I this Toyota paint scheme!!

How could you not? It gets looks everywhere I go. I heard from my coworkers that everyone in the parking lot was stopping to check it out on their way into work.

Looks good  i am glad to see it go to someone  that will take care of it and enjoy it .   i will pm you a list of everything that was done to it

PM received  :biggthumpup:

I plan on taking very good care of her. I really want to clean up all the little surface rust and give her a paint job. Same exact shceme as now. All the decals you put on, I want to get painted on. But gotta get the funds first. Either way I want to keep the body as is. No Chopping and bobbing for me. I need room for gear and Dogs lol.

It's gonna be awesome! I'll get some pics of the first time we go out. 
Wait... What?

Coming from you that's quite the compliment! I know I have a lot to live up too lol.

Did some really light stuff out at Walker Valley this weekend. Tried lower mainline but someone had popped a tire off so we wandered off and promptly got lost lol.  :hammerhead: But it was fun. Got to see her flex a little, managed to pop both the Mudflaps off (just had zip ties hanging them on) going to be fixing that soon to something that can be taken off.

A few pics. Didn't get any shots while wheeling lol. I'll have to work on that next time....

If you go to the industrial/farming section of your local Napa auto parts, they should have a semi truck big rig mud flap kit. You get a huge piece of rubber that you can cut down into like 6 toyota flaps, and 2 quick disconnect weld on mud flap pieces that consist of a frame mount and flap hanger that clips in with a cotter pin. You can also make your own but this kit is like $40 and comes with plenty of extra rubber for the flaps you will inevitably tear off accidentally.

So it's been awhile. Figured I would updated what's going on lol.

So the Ring and Pinion disintegrated on me took out the Right Wheel bearing/seal with it. That's currently in the Shop getting fixed right now because I don't have the time/space to mess with the bearings sadly...

I wanted to upgrade from 4.88 to 5.29's. But the extra cost of doing the front too was too much to swallow at this point. So it's going to stay at 4.88's.

The area around the windsheld is leaking so that's going to go to the shop and get the glass replaced and resealed. Hopefully take care of  that little problem.

What do you guys think of Bushwacker fender flares? I was thinking of getting some of the big ones to keep the cops off my  :moon:. I've already been pulled over by a Stater saying my bumper is too high, fenders don't cover enough of the tire etc. He left me off with a warning, but shortly after that the rear  :reg: so I haven't had to worry about it lol.

Anyways after I get it out of the shop I'm going to hit up Walker Valley again and hopefully this time we can actually do a trail  :yikes:
