Ok, so I found this toyota on craigslist with no price on it, and it said best offer. I shot the guy an email (toyoder knows him) and asked him if he would trade for work. The guy replyed and said that he didnt need anything done, but thankyou.

This is what it looked like on the ad. 2wd 95' yota



2 weeks later, I ended up recieveing an email from him, saying that he needed it gone and I could mow his lawn 8 times

So we brought it back to toyoders house, and him and zukinstien were giving me a really hard time about putting it together. It was just hard to get it off/on the trailer.

[yota8]

So... we ended up putting on the axles that i got with them (85'blazer 10bolt)
With some tires and rims yoder had laying around





Put on a grill yoder had, its an 84 grill i think, but dont quote me on it.



Really clean interior.



Then, I was missing a WHOLE bunch of parts, and this one kid at my school had this 90' toyota 2wd, that had a 22re blown head gasket, and everything else was pretty clean. He just gave me for FREE (w00t)

So we went and picked up that today, and toyoder said that has to be one of the best freebies he has ever seen.





Special thanks to Toyoder for helping me with this project And Yodersgirl for letting me park this heap over there for the mean time. :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

The color that will end up being on it would be kawasaki green, with 2 black racing stripes down the middle.



And it will eventually be bobed, with an black exo, 2 t-cases, Cut fenders, 35" tires

This is a pick of the fenders cut and bobed (photochop)

Oh yeah!! And we added buggy springs...

[yodersgirl]

cool a litte bit of knowledge from everyone is alway good to have we need to expand his brain on the life of a toyota owner :headbanger: thats such a good filling being a toyota owner I know It's a warm and fuzzy filling (w00t)

[yota8]

So, today I have been pretty busy, so I havent really been working on my truck that much. But so far this is what ive done today... Just minor little stuff.

I took off the bed from the white truck and moved it onto the geen.





Took off the flashers and rear lights and put them on...





Me and zukinstien took off the vaulve cover, to check if the milky oil could have been from the timming chain guides wernt broke. But with my luck its a headgasket

Tommorow I will probably do a hood swap and hook up the windsheild whipers...

I also got a new cb radio and antenna
