This is my project: Project Sherman
Some History:
The rig is a 1982 Toyota Pickup Longbed SR5. I have owned this truck since highschool which is now 13 years and counting. I bet you are wondering how I came up with the name "Sherman" for a project name; It starts back in Highschool when I use to go wheeling here in Washington. Being on a budget and owning an older vehicle I could not afford to pay for gas for wheeling and fix parts that were still somewhat working. With my suspension worn out (metal on metal) and u-joints which were non-serviceable (Stock) my friends could hear me coming down the trail hundreds of feet away. They would always say that it sounded like a Sherman Tank come up the trail with every flex and bump of the trail creating an extremely loud creeking shreak!
Now on to the fun stuff, The Goodies:
