New to forum

Just thought i would make my presence known.
I have a 1990 yota pickup ex cab v6 w/ 198k miles on it.
Bought it off my boss for $200, paid $150 to get the truck running.
It took a whole new timing belt set up and a case of beer, and it runs like a champ. currently in the process of making the speedo work, having to have ordered a whole new speedocable housing. But after that it should run in excellent condition.

Plans for the beast, looking to stay IFS with long travel and wanting to go 4" lift on 33's. looking to throw headers and exhaust on with possibly going to a safari snorkel down the road, until then a home built intake will have to do. Then after those things are done I will look into body armor/bumpers, roll bar for the bed and a good ole' winch.

This isn't my first go around with forums and wont be my last. Search function is everybodies best friend.

I have owned an accord (totaled), 03 Tacoma (rolled/totaled), 08 Malibu (friend totaled), and 06 eclipse (totaled courtesy of crazy bitches) and Currently own a Hyosung GT650 and the yota.
