remove hard top and recycle...get new softtop made
















in photos the color looks horrible. the truck has "show car paint", whatever that means other than house of colors this or that, and i can say my intention was to re-paint when I bought it but over time it grew on me (quickly) and now I love it. feel free to hate on it here though, because i agree it looks horrible in photos.

Photos from when it was first built by Rod Millen:





the doors are quite heavy believe it or not. must've been a lot of structural work done.

 

maybe if colors matched

 

I dig it!

So clean!

 

oh noooow u add all the other pics. looks good with top off

 

Wasn't this truck or one similar for sale recently?
Still a sweet ride

 

it was for sale in Dec/jan and I bought it from the dude in fresno who bought it from the guy who did the youtube video...who bought it from Toyota NA. I am trying to get it back to as-built spec.

 

Truck is all around sick! I would drive the piss out of it though and get those miles up haha

 

I agree and plan on it once I get the bumpers sorted out and the friggin horn working. Had a near miss one day and it scared the hell out of me - pretty funny seeing my dopey ass leaning on a horn that don't work!

 

I think the truck is sweet.
So when are the bumpers ganna be sold?
I maybe building some but if you sell them before that
Im in southern orgon so I maybe interested.

 

darkshark - in next 2 weeks I think...price will be fair. will send you details by PM

 

update with original build pix from 2000-2001. can anyone id these wheels?

and

would anyone have a guess as to what shop might have done a softtop for this thing in SoCal? it was lost somewhere along the way or over the years...

 

This truck has been floating around for awhile now

 

actually its been sitting in my storage for a while now...doesn't really float much but it does get dusty all tucked away in there.

 

Sounds good I'm headed to palm springs in a few weeks so I could pick them up.

 

goddamn sexy!!!

 

will try to get to eastbay mod day and bring the jack-o-lantern along

 

i bought the original OEM bumpers (front and rear) back and will be getting them installed at norcal EastBay mod day...

 

How much for the rear ap? We have the same front

 

going in for a custom soft top soon and dumping the stupid hard top
