Oddball80 with matching trailer

[wngrog]

Both sides had the same areas of rust.

All done. Now to make some tail lights ....

and here I had naively assumed like forever that all vehicles from the Middle East would be rust free...
That thing must have had a wild life.

This all probably was the guy I got it from. It was left outside and was full of leaves. These places that are rusted are just wet traps.

40 series lights and brackets. Pulled the lights back off for paint shop.

Paint is done, stripes are being designed at a local shop. Wired up the lights. I think it’s ready for a trip soon ...

You can take a trip up here with it when you sell it to me.

Have you ever been able to identify the trailer maker? Sorry if this was covered earlier in the thread. Turned out great!!!

Im convinced it was a one off made in Saudi. The metal work once we blasted off the bondo looks very 3rd world. Lots of hammer and heat.

Looks really nice. Great setup all around.

I got the stripes installed. I’m stoked how it turned out

I must say that the stripes on the truck look really pretty nice. Retro, sure, but in a nice way. Well done.

(just noticed that the trailer is 5 lugs so likely not matching the 80 if the latter is like most. Plans for the trailer to be 6 - if you haven't discussed this earlier already- ?)

That’s not in the plans. I’m not worried about matching the lugs

Truck stripes are OEM Toyota

This thing towed great with 1500# in it and even empty

I was super impressed. I ran the tires at 18# all 2000 miles loaded and unloaded. No issues at all.

Mud shipping. A great excuse to tow the trailer!
