Well here is the beginning of the 1981 Toyota General Lee build up! The only thing that is not stock on the truck is my Diff guard I made in welding class last year and of course the paint job! I spent about 23 hours in the paint job so far. I still need to put GENERAL LEE on the top of the cab to complete the paint job. I also have a bunch of stuff to put on like a 6in lift, 5:29s, and 35s. I am going to go look for an IFS steering box and pump soon, so i can have power steering. That would be nice! Then i will be buying a cross over kit when ever i get the money. I will try to keep posts on the progress.

He's painting his TOYOTA like the general lee, you really have to ask why he wants a 6" lift?

I have some friends that were there when MTV did a recreation of the bridge jump. They claim to be visible if you watch the tv broadcast.

That horn reminds me of my high school days. I used that sound to know when it was time to come of for air before classes started in the morning... :ladys-man:
