    I didn't get the 82 I was going to trade for the 260Z, BUT I had a guy that I knew just happen to be selling his truck. Luckily he had not put it in a bargain trader or advertized it yet. So here are some pics of it I took last night...:p couldn't wait to get them up, but I will get better ones of it today if I get home before dark. The seats are ones I have never seen in a Toyota before. they are adjustable bucket seats with the SR5 design in the middle. I am getting Mastercraft seats, so should I keep these rare seats or sale them? Also selling the 35x15.50 mud grapplers and the 15x10 Xtreme alloy 1079's if you’re interested. If I could just sale my 04 Tacoma I could get started on this project! :brickknock:

    It has 230,000 on it, but has a 93 22RE motor(so he said) needs a new front and rear bumper..but that’s no problem since I will be getting pre-fabs. Clear coat is popping off, but its original, and need exhaust rings where the manifold and the header meet. ok, so it need some work, but I Like it! :love:

    But overall I am pleased with it! :D

    i'd like to get some champion beadlocks. yes i think it's at lest 5" suspension lift. No body lift. I might get a Roger Brown 1" or 1.5" body lift.

    HAS ANYONE SEEN SEATS LIKE THIS?

    Ditto
    4wd looks like fun fun fun
    I can't afford one, maybe some day I'll find a rolled project that's waiting for my cab and engine.
    Til then I'll just keep her running as cheaply as possible and save up.
