    Hey everyone my name is Kenny I reside in Millington Tn. I just bought a 87 single cab 4 speed Yota. I have alot of ideas on things to do to it, but right now the first thing I want to do is get it in good running condition. It was my uncles truck he bought it brand new, but for the past I'd say year or so its literally been sitting in a field. Me and my boss went out bled the clutch put air in the tires and drove it back to our shop. We ran into only a couple problems the battery was dead and the starter is going to need new contacts so had to tap it to get it running. But then on the way to the shop one of the tires blew out dry rot i'm guessing. But I'm really excited about getting it and I seriously welcome all ideas and comments as soon as i go back to work I'll take pictures and post of everything. Well glad to be a member and thanks for having me. :D :cool:
