That doesn't look too hard... What could go wrong?
Well guys since the FJ is gone, I wanted another rig to wheel with and build on over the next while.
I loved the capability of the FJC and all the luxuries, but, I was always scared I wouldn't make it home after the weekend. I really wanted a dedicated trail rig. So I started my search for a beater...
I found a for sale post on Hardline and decided to call and chat with the PO. He was a young guy in north/central AL. He bought the truggy put seats in it and played a little and then sold it. It's a 79 Toyota with Dirty Thirty chromolly axles in front, high steer,38" tsl swampers with 15" bead locks. It has dual transfer cases, rear drive shaft disconnect with separate rear braking, separate throttle on shifter as well as floorboard, front fenders have been bobbed/dove-nosed, full exocage, stinger, 15 gal. gas tank, asin hubs, welded front and rear, 4 speed transmission, chevy leafs on rear, Toyota on front, pro comp shocks, the 2.2l 4 cylinder (20r) motor with off road weber carburetor, k&n filter, and 8000 lb winch to push, hurl, or drag this ROCKet ship to infinity and beyond!.... The shop.
She needs some TLC, but I have HUGE expectations from her. It will be a great base to start my 4 link truggy on.
So, Without further adieu....
I present...
My Lil' Monster.
