well i picked up a new project im not to sure what im gonna do with it yet.
it was a fun little adventure going to get it all the way down in L.A.  I traded it 4 a car  i  had sitting around the yard. so i figured id rather have solid axle runner siitin in the yard than a car i dont drive.
it may end up getting parted out since the motor is toast, or i may attempt a body swap on to my 86 short bed im not too sure but i couldnt pass it up just for all the good parts. This is my 3rd toyota 4x4 that i currently own and my 5th all together.
 Any way here are some pics of the truck and the road trip to LA


ps check out these cool wheels anyone know what they are?  my favorite part of the deal besides the 85 axle

here's the inside and the cool stocks with 235 rollers

but ya the downside is the motor is shot and it looks like someone pulled an allnight meth binge on the engine harness.  but i love the 2 sets of wheels

i dont know yet i got too many trucks and i cant even afford to register them, i wouldnt have got it but we worked out a good trade and the previous owner chipped in some cash for gas.

i was maybe thinking of putting the body on my truck frame, then putting the body off of my other runner on to the solid axle frame, then selling all the leftover parts.

but anyway heres  my other two yotas     let me know what youd do in my situation

I was gonna ask you how well it towed before I saw this. Im impressed, and I was having doubts on towing my pickup with my pops FJ80.

im not sayin it was great but it did 45 up the grapevine and averaged about 15 mpg, it was a little scary comin down considering the load was around 5200 pounds

that t100 has towed a 24 foot 5th wheel to alaska
