    won it on ebay and had it delivered from Cali. Received it on 11/17. Here's what it looks like.

    Short term plans are to get it running good and cleaned up, then on to the fun stuff.

    Hopefully it will look similar to this before too long.

    i should be getting mine around the end of the month. do i smell a race to completion LOL. you will probably finish before me anyways because i have less than no money LOL. but at least i should have it bagged by slamfest since i have everything left over from my taco except for tanks and comps. doubt the body drop will be done though because i still need to find a swb american bed.

    i have a bunch of friends where i live with the same body style as yours, are you aware that 87-like 94 supra front ends will swap out onto your truck. By that i mean, spindle, bigger brakes and pretty much everything to do with the front suspension. Gets you a couple inch drop too before you turn the torsion bars:) Let me know if you are interested, by buds have a bunch of supra front clips and they usually just end up giving most of it away to scrap metal haulers. Only works with pre-taco toyotas as all the offsets and crap changed.
