    It could use a few more stickers on that pass side window. ha ha! Slap a new bed on there and it'll be a thousand times better looking. Good luck on your new build!

    I was almost stationed there but I went to Japan instead. So much better! No offense, I just could not handle the blackouts and the lack of hot water. I heard a lot of horror stories about it.

    Picked up a different bed. . . I know, I know "Why is everything so rusty?" :brickknock:It's the price you pay for living on a small island surrounded by ocean. Don't really care though, It gives me good practice at restoration. :cool:[​IMG]

    1st step at tackling the rust.

    I also know what it means to be surrounded by water... sometimes it is only a short 4,500km trip to the other side.

    Fkin rust sucks.You fix one and another one pops out.But that's life on the island.I wouldn't change it for the world.Are those the rims that was on the gold truck?Looks like the truck's going to be ready for New Years.

    Yep, might just need to step right to either powdercoating or POR 'N the whole truck. Just goes to show how much passion you guys have over there for keeping our toyota's alive. . . Good luck on the project. . .

    I've been noticing that the yotas rust from the underside out. so a small hole becomes a bigger on when ground down.
