Picked up this Craigslist special today. Pretty complete truck, but has not been started in over a decade. PO was midway through the install of a generic wiring harness (first to go). Fuel tank likely shot, but otherwise it should fire up with some TLC. Clutch and brake cylinders are both toast, so will replace those too. Goal is to get mildly safe to drive before deciding what direction to go with it. Might do a very light resto-mod on it - bar hopper and grocery getter thing for the kiddos.
The PO installed an FJ40 tire swing (next to go) and basic Harbor Freight trailer brake/turn lights (going tomorrow too).
The spare wheel does not match the other four. Not sure if it's a Nissan or maybe Toyota. Any guesses?
If anyone is a Patrol guru, hit me up.
The patina unfortunately is non-original paint, over primer, over OEM paint. So, my original plan to keep the patina might give way to a new paint job going back to the OEM blue.
Only had for 5 hours, so still in the early planning stages.
