New member, Daily Driver is a 86 regular cab that I bought wrecked. The previous owner destroyed frame and suspension jumping the truck in the riverbed. I did a frame swap with an 85, and an 83 solid axle. Rebuilt the front axle w/Marlin seals and bearings,vented rotors and calipers. Rebuilt the rear axle with bearings and brakes including drums. I went back to Original Toyota steel wheels, Powdercoated Black Chrome, and Michelin AT tires. I had the interior redone with second gen four runner seats, carpet kit and new door trim panels. I stripped the entire truck to bare metal, and repainted it that new GM kinda Green/Blue/Grey pearl color. The truck didn't come with A/C so I scavenged enough parts to blow cool air. I know this sounds odd for a Marlin site, But I love Toyota trucks, and I have many more in the works, including Formula Toy #2.
