    Ok Guys and Gals My Latest project is GRASS ROOTS, a 1985 Xtra Cab Toyota. I drove to Missouri to get this: A/c. P/S, Auto Trans, everything I wanted minus the Turbo. Right now I am in the Process of full Air Ride, as well as a few 80's/90s Minitruck touches.
    The Day we Drove 1350 miles out to get her!

    Welcome man. I like that you're going for older mini truckin looks. It's not really around anymore, obviously. lol, Updating is awesome, but remember that we all love pictures here.

    I'm glad to see more bagged yota's in the area! The last few years at scrapin i normally see 5-10 maybe... currently up my way i'm building mine, my buddy has a bagged single cab 86 also but its getting worked on, and we also have an ext cab white cab going on a single cab frame and will have a custom shorty bed on it.
