Yes, I've had it for about 5 weeks now and have done nothing on it. But here are a few pics that I snapped today as I was on my way to meet Zman. The Tacoma towed it great, even with me having the weight distributing hitch setup wrong.

Nice rig!

Looks like you SERIOUSLY need to beef up the rear suspension on that Taco. You do have trailer brakes, don't you? How was it stopping?

The weight distribution hitch was setup incorrectly-that's why the sag. Was fixed later.

It stopped great-I do have trailer brakes.

Nice!
Will it be driven daily too, or just mainly for trails?

Did you buy it from a POR member?

Dual E lockers too, sweet.

I bought it off of Pirate-it came from El Centro, CA. It will be a trail only rig-once I get it running right. The Tacoma is the daily driver. Most of the time, the '85 will be pulled behind my old motorhome, but I have been eyeing 2000-2003 Excursion diesels lately.

Here is the thread from Pirate:

Looks sick!

Although i'm of the oposite opinion of Mattbaby24, with regards to the camo paint. But, whatever works for you.

I'm not crazy about the camo either, I mainly bought it for the combination of parts it had for the price. I won't be painting it though-it's a trail rig only.

Oh yeah, the '99 now resides in Northwest Colorado. Somewhere not too far from Proffit's Cruisers.

Dude it has a full Exo-Cage around it. I dont think it needs much more when it comes to protection.
