I traded a HighSchool Buddy my 05 Honda Rancher 4x4 for this "Mint" 1987 Toyota 4X4

It's pretty ruff but I wanted a project since I sold my last one to Rob :(

Driverside door when I got it, first thing I did was remove the doors

It smokes just a little at full throttle.
I just picked up new brakes,valve cover gasket,rear main seal,oil/filter.
That will get me started, it runs pretty good and everything works so far.

It does need a lift up front (blocks in back for now).
I'm pulling the doors today and carpet/seats so I can clean it out, also need to clean out glovebox (found a bag of hydro in it yesterday) I will be removing the flatbed part and shortning the frame too.

the tires are new on front I would say 90% rear are at about 60%

Well you better do something fast, poor thing has a bad case of "Blue Balls". LOL

Looks good though, can't wait to see what you do with it.

That bed needs to go. Or at least the last 3 or 4 feet of it.

I'm going to pull the doors and see if I can let some pressure off the balls tonite...lol

yeah, I'm going to try and pull that thing tomorrow and chop the frame, might tackle the rear seal too.

Pull the front bumper while you're at it, in their current form they are both useless but there is a lot of good steal there, see if you can cash it out to get some 1.75x3/16 square stock to build a good front bumper and decent tube bed.

I don't know who you think you are naming your own rig trailer trash. You named my rig & I will be naming yours once the inspiration hits me.

That is awesome! I would love to have a project truck like that. Have fun with it, looks like you can do about what you want to. Money permitting.

Fine, come up with something as catchy as creampuff and I will change it.
If you wanna come out tomorrow I will be removing that bed and doing the brakes etc.

It's got a bad case of Alto cancer, it does have some rust though, it came from up North.
