There should be some new rigs showing up in here soon. Here is my new DD junk. If you saw it Monday you wouldn't think it was the same rig.

Nice Rig
Larry,
That looks like a really nice rig. Also, I didn't get a chance to see you last weekend to give you my condolences about the 40.
Sorry and Congrats,
Eric

Like it had been on a long journey and no cleaning in a long while.

Thanks Albert. No I wish I had found one in the short time I had to get one. This one was equipped like I wanted and from a fellow mudder who had two of them. It does have the factory diff locks and plenty goodies so I'm happy with the purchase.

Man looking at yours and Mike they look like 30K rigs. We just look at things different I could not see my self taking those rigs off road.   to you because I know they are very capable and over built like all Toyota's.

Long story short it has some bumps and bruises from a recent accident you may see in the other threads but its still ready for action.

Looks good I had a red 93 just like it. Now that you found the right group of guys its time to cut the IFS off and go with a solid axle.

i knew ya'll were going to say that (about the axle) but i think im going to work on other pieces first. i dont think im going to make enough trail rides to warrant spending the money and time to swap axles right now.

Thats to bad the best part of it all is the trail rides.  Once you do you'll be hooked.

I'll second that ! It's a close place to wheel and the IFS will work just fine .Wheel that truck . Give a call if you need help the Toyota or any of the guys on here for that matter. They have a lot on time working on Toyota's.

Mike I really want to take a good look at it man. It looks sweet. Is it correct that in 2010 it will be much easier to import these? I think this might be what I will go with down the road. I was really impressed with that one in Alabama.
