    Hey guys,
    I've grown up and lived in Mid-Michigan my whole life. My first truck was a 1986 Toyota pickup 2wd with a MT. Since then I've always had mini trucks, 2 wheelers and some 4x4s, almost always with standard transmissions. I perform all needed maintenance and repair work, and I usually only know enough to get myself started. In my 2 car garage I have been able to do engine swaps, clutch work, and even a paint job once (though I'm not sure that I want to do that again). I really enjoy the simplicity and forgiving nature of the older Toyota's, and have been able to learn while wrenching on most of my projects. My latest truck is a 1985 2wd MT that I just picked up for $640. It was in desperate need of a water pump and muffler, but already had a tow bar hooked to the front. It has some frame rust too and certainly requires repair, but after looking it over I decided the price was right and towed it home. There are little odds and ends that need addressed and will eventually get sorted, but for now it's doing pretty good for well under 1000 bucks.
    -Happy Holidays everyone [​IMG][/url][/IMG] 20171203_180629 (2).jpg
