Have you already put your wish list together for mods?

So many mods, so little money.

That sounds like a good place to start. I went with 285 as well, but I tried the Nitto Terra Grapplers and have been very pleased so far. Next thing up is the OME lift, sliders, bumpers, winch and....................well we will see.

Welcome Dan,
From a fellow Cruiser and fellow Denverite. Lots of of us around the city if you need anything, There also is a great club called Rising Sun you could check out. Lots of 80 owners in the club. Also, with Club Membership you get discounts at Burt Toyota and Stevenson Toyota. Your TLCA membership will get you a discount at Mount States. Cruiser Dan (Here on Mu) is my preffered parts supplier.

Lot of the work you can do yourself. Sometimes you need a mechanic. I have found a good one in the south metro area that I prefer to the Dealers, Toy Car Care on south Potomic. If your on the west side of town, Slee Off Road is a great shop and does more than just sliders. They are a full service shop.

Welcome, glad you were patient and found what you were looking for. Now post some pics!

Ken

[Romer]

Pics need to be less than 80K in mem size and 640x480 in dimensions. Also must be a jpeg file Most good photo programs will let you reduce the image.

You could e-mail them to me and I'll post them for you. Go to my profile and select e-mail. It's also on the Rising sun profile.

[cc93cruiser]

no whimpy running boards, cool.

 

[wesone]

Hey, we pretty much got the same 80... only mine is a 94. You got leather or cloth? I also have whimpy running boards... I've been debating on removing them.

MF34INC nice lookin truck. Mines got gray leather, I would lose the running boards

 

[wesone]

You got lucky... this truck had brown cloth. I think its ugly as hell. I plan on brightening it up with tan leather real soon. Truck was in excellent condition so I grabbed it up for 10k.
