    sold to some friends, his brother was driving it and then a few years later we came across her at one of the local yards. Sure do miss that POS some times :lol: funny thing with that truck even with a mono leaf and 3" blocks with a notched frame I had to jump on the tailgate to make the frame hit ground :ROFL:

    I had the sticker made(I put them on all my toyota's) and thanks- I can't wait for rims so its super fitted

    For a beater, it was a looker that's for sure!!! Sad to see it end that way

    Got a ton of work done today on the front of the truck(actual coilover suspension, new rims and tires and fender rolling/inner adjustment)

    It was to dark for decent pics once I finished!! Tomorow- epic shots

    Needs alittle fine tuning- but its looking great to me, on the 30th I'm entering the truck in a event and people usually make videos of this event and if they do I'll post the video here so people can see!!

    More to come!

    So a few updates- welded diff- been adjusting just about everything on the truck trying to get it perfect! Putting in a hydraulic ebrake in the next few days(floor mounted, handle pretty close to the steering wheel)

    Looks pretty decent for having less then 100 bucks into it

    Will get one, but let's put it this way- on my one way street with the diff welded, when I'm parked on one side of the curb I can turn completely around without touching the one on the other side(O point turn?)

    And that's the beginning... I want 90 degrees of lock

    Thanks fellas, glad people like it so far

    Just cut the stops out and ground the spots on the lca flat- adjusted the set screw on the box(mainly just tightened it so I could feel the steering more) after that I gave it a home alignment an beat the inner fenders a bit


    The corolla... Well the corolla was fully gts ae86 swapped(including dash and seats wiring etc etc) left the box in it as it started out as a te72(t chassis is box, a is rack and pinion in corolla land) swapped to mx73 front struts brakes lca etc- welded diff with a t40(4spd) and of course the 4ag... The car would merge into traffic doing 60mph dead sideways like it was a normal daily occurrence
