This is the first toyota I have ever owned. I got it because of legendary toyota toughness and reliability. I will go camping with this rig and mild offroading for now. It's got a 3.0 v6 with about 56 or 57k it was replaced at 100k or so by the dealer in CA so the truck has about 156-156k or so. 5 speed man. trans new clutch a couple of years ago still in good shape, new clutch master and slave cylinder 2 years ago ˟locker is a Aussie locker the the tires and rims I flipped off the suburban, steel rock crawlers with 33's, ˟AC works great and the ladder rack! ˟Another mod that was done was to eliminate the weak slide collar in the front dif and put in a solid shaft, so now with the locking hubs unlocked you can us 2 wheel low. ˟New carrier bearing and rearend seal this year Rancho 9000 shocks Am Fm Cd with pioneer spkrs and a offroad spare tire rack. No cracked glass cold air intake with KN filter headers and magniflow muffler. Aftermarket seats were added some wear on driver, passenger like new. Downey torsion bars as well.

I had $300 into my suburban. ˟He kept the optima in it as it was too big to fit in the toy, I will need to pick up a smaller yellowtop, the one I had was for a semi truck!

here's some pics for ya'll, let me know how you think I did!!

 

So I guess the first question I have is this. The passenger door worked fine the day I got it, but later that day it refused to open. The door is unlocked, but both handles seem not to have any real tension. I have to figure out a way to get the door open, but of course I cannot get the door panel off when the door is closed. How do I get this door open??

 

took the ladder rack out, got the roll bar in out of a s10 baja truck,,, this weekend putting a cargo rack over the cab,,,, and looking at options to cut fenders and sas down the road depending on what the budget allows! gotta find a cheap decent front solid axle for it!
