Almost free 85

Long story short. Ran across a cool lady in a parking lot and she told me she had an 85 yota for sale that does'nt run. I could'nt afford it at the time, so we exchanged numbers in case anything changed. Well low and behold she calls me one day and tells me she got a cj-7 from a friend and wants the yota out of her driveway, so the deal ends at the agreement that when i get the yota runnin i will go help her with whatever on her jeep. Now to put it on the road and go hook her up. On to the pics.

As i got it.

I cut it shorter for departure angle and cut it down for better access to the inside of the bed once its lifted.

Once it's lifted? It's already lifted.

No lift in the rear, and the front has some brand of aftermarket spring, but at the same time only has a half bare block for weight, so not sure. But to clarify, my meaning of lift is 4" to 6" susp and 37" tires. All depends I guess.

Wasn't that thing in the for sale section. I know I've seen it before posted as being parted out due to no title.

On a side note, if you want to sell the stock steel wheels minus the tires I'll take them.
