    Hi everyone! I live in Xenia, Ohio which is close to Dayton. I'm extremely green with the mini truck scene. I've been wanting to do one for sometime now. My best friend is building a '93 s10 bagged & boddied or at least started too, since its been years since he has touched it, lol. My twin is into lifted yoters and has been bugging me to build a yoter truck for a long time. So I gave in under one condition, that my truck will be more of what I'm into. Lowered, turbo charged & clean enough to be a show car. He was cool with that and has been reading into it as much as I have. So the other day he found me a '90 Toyota single cab pickup, 22RE, 5spd. The frame is nice for an Ohio truck and will be nice not dealing with all the normal rust. The cab is picked over pretty good but I might not need much from it. Going to be using a '87 4wd extra cab & bed with my build. I want to build up a mild performance 22Re turbo motor for this truck. Lay frame on 19's wrapped in 225/40 tires.

    suggestions are welcome and/or avenues to explore with this build. Thanks everyone, looking forward to being part of the toyota minis community.

    This is the '90 yoter I'll be building from. I see it as a diamond in the rough, lol.
