Thanks. The next MA Ed. is going to be in school administration. Not that I'd ever want to go into administration. I have way too much fun going to work every day. I'm not gonna screw that up by getting a desk job.

Plans for the new pig is to fix up the body and turn it into a dd replacement for the 80. I'd like to tow the war pig with it, so plans might be to stretch it. It needs to be reliable and not a step backwards from the 80 in terms of ride quality and the ability to get me to work every single day. To do that, I'm looking to put it on a more modern Toyota frame. After driving the wife's FJC, I might just try to find a wrecked one and put it on that. Wheelbase is the same and WMS to WMS is manageable. I'm keeping an eye out on the insurance auction sites. Any info from someone in the business of buying from those auctions would surely be appreciated. There's one in Jersey right now with 800 miles on it.

I thought I'd go ahead and start documenting the process. Figured I might just clean up this thread and move it out of classifieds.

So here goes...
