    Hey guys,

    Nice to have finally registered for TM, been lurking around here for a while now. Some really cool trucks out there, would be a liar if I said I didn't get some inspiration from this site :D

    This truck has been in my life for as long as I can remember, my dad brought her home off the lot in 1992. The truck my sister and I learned how to drive on, camping and backpacking trips, fishing trips, you name it, the truck went with us. My dad DD'ed it until i was 19, when he signed the title over to me for my birthday. I was stoked!

    Anywho, don't have many pictures of it as a new truck, at least not digital anyways. I've got a couple I have snapped within the last three years since I've owned it.

    As it sits, its bone stock aside from some cosmetic upgrades. 167,300 on a virgin 22re, 5spd, 2wd of course. First thing I changed, as many people do, was the outdated cassette deck. My dad is an old-school kinda guy :waytogo: Ditched the 14x7's for some 15x8's, not sure of the offset. Last but not least, picked up a shaved, welded, and smoothed bumper/valence off craigslist. believe the guy i bought it from is a member here, has a cool longbed hilux. so i put that on after doing a not so great filler job, and that brings us up to date. will get more pics soon and maybe a project thread even.

    Looks like a great canvas for custom dd. I think with some work that bumper/valance could clean up nice.
