Very nice Dan, what a find very clean dent free. Thats got to be new paint or it was a garage queen all its life. I dig the sliders it looks like they were thinking about wheeling it. Is that the geolander tires? It looks like the ones I have on the 80.

I'm sure you already checked though. I know thats the case with my Dads Tundra vs my Moms Sequioa. 2000lbs difference towing.

No worries. I was surprised ... I just thought the turning radius was a football field.

Nice truck Dan. That thing looks brand new. So when does the top come off?

yes those are geo's 285 75's. body work less than 9mos ago. i kinda believe that with the locker sliders and tires that was the route that was going.

well it is still a bit hot for the top to come off. maybe southern cruisers crawl. after either a sfttop or bikini top haven't decided.

I will post some pics tonight of what we took when we went to go look at them.

I looked up the towing capacity in the owner's manual and its states 9100 lbs. for the 2wd or 4wd Armada. Now, all I need is to locate the trailer for rent/borrow.

Here are the pics of the two new 40's that I bought. Notice the grey one is the one that I will eventually sell/part out. The red one is the one that I am going to try and do a complete restoration on...notice the floor boards and wells, that is what I am excited about. I plan on spending about 12 months on the restoration taking everything apart and sandblasting and re-painting her the original red color. Then I am going to go back with all OEM parts that are missing. I already have a name for her..."Mud Bug".

[moomtazz]

Looks good Eric!

[lostinafog]

sooooo when you planing to bring them home?

[Doable]

Eric, Nice rig you have there. I like the way the floor of the tub looks. Do all 40 start out RED ?

I told her that it was "doctor's orders"...any chance you could write me a prescription for that. We can even say that the addiction is some sort of illness...I might be on to something here!

can start by we go to our MD`s with vague complaints.

then we will go wheelin return inform MD feel much better!

a week or two later complain again to MD go whellin dito.

let Scott write paper in the journal about his exhaustive study in this new affliction this would require for Scott to go wheelin then you can write off ALL exp as job related and the need for more than one research vehicle tools etc.

in about a year add to the report how well the treatment works!
mean time start having outbreaks all over the IH8MUD community And how they are experimenting with DR Scott treatment.

Hell I can see in a few years could even if we play our cards right have it covered by medical insurance!!


Man I am starting to feel puny already

Good find and I know you'll sure polish that jem. I'm glad to see those rims and tires worked good for someone.

It's the truck John picked up to salvage parts from to do his SAS. It's an 85 soild axle EFI extra cab.I think I can on it and turn it into a nice working truck again.

[BikerTrash]

Whoa... (tries to think of something positive to say about alberts new truck)

Atleast your starting with the best year, wish i had found an 85 when I got the 4runner.

but serisouly that thing looks rough, Your going to Flatbed it and build a cage I hopes if I ever get my gumption up the 4runner is going to turn into something nasty and I am always willing to learn from the experiance of others.

The more I look at it though the more I relaise except for the bed it really doesnt look that much worse than my 4runner did when I bought it. you going to go through the trouble of hunting down an IFS rear for it?

[John Stw]

Great progress Albert, glad to see a Toyota axle under it. Its really not that rough one of those shade tree paint jobs and matching wheels it will be good as new. Lets track down that title so it can go on the street one day.
