Liloscar 1988 4x4 pickup Build

Hello guys. I opened this new thread for my build project. I would like to get as many ideas of what to do with this rig since I am a newbie when it comes to yota's.

Also, what good things do you see of my truck and what bad things ( need to fix asap)?

Eager to hear all your comments

Here are more images. Also, you see that it has a tank on the bed. Thats a propane tank. My truck was converted to a profesional Propane gas system. I will upload some photos of the converter now

thx for your response bruno.

I want her to be a daily driver. However, 45 percent of the times I have to drive off roads. I live in the countryside.. so its bad terrain a good amount of times.

Yes I am on a budget. As for motor and transmission, she is perfect. She has 285k miles but @ 250k a repair was done on the motor. New Pistons, new gasket, new everthing. So mechanically she is a BEAST. However, she looks ugly. So wanna fix her up. Got to figure out where to buy cheap parts.

didn't load correctly, may just be my computer. as for cheap body repairs, if its dents that you can't just pop out and smooth out with a persuader (hammer) then hit your local junk yard for body panels, then mask off (butcher paper and painters tape) and rattle can paint it whatever color you want some dents look okay, battle wounds!

as for off road on rough roads, but still want to look tough when you're driving around, get a decent set of tires, like my tires off tire rack are http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....VOWL&tab=Sizes
you can pick whatever size you want. I run 32's but I also have a 5" lift.

you don't need to lift the truck if you're looking to save some $$$ but if you want to the lift kit I have is really well built and pretty inexpensive (as far as lift kits go)

little off road shot of the suspension, IFS doesn't flex as much as a solid, but I've managed to stuff my tires without breaking anything.



this is how it stands next to a stock jeep comanche (sisters truck)
