My First Truck
Well after about 8 years of saving christmas money and birthday money.. i finally saved up enough money to buy my first Vehicle (im 16 years old). It is an 85 Toyota Pickup SR5/22RE.. The guy i bought it off of was a shadtree mechanic.. Actually I wouldnt even call him that.. he was more like a Stump Mechanic.. He replacerd the automatic lokcing hubs with the manual ones and only put 1 nut back on it even without the snap ring.. Anyways lets get back to the point. Here is a picture:
I am far from done with it..
So Far:
Truck - 1500$
Wheels - 100$
Lift Kit - 500$
New Hub - 50$
All New Brakes - around 250$ because we replaced everything (including drums)
that isnt everything but thats the major stuff.. I know i messed up buying the lift kit because i bought it before i knew about the chevy kits and everything
But anyways what i got was a 3" Rough Country kit.. i would have went bigger but i didnt have the money..
** LOOKING FOR A SET OF 33x12.50x15's!
Lift Kit: (biggest mistake ive made)
