    hello everyone, my name is cesar I am from VA I currently own a 87 toyota truck. my father has had a few of them over the years I think they are awesome. I used to have a 92 thats I picked up free with a blown motor, threw in one from a 94, and sold it (dumb mistake) I picked this one up for 600 a couple of weeks ago the millage is unknown, but the engine seems to be in tip top shape. I hope it stays that way.
    the plans for right now are just get it looking decent with some paint, and fix all the dings and dents.
    future mods are:
    new seat/s
    uncracked dash (if I can find one)
    steering wheel
    fender mirrors (let me know what you guys think)
    new trim all around the glass
    if anyone knows a website where I can get some of these things
    let me know. or if anyone knows any cheap and easy DIY mods I will
    greatly appreciate it.
    well here she is :D

    I kinda want to keep it stock, just replace as much of the interior as I can.
    maybe stiffen the rear suspention up a bit so I can throw the quad on there.

    welcome to TM. i use my turbo truck to move my bikes around (~600lbs) i used load adjuster shocks from a 1st gen truck, kinda wishing i used air shocks now, as the truck bottums really bad with the bike in the back with a 3in drop. But i would also recomment a rear sway bar also, im getting ready to buy one here soon.

    It also came with a trailer so im not really worried that for now, but hopefully by the end of summer I'll have something on there...right now its the seats, and the weather strips I really need...any one know a site I can get those at?
    thanks for the friendly replies guys.

    I don't like those side view mirrors;)
    I like the ones that are smaller(4x4 style maybe).
    It's nice when they are mounted farther back on the door so that you can rest your hand on it comfortably when out cruising.

    thanks...and that yellow truck i found it on google..I wish it was mine..I saw a thread a long time ago where some dude made a 2wd double cab like that from a tacoma, but that was a few years ago. thanks for the info..I will look into it when I get some more money. now what I really need is the weather strips around the windshield, and the doors. any other suggestions are very welcome.
    noob question. what does RN20 stand for.
