    I used to see a POS Rambler station wagon all the time on my commute. He spray painted the words "GONZO WORKMOBILE" on the back and sides, and everybody got out of his way. He had the easiest commute of all of us.

    Does that POS actually drive....? Put it out in the yard, cover it in lights, and use it as a redneck Christmas yard ornament.

    She's gone but not forgotten.
    I'd take the bed off and build a flatbed out of PT wood. Then weld some shock mounts on it and install air shocks, get at least the rear end up off the ground.

    Eyesore right now, but at heart it's still a Tacoma, so it's got potential.

    Give it to chris4x4 and see how far in the air he can get it by exploding common household products underneath it.

    There it is raised up. If I could get it to stay at that ride height and not ride like shit, then I would do it. If I cared anymore about this truck I might be upset by some of these comments but I'm having a pretty good laugh, lol.

    When I say 500$ worth of car parts, I mean this truck was thrown in on a deal that I was going to make EITHER WAY. The truck was essentially a free score, as it didn't run very well when I got it. I just figured I could make some coin off it, which I will do at some point, I just do not have time to fuck with people who want to jerk me around over it. Glad everyone is having a good time with it though, not quite the reaction I expected (OK WELL MAYBE IT IS). LOL

    that truck is actually at a pretty good point for you if you like 4x4s and have a little $$ and interest in it

    convert the front to solid axle...link and lift the rear...remove the bed and put a tube bed on it
