New Pics & Updates . . .

Hey all, took some new pictures with ( the green machine ) & ( LowNloud )! I also, mounted my old Eagle alums on her, took a few pictures after I DEEP scrubbed her to get all the sap, bird sh*t, oxidation & spot rust off. . The rims are 7" wide with 0 offset, so they totally stick out like the old school stuff , they are 195 - 55's that I used to have on LowNloud before I purchased the new ones in black. With the new rims and tires & fugly azz rear bumper gone, the truck now sits about 2.25" lower, NOW thats how I like it, lil closer to mother earth, soon to be adding 3" drop blocks and cuttN' the coils to bring her down a lil' more and that'll pretty much be about it till I get LowNloud bagged. I replaced all the exhaust manifold gaskets ( they were all shot or totally GONE ) and then got everything tightened & greased up, totally ready to be RollN'! YES, the camper mirrors are comming off and being replaced by single oval mirrors, and that 3' radio antenna that is capable of picking up NASA deep space signals is being removed . All in all, she cleaned up nice and itll maka fine rollR till I get a chance to dig deeper. Enjoy the NEW pictures and Thanks for all the compliments and such. . .

 

You know........you really need to get a real life some day. LOL
Way to much time on your hands!

I'm loving it, it's going to be sweet!

 

L O L . . . Funny thing is I work 6 days a week, and love to sleep in. My hobbies are . . . ( Toyota pickups ) L O L @ myself, I love every minute of it and the best thing of all is driving what I like around laughing at all the people that spend $40,000 for worthless, overpriced peices of crap. I enjoy buying, building, crusin & soon DraggN'. LowNloud everyday baby . . .

 

sweet! put some weld draglites and sit back and enjoy the ride....**** i wish i had that truck

 

lownloud,

you arnt that bad yet, wait until you have 5 project cars, another on the way and yet you still want more


but hey, it could be worse....

you could be addicted to crack, or thats what i tell myself all the time.





slightly off topic:


i had some 82-85 celica front sway bars lying around, turns out they fit like a glove on the hilux's. 1in sway bar junkyard upgrade

 

well said man. I wish I had their money to spend on my pickup right now.

 

Ain't that the truth!!!!

 

Nice ride.
Lower it a little bit.
I kinda like the green color but I would paint it with the green color that Honda used for their '08 CRV (Green Tea Metallic).
...then chrome all the accents (since it's a classic).
Crystal red tail lights, white headlights.
I'm not big on chrome stuff, but this will look really good with chrome rims.

-----just my 2 cents

 

Thanks for all the continuing comments and ideas guys, totally diggN the appreciation! TRDer JOE, lovN' the idea with the chrome accents, I figure keep the chrome small but showy/original. The headlights ( for now ) are going to receive some chrome half sheilds to bring back " the days ". For the interior, Ive decided to head in the tweed direction & recently just ordered a custom black tweed cover for it, IF I like it, I will do the door panels, the dash pad and the headliner in the same material. I havent found the mirrors I like, SO " for now " the mirror arms are painted and am putting chrome replacement stud mount bearing heads on them. I ordered 1" spacers for the rear tires/rims, to even them out with the front ( since this toyota generation has a narrower rear end ). The green paint will stay and will become a different shade with white accents, this will happen after I accumulate more fundage ( that I'm not spending on LowNloud ). Im going to try like hell not to get out of hand with this one, and am going to try and keep it OLD SKEWL, everything except the lifted rear end with huge meats. Blocks from LowNloud are going to be put on her after I get them off, then Im cuttN' the front coils about 2". Should make for a sic looking static drop with a mean stance. As for the chrome rims, fundage is going to be the kicker, Im constantly watching for deals on different rims, but, kinda like the aluminum Eagles' for now. I do need cab vents, IF anyone knows where to get them, please let me know, mine are totally shot ( beyond repair ). Well, enough for now, but between the baggN project and work and sleep, Im still going to try and make it here everynight.

 

wow

thats a great pickup..
4 round lights..
so much potential!

 

Here you go MR. Green......

 

Man that old ad is awesome. I wish I could find an 80 ad like that.

 

I'll look around, see what I can dig up!!

 

Thatsa kewl photo, Ive seen it before. I guess I never meantioned it, BUT, I have the original sales receipt, first registration, Original parts book, the original owners manual, and get this, I have those hubcaps, they are almost perfect with NO dents and justa lil rust . . .

 

Here's the manual....

 

thats funny i was about to buy the same ad/book on ebay. although it was more like the factory repair giude and parts numbers. missed the bid and cant find it again

 

Swweeeetttt Truck lownloud, I love it. And yes that is my truck you see there in the signature, (I hope) THinking of selling it... Interested? LOL Well like I said... THINKING... Anyway, You should run the paint job on ole green there through a oxidation process, get all the oxidized paint off of it then just put 3 coats of a good clear coat on it. That should bring out the real green in the paint. Make it look almost brand new with a little twist of newness. Would give it a good clean antique look. Similar to the Rat cars.. L8ter
