If you look at post 111 it's a pick up truck. Nothing illegal aboout that.

its a utility vehicle and its commercial.....

[Twisted Minis]

Cool, keep up the good work!

When is your truck supposed to be done at the bodyshop?

Late June is what I'm told.

damn look at that front flex!!

theres atleast 1 toyota on bags i see around santa rosa and its so sweet. its a 3rd gen pickup.  i cant help but stare. i always appreciate any vehicle thats been built, especially a toyota
only someone that does everthing themselves on their rig and bleeds and cusses about it while they are doing it can appreciate another built rig.

[Twisted Minis]

Is it yellow? Or is it silver/orange? Or blue with a bunch of graphics? Those are the only ones in SR that I know of that are 3rd gen. The rest are Tacos.

[gotxqss]

Damn lotta work there.... Gotta appreciate that

I like that...it would look sick if it was bobbed.

That's something I never considered with a slammed truck   I'm trying to find a suitable longbed 79-83 for bike hauling and daily driving duties, but I'd only be lowering it probably 2" in front and 3 or 4" in back, depending on how it sits stock. 

I seriously hope the mini trucks make a comeback and all the ricer hondas, etc go away.  I'm just so frickin tired of those coffee can exhausts

I miss my 2wd 90 toy ext-cab. I bought it new in 90, 2 weeks later I cranked the torsion all the way down, pulled the arched leaf out & put in a 3" block with 195/50/15's. I loved throwing sparks & grinding the bottom of the truck in driveways. I had a speaker box that took up the whole ex-cab from top-bottom-left-right. I used to put coins on top of the cab & crank the stereo & watch the coins flip. Nothing has changed much except that now I have a 4x4 & can't go with the big stereo system, gotta have room for the kids.

Minitrucks never went away, its just not so mainstream. Which in a way is good. Keeps the cost of parts down.. Lol.



On the ground. Laying on those 1/2" tall bubbles on the bottom of the frame that need to be drug off. Lol.

Finished the shifter too.

[Twisted Minis]

New shifter.

[skipnrocks]

Wow that things kinda scary id hate to be sittin in the middle in an accident....  LOL 

[Twisted Minis]

I was thinking the same thing. But thats what he told me he wanted. He said the first one looked too phallic.

[skipnrocks]

I think if I were to ride in it I would have to bring a pair of tenis balls to stab over them things.  LOL  but they do look cool and mean!!!

[46&2]

Haha thats one hell of a shifter

Definitely hope the owner never gets in any accidents!!

[82 HiLux]

dude that shifter is the weirdest thing i have ever seen. thats such a crazy idea. never seen ANYTHING like that.  where do you think hes gonna grab it?  seems hella high. I hope it doesnt pop out of gear, with my 4x4, I had a kind of heavy shift knob on my tranny shifter, and in first gear ripping mud holes flying over ruts and bouncing, it would pop out of gear.  it would pop out of gear because of the heavy shift knob. that thing looks REALLY heavy. its not solid, is it? whats the thickness

that truck you showed that is you said is daves, thats the one i see all the time. its so awesome. i love toyotas. 

[Twisted Minis]

Yeah Dave works over at the motorcycle shop on Santa Rosa avenue. I always forget the name, but everyone sees his truck around. Lol.



And the shifter, its decent to grab it an inch or a few below the top spike. Its comfortable enough I guess. Its not that heavy, all 1/8" wall tube.

[tom w.]

it ain't all that intense. if you look at some rat rods you'll see all kinds of shifters. i seen one guy had a meat cleaver on the top.

[Twisted Minis]

Some pictures Manny took yesterday.

[crawlerdan]

you do have some talent man, definately...i think it may be harder to do all that with ifs then half the crap we do with solid axles and such...good work

[DTB]

ya this thread almost makes me wanna buy a second, smaller toyota...... 

[46&2]

So does the four wheel drive still work?? 

[BLACKDOG]

So does the four wheel drive still work?? 

Dude, that shifter is crazy.  I met a guy who rolled his jeep, and he just didn't have a shift knob on the stock shifter, and wound up stabbing himself on it   spent a few months in the hospital.  That thing just looks wicked.    glad he's not wheeling with it!

So when do you get your toy back?  I'm looking forward to seeing more of that   that thing is so clean, its gonna look awesome when its done

I haven't heard much on it. I told them I wanted it for a show up here on June 24th, so they said they would try for that. So cross your fingers I get it back by then.

I got a bench seat for my truck today, gonna see how much ti will cost to get it repaired and recovered.

[TacoStewie]

the truck is lookin good.


the shifter looks kinda like a deer antler

[90toy]

it aint that low. i think you should go lower J/K that is awesome man i have always loved slammed cars/trucks, i wish my jetta was that low but the roads in Newfoundlad dont allow it. keep up the good work.

[Twisted Minis]

Yeah pretty much everyone says it looks like an antler now. I just can't get it right. It was a schlong now its a deer antler, now the guy wants it changed again because he saw what everyone was writing on SSM... Lol.

[82 HiLux]

the bed looks a little high
