new to these forums but an old school mini trucker from way back.... Picking up an '87 Xtra Cab/Long bed from a friend in about two weeks, it's a blank canvas! I have owned 3 lowered Toy's in the past...2 '85's (Xcabs) and an '88 Xcab long bed....An active member in Seductive Arizona, attended many truck runs, blah,blah,blah...... I'll post some pics of my previous rides, as well as the my new project..I'm looking forward to building this "new" truck....So if you're near Lexington, KY shoot me a message...that's it for now........Thanks for having me! Bill
1985....2" Body Drop, old school air ride (air shocks, front & Rear) shaved everything, one suicide door,walk through....
nice man! kinda rare to see actual pictures of these old school trucks from back in the day. welcome to toyota minis
Very nice bro, Love the engine pic. Welcome to TM. So what is you plans for the new ride this time around?
Last I saw it was in Arizona about around 1997 or 1998 I haven't seen it since. Word had it, it ended up traded in at a dealership and was wholesaled, I bought it with hydraulics and body dropped with alot of the body work started from a guy in 1995 (it was a hack job) I spend over a year re-working the body drop and all the other body work (He must have bought Bondo by the bulk)...anyway It was In Arizona last I know of.
Here is my new blank canvas...I pick it up Thanksgiving weekend, 14 hour trip to Arkansas....it's an Arizona truck, been in AR for a couple years, I will be the 3rd owner. Future plans (in order) Trick out the interior (fiberglass, airbrushing, etc.) Body work (4X4 fenders, rework bumper, later model door handles...) Engine compartment (already has a Weber and header) Bring it down to a respectable height (may do that sooner) Tint windows Install audio system Install old school Viper alarm Paint Last but not least ENJOY!
