    I've been creeping around here for a year now, figured if I started a build thread it would create some accountability for me to actually do something.

    Here's what I'm working with:

    1995.5 3RZ 5-speed 4x4 3.58 gears:bananadead:
    Cobalt Blue/Rust


    Currently
    K&N
    31x10.50's on $100 rattlecan'd 1987 aluminum wheels
    Replaced plugs, wires, belts (had the 1995 originals on it)
    New leaf springs
    Fixed the a/c
    New clutch
    Tint
    Stuff


    Plans
    Full coilovers
    Sliders
    E-Locker swap with at least 4.30's
    AP Expo springs
    MT/R's with Kevlar
    Twin-stick
    4.7's
    Bumper and armor
    Winch
    Usual accessories
    ARE shell

    The day after I bought it, I saw the Frankenstein build and absolutely fell in love with how it looked, so that's my main point of inspiration. But being where I am (Missouri) and what I use it for (farm chores, pulling domestics out of the mud, hauling 4 wheelers, pulling my 14ft sailboat, and driving around town at college) it'll be different. My brother and I both love tinkering with stuff, so he and I are going to do little things to this while we work on our other, numerous projects.


    Enough talk.


    2nd day I owned it:

    My friend liked mine so much he bought on of his own!

    Going to feed the calves, better take some poser shots:

    Doing chores over Christmas Break:

    Mods are coming as soon as I can bring myself to spend the money, college ain't cheap.

    I'm planning a trip to Colorado or Moab for spring break next year, so I've got some work to do before then. Thanks for all the help you guys have been already. I'm looking forward to see what I can make of this thing.
