I told her that it was "doctor's orders"...any chance you could write me a prescription for that. We can even say that the addiction is some sort of illness...I might be on to something here!

can start by we go to our MD`s with vague complaints.

then we will go wheelin return inform MD feel much better!

a week or two later complain again to MD go whellin dito.

let Scott write paper in the journal about his exhaustive study in this new affliction this would require for Scott to go wheelin then you can write off ALL exp as job related and the need for more than one research vehicle tools etc.

in about a year add to the report how well the treatment works!
mean time start having outbreaks all over the IH8MUD community And how they are experimenting with DR Scott treatment.

Hell I can see in a few years could even if we play our cards right have it covered by medical insurance!!


Man I am starting to feel puny already

Good find and I know you'll sure polish that jem. I'm glad to see those rims and tires worked good for someone.

It's the truck John picked up to salvage parts from to do his SAS. It's an 85 soild axle EFI extra cab.I think I can on it and turn it into a nice working truck again.

 

[BikerTrash]

Whoa... (tries to think of something positive to say about alberts new truck)

Atleast your starting with the best year, wish i had found an 85 when I got the 4runner.

but serisouly that thing looks rough, Your going to Flatbed it and build a cage I hopes if I ever get my gumption up the 4runner is going to turn into something nasty and I am always willing to learn from the experiance of others.

The more I look at it though the more I relaise except for the bed it really doesnt look that much worse than my 4runner did when I bought it. you going to go through the trouble of hunting down an IFS rear for it?

 

[John Stw]

Great progress Albert, glad to see a Toyota axle under it. Its really not that rough one of those shade tree paint jobs and matching wheels it will be good as new. Lets track down that title so it can go on the street one day.

[crazy cajun]

first step is the windsheild coming next week i have a friend that installs them and made my call to put it in. thats what a soft ball will do to it

 

[third coast cruisers]

If I remember right there was a title issue with cab coming out of the junk yard. If the PO still had the VIN tag with matching title just swap them when the windshield is out. But great addition for Y'all Matt & Tina, looks like when the motor runs its trail ready.

 

[Doable]

Congrats on the new Toyota. That steering wheel only comes on SR5 models with the full tack dash if so great find.

I don't understand about it being an 83 . The sheet metal looks 84 and above. Do you have a good picture of the front axle the length of the gusset will indicate what year it is. None of that matters those are very very dependable trucks.

 

[Bodean]

I was thinking the same thing when I saw it. I thought they changed to that body style in 84. What do I know though! Going to be a great little truck!

Later,

 

[crazy cajun]

well i will try n take a pik of the axle for yall to figure it out they said it was an 83 and 84 parts mixed the cab is one an the rest is the other yr hopefully we can figure this this out lol.........tina
