    I have a 95 Toyota Pickup 22re that was gifted to me by my father in law. Guess I'll take that as being accepted into the family huh? Now that it's in my hands I'd like to properly restore/upgrade it one day. For now it runs fine, for having 150k, with no leaks and working ac, which is a must in this Vegas heat. Lets see what I got myself into. I'm mechanically inclined but no master mechanic by any means, so I'll need all the help I can get. Hope I came to the right place.

    Thanks
    I didn't feel like a winner at first. Everyday I was finding little things wrong with it, not to mention the fact that it was his work truck. Meaning that I don't think that any amount of vacuuming and little trees will ever fully get the dirt/dust and "dirt" smell out of it.
    But now after a month of owning it and about 10 car washes, I can safely say I'm attached to the little truck. And yeah now I do cosider myself lucky after seeing how many people start off with much less than I will have to to get one running good and nice looking.
    Now only time, space (in the garage), and money can decide the future of my new truck. I'll have to figure out how to post a pic of it here soon too.
