almost ready to get it registered, some new tires and i should be able to go anywhere. seems ive been working on it off and on forever, new motor, clutch, brake system, suspension lift etc, all the stuff that doesnt show. the things unstoppable in low, i tested it last year when the clutch broke on the side of the building, all four wheels kept spinning :whistle: needs some rod holders

    I still swear that your convertible pick up is the only one I have ever seen in my life! Besides that driving one in "sunny MA"!!! :laugh:

    BTW I steamed some Pearls last night and actually like the results better than grilling them - tasted entirely different! Those puppies swell up vs. shrinking.

    I have to agree with Sparky all the way, the old Yoda's are in a class all their own. A friend had one and it was a great 4X4. I would wash it at your own risk. :lol:

    Friend had one of these in Arizona. It was unstoppable. Sure wish Toyota hadn't wimped out and kept making them. Darn thing could climb a tree in low.

    somewhere down the line it will get painted, was thinking rust would be a good color so that it will match when it bleeds. going to drive it daily for a while to work the rest of the bugs out, it was sitting for a long time before i got it

    wish they would just come back with a straight forward simple truck again, 20 years back when i bought the dodge sitting next to it i wanted rubber matts, roll up windows, etc because i knew i would be driving it forever, instead i have carpets that get soggy on fishing trips, power windows and door locks that are getting problematic etc. the toyota really is unstoppable, it will be fishing in maine come next spring climbing over those trees :laugh:

    those trucks... have definite "cool " factor..... a pal of mine had his jeep sprayed entirely with "rhinolining"...he theory is that the coating will still be there even after all the metal has disappeared entirely... lol

    was thinking about putting it in the bed area, might be a good idea to coat the whole rear tub section in an out, that seems to be the worst area on these for rot. down the road if it runs well enough theres a place nearby with aluminum tub sections, looks simple enough to change out the whole back section
