[QUOTE="toyodaaddict, post: 1565661, member: 18655"] I started this project about 10 years ago and intended to start a build page but due to a wiped out memory card in my camera that never happened. Considering that this place might not be around all that much longer I figure it's time to stop procrastinating. I hope you guys can handle the hardcore tech and innovative **** you are about to witness :flipoff: The truck has been down for the last year for an engine rebuild, as well as an overall freshening up, so there will be a lot of catching up. I acquired this truck about 10 years ago. The truck was a mess when I got it, especially considering I had no real knowledge of automotive repair and fabrication at the time :silly7:. Other than some horrible bolt on 4" pro-comp springs it was all stock. The truck had a strong running 20R engine, 4speed transmission, busted blownout drivelines, bad wheel bearings, leaky axle seals, basically everything under the frame needed major attention. Just getting this thing on the road was a bit of a battle for me. These are a couple of the earliest pictures (digital pictures anyway) that I can find of the blue truck. You can tell they where taken somewhere around the second maybe third year I had the truck by the pro-comp spring/pushpull steering.
