Okay, here we go.

Bought it because my Mercedes was in a wreck, his fault and we took a 3500 dollar check.

May '10


Got it for 2K, from my GPA, good hands.

I needed a decent radio, seeing the fact that i drive about 1.5 hrs a day!
Soo... kenwood deck with direct ipod hook up CD and HD radio and plugged away for a night.
Final Product:

That Electrical tape up on top, was the product of frustration and the sheer fact that the clip behind it would not go in, so i cut it off. i will file it down next time when i put my sub in but for now, i will live.



Cosmetics



Wheeled the living shit out of it.





Now i knew what i needed.

A LOCKER.

But i cant afford it then because... the alternator and battery both simultaneously took a crap.




Killing time, got a rear tube bumper put on, some minor things.





cleaned out a work shed for me to have a shop!



Rims!

Im painting these, i love them the way they are, but i like them without scuffs and faded alloy... more.

One, sanded down, now painted.

And... happy posting!

 

nice man!!!! love the build!! keep it goin!!

 

nice rig bro, have you considered swapping out the 3.0 for the much better 3.4?

 

Thanks man! I will take your advice, haha.

Yes, everyday. I wish i had the funds for such surgery, because i would love to. Thanks though!

 

Your Mercedes was such win.

 

Also, your truck is coming along nicely! I can't wait to see it!

 

all clean!

 

Well if you would stop neglecting me lets go for a ride duuuuude

I dont really know what you mean Derek! I loved it so much

I agree, anything dealing with me, and win... wins. Hahahaha thanks

 

Looking good! I'll meet you at one of the up coming trail runs I'm sure.

 

For sure man! You'll recognize me easily, im the only one without a taco it seems:/

 

Very Nice Job With the truck! So when you gonna join SocalTacomas for a fun trail run?

 

He said he wants to go camping on the Ocotillo run!

 

Well i have planned and made commitments to both Superstition, and the upcoming Ocotillo runs, and any other close ones i have, and thank you ever so much!

Correct!

 

lift it!!!

 

Only two inches! And then put 32's on it, and re gear it, then lock the front

 

I had fun today

 

^sweet nice truck

 

Well guys, im only getting power out of cylinders 2,4,&6.

Time for a re-build.

 

About to start pulling things from the motor for either the timing belt or a whole new motor. Whichever holds the issue. Going to order (on monday) Front and rear Diffs with 4.88 gear ratios with F&R Lockright lockers. My Aussie has reeked havoc on my old 3rd.

 

Made some progress yesterday. Heading to the valve shop tomorrow to see what happened with it, because the gasket and physical condition is flawless. If i can get away with only one side, that would be nice, but i want to make sure that i don't have to go back later and do it. I have no problem with doing both, but my dad might. I've payed for everything including beer thus far, and did most the work, he just pointed and commented, so the chances of him being patient enough for both sides is not impossible.
