Topic: New Guy From MN

[Jesseman445]

Hey guys my name is Will and I just bought my first Yota. 

SAS'd 89 extended cab 5 speed with 4.10s and 37s.  I got a good deal on it and it seems like a good start.  Also, something very rare up here, its rust free!   

I've been a quiet member on pirate for a couple years now but I usually do more reading than posting.  I'm pumped to finally be a member of the toyota community and a member on the marlin board.

  II  that rust free issue won't last long if you are driving it there. When I moved to WI I brought a pristine 70 Pontiac Formula 455 with me, once I realized what was going to happen to that virgin sheet metal I sold it to a guy in Texas.

I got the truck like that yesterday.  It has alot of new parts and hopefully we'll have the body lift out, new springs, gears, lockers, dual tcases, and sliders/bumpers by the memorial day run at dresser. 

All suggestions would be appreciated

nice looking truck

[boggerunner]

gotta ditch the step bars and get some sliders.  are u gonna truss and gusset the front axle?
that is a sharp truck!

[Jesseman445 [OP]]

yeah sliders are definitely on the list for this spring.  i'm not a big fan of nerf bars.  i'm not sure what the plans are for the front axle yet.  we're still coming up with build ideas.

[ajordan1975]

sliders and lockers first!

i hope those arent blocks under those front springs

i hope those arent blocks under those front springs

Don't worry, they're not.  I would not have driven it the 200+ mile trip home if they were.  The suspension setup on there is kindve ty anyway, though, and is getting changed this spring.
