Hey there everyone.just wanted to stop in and say hey.just got my first toyota,1981 shortbed,5inch lift 35'' all terrains,traded my cherokee for it.probably one of the best decisions of my life to get rid of that jeep.i hope to get alot of info and great knowledge from everybody and hopefully be able to help out others as i learn.Ill post pics up later.

yeah me to.i ahve been wanting a toyota for along time.the jeep was falling apart.the guy traded me straight across for it.Lets just say my fiancee wasnt to happy about the trade.she liked the jeep.but oh well.i got some stuff to do to it.the rear shackle angle sucks so i am going to get either 63'' chevys or some marlins.i also want to move my front axle forward.i have a laundry list of stuff i want to do to it.ill start a build thread once i get some parts accumulated.and ill try and get some pictures up soon.

Very clean looking truck man! F jeeps, i think i'd rather push my toyota up a 5+ trail after the tires fell off than drive a jeep ANYWHERE

Thanks,yeah i was getting really tired of the heep,it only had a 3'' lift on it and stuff is just to expensive for it.plus it wasnt a pickup which i didnt like.I like the fact of being able to throw something in the bed.I got alot of plans for this truck and MarlinCrawler has inspired alot of what i want to do.

thanks for the kind words,Once i get some more parts gathered then i will start a build threa for it.I am getting a welded rear 3rd from a freind and some 4'' lift springs that i am going to put in the front,Then i just got to go to pick and pull and find some 63'' chevys and get all the little stuff for the swap.
