Post your poverty spec !!!

I like the profile picture haha

 

Haha I was just just joking though. I ain't shady.

Thanks man

 

Does that mean I should lose the wheels

 

Put oem ones on
People often give them away for free

 

Not around here they don't haha. I kinda liked them better than factory ones but if I find some better looking wheels wrapped with something decent I'll jump on it because I need a winter set and normal set anyway.

 

The day I bought mine.

2000 DLX
Manual trans
Manual transfer case
Manual hubs
Manual windows
Manual locks

Air conditioning, and 4x4 are the only options. No locker or clock. 2.7L of inline 4 fury.

 

Currently modified for quick overland travel.

 

LOVE IT!! Any interior shots?

Should I consider mine DLX? I have been calling it SR

How many miles?

 

Id post mine, but it has a clock. And power things

 

Also, depending on what year that Elise is, it may have the same engine that my Corolla has. Although fancied up a bit.

 

Not sure, but that's what it says when I run my vin.

It's got 192k miles as of today.

 

Interior is excellent for its age. I bought a set of seat covers from marathon ASAP. Easier to pull them off and wash than it is to try and clean upholstery.

 

more like " Budget Spec " ?

'cuz true poverty sees you riding the bus or perhaps pushing a cart !? Lol

-----------------

Some of us poorer folk whom can even afford a vehicle...
Likely own little else Lol
and have spent the last 16 years saving our pennies
in order to do our mods one project at a time.

Now we're becoming too old to enjoy them

Not an overnite sense of gratification by any means.
That's fer 'dem rich peeps.

As a poor SOB
I had to do some serious scrimping, saving, learning
and then supply a whole lot of free labor. (me)

Took me almost a year just to recondition and alter my trailer for camping use.
Not a whole lot of money... but a whole lotta labor (blood, sweat ~n~ tears/smashed thumbs)

Never even owned or used a welder before starting my trailer re-build.
But if there's a will (need)... there's a way (means)

Even if my efforts/choices were deemed "Poverty Spec"
I wouldn't purchase nor install inferior chit for any of my vehicles.

Save 'dem pennies, do it right and only once.
then spend the rest of your ownership (life) trying to maintain all of it. Lol

good luck wit' yer money pits

 

Same miles and same motor as me

 

Some day we will be rich and have SR5 like you

 

I suppose mine is poverty spec cause it says LX and I have to wind my windows up by hand lol. But it did come with cruise, A/C, clock, tach, and my rear window opens. I guess mine came with factory alloys too, IDK you guys decide if it was cheap enough, it does have the 4cyl and a 5-speed so it ain't too fancy lol I couldn't deal with the shitty ripped cloth 60/40 seats so I did steal some limited 4Runner seats tho.

Obligatory baby truck photo of when I got her...

Interior when I had done my second seat swap to the limited leather...

And current not as poverty exterior...

 

Heh... I basically gave mine away. $100 for all four shiny/clean alloys and even the stock steel spare

Some guy in Spokane with a 2nd gen 4Runner rolling around with them now

 

Great thread!

 

I thought there was no more manual front hubs since like '92!

 

Here is my poverty spec.

Manual everything (trans, diff, hubs, windows, locks)
NO clock
NO tach
NO low fuel light
NO slider window
Solid bench seat
89k


only mods so far have been LED's in gauges and dome light, 20" LED bar up front and shining up the paint. Will be fun to add lift, bigger tires, etc. as time/money permit, but in no hurry since this was a hand me down from my dad.
