Picked up a clean '85 toyota x-cab today for $800:cheer: Motor is locked up(no oil). Its full loaded though. sr5 dash, pw, ps, cruise, read defrost, buckets and console, efi, 30x9.5 a/t's on 15x7 outlaws, sunroof, clarion cd player, off brand amp and sub, 125,xxx origional miles.

No a/c, missing wiper motor bumper lights, and hubs, but I can deal with that. Crappy cell phone pics but I'll get good ones tomorrow after noon.

Well I rolled it out and washed it today to get rid of the wasp nest and little spiders. Pushed it back in around 7:30 and almost got everything off the motor. I'm hoping to get it pulled tomorrow(if only it was running so I could go pick up the cherry picker). Heres some more Pics, still the cell phone cause the wife had the camera :bs:

Well I didnt get much done today. I stayed inside and played with the kids(felt guilty about bein in the garage the last few days). But while they were eating dinner I snuck out and built a cardboard bumper. Still dont have the camera with a flash though.

Its basically a copy of the TG winch mount with end caps instead of tubing. It's gonna be a DD so I think a tube bumper would look kinda gay.

Finally got a little ass time on nthe computer so heres some pics.

Heres the block that came out.

And heres the start of my bumper. I still need to trim it in and put the end caps on it but you get the basic shape of it.

winch plate

sides

tow hooks and fog lights.

Looks good. Thats EXACTLY what I wish I could find to throw my parts in since no one is buying them, haha

Speaking of which, do you have an engine in mind? Ive got PLENTY of parts if youre interested...
