My first gen high school build
« on: Apr 18, 2014, 11:52:45 AM »
I bought my first rig about four months ago and I've been wrenching on it since.  It's a 1982 Toyota 4x4 shortbed with all the interior ripped out, 22r under the hood, its got 37" MTRs, 6" pro comp suspension lift which would not be my first choice, flowmaster exhaust below, aluminum radiator, stock steering kit, blah blah blah. I'm hoping to get a marlin front/rear bumper, warn winch, mc roll bar, and smaller tires for better fuel economy(I'm driving across the country in August). I'll be posting my progress on here and there are more pictures on the way.

Yeah, high steer kit is one of the first big upgrades I'm gonna make. Marlin makes a great one too. Soon I'm going to plasti-dip the truck a desert tan. It gets way too hot when I leave it parked in the sun and I don't have any A/C of course.
