I pulled the split rims off the other day and installed some 33's I had as a take off from a project 40 so I could put some miles on it to see if it's sound
We also installed some cool period correct stripes before it left Saudi.
The truck got all new weatherstrip all around, some paint correction and new locks/keys.
Looking at my notes we did about $3500 in OEM parts and $2000 in paint work
This thing is wicked fast. We had the carb rebuilt before it left Rhiahd by the same dude that has done all of my other trucks and damn. He did something special to this one. The secondary literally explodes when you floor it. I actually chickened out and stopped the speed here. I bet it has 170-175 in it

While I'm waiting for the slow ass DMV here in Mississippi to get me a clean title I'm going to do a few things to it to make it ready for resale.
First up is a Terrain Tamer parabolic suspension
Got a nice bunch of Saudi trucks in the house right now
Pulled it in about 2 and got busy
Look how rust free and clean this thing is. Truly amazing
Rear is in place and I'll do the front tomorrow. Can't wait to see how it sits

Check out how insanely clean this truck is underneath. Mind you it is 27 year old. Crazy. I also love how these trucks all have OEM Toyota parts when they do maintenance

My caption is wrong. This thing has 114,000 km which is closer to 70,000
Here is a video I made for the guy that said he wanted it so I imported it for him.
Then he ghosted me. He offered to give me a deposit and I mistakenly trusted him.
Oh well, his lost.

Sweet truck. Too bad for the ghost, this'll sell!
Meshal,
You are proven miracle. I have confidence that you can find more exceptionally clean trucks. Watching eagerly from the sidelines at what you find next. Kudos to you sir.

That was another guy whose wife would not let him have it with no airbags.

Got the front installed with some new swaybar links.
Look how crazy clean this hardware is. The washers were still gold
This is the swaybar ends I use. They sell at Auto Zone and they fit 70s and 60s.
The Terrain Tamer steering dampener comes pre assembled on the ends with grease zerks. Very nice.
This is what i went from to (silver)
3" front and 4" rear

Those wheel wells are begging for some 35x10.5 kanati mud hogs! Looks fantastic. Rad truck. Do they have clean 73's like this in Saudi?
