Truck did great on the Old School ride. I had wanted to get a front bumper on before the ride but didn't quite make it. Anyway, I got the front crossmember strengthened up and welded in some m12 nuts to bolt into and now the truck has a winch bumper that you can actually use for recovery. Kind...
An opportunity to drive in a really cool event put the 1981 Toyota 4WD flatbed project into high gear as I push to finish this build in less than 2 weeks. It will see a lot of hard road and trail miles, so it needs to be solid reliable ol' truck to keep up.
Installed AP HighSteer kit and rebuilt the knuckles and after a dozen rolls of paper towels and a case of brakeclean I finally have a video to share with you guys!
I attempted to upload some photos but got the message that my files were too large. Ill have to get them hosted or get a website of my own to host them on so that I can share some photos here. Til that time, I have another youtube video up and will share it here with you guys for convenience...

I rebuilt the Weber carburetor, ordered a pressure regulator and a trans-dapt intake adapter from Summit and headed back to the truck to install the parts and try to get it home. It didn't go well lol. The intake adapter has a port that leaked vacuum even though it didn't match up on the...
I've got a clear title for it. If all goes well, I'll have it back out on the road soon. The diffs are either spooled or welded, haven't been inside it yet, but should still be good to haul stuff to the dump or make a run to the hardware store in town. With that said, I won't be selling the...
The Toyota Beater Build has begun, and I made a video to document the process. Check out one of the latest things I've purchased to annoy my wife and hopefully be entertained in the process. If you like the video, share it with your buddies. If you don't like the video, then share it with all...
