, I feel like I should start off with a little introduction (as this will be my first post on this forum) about myself my name is Ethan and I am from Vancouver, Canada. I am 17 years old restoring cars and trucks is something of a hobby of mine. I haven't really done much to the truck as of yet other then cleaning up a little bit of rust that was on the body but I have big plans for the future So I'll just post some pictures of my truck and add to it as I build it up.



Picture of it the day I brought it home.








Fixing up a bit of rust that was under the hard top and my dog looking like the devil.




A picture of some of the rust underneath the hard top, I didn't take one of the other side but it was far worse.




Cleaned it up a bit although it started to rain so I went inside.






Haven't done much like I said but I have only had it less then a week and I have had work everyday till yesterday and today. I am going to start with new tires because the current ones are so bald as you can see in the pictures and there the loudest things on Earth. As of right now it does have hedman headers on it.

 

Solid looking runner man!

 

Looks awesome, can't wait to see what you do with it!

 

Awesome looking runner. You should check out chefyota and Suzy q the silverback runner.

 

Thanks for the kind words guys! Also 87hoerunner I'll be sure to check them out, thanks.

 

Welcome to the club! Looks like a good runner. Pls post more details. 22R-E and Manual transmission I hope?
Also helps if you put those basic details in your signature.
Rust under the removable top was caused by the steel bracket inserted between body and top, that allows water to seep in there. I would remove that.

 

Yeah the previous owner made a homemade roof rack and that steel bracket was the support for it, I'm lucky that, that was the only bit of rust and it was surface rust at that. Also yeah it is the 22R-E with the 5 speed Manuel transmission. It is also the SR5 model.

 

So I ordered 33" BFG T/A KM2's but it is going to take like 2-3 weeks to ship so in the mean time I bought some primer and some paint and painted my skid plate red. I think it looks pretty good and I am going to buy some more paint and do my roll cage. I do have a picture of what it looks like, I think it looks pretty good. Tell me what you think!

 

sick truck. I have a 88 runner also. Just decided to do same thing to my skid plate tonight. I was also planning on painting the roll bar red with the left overs haha. Yota people think alike.

Not sure, you'd need to ask him that if you can track him down.
