I will have pictures up asap but I have been on the search for a little Toyota truck that I could use for hunting and take to Mexico for my hunting season down there as well. I was torn between a Suzuki Samurai which I have wanted for years and a little Toyota regular cab short box truck. In the end I went with the truck as it was a one owner Arizona truck and has 147,000 well maintained miles on it. I got what I feel was a really good deal so I drove down from Colorado last week to pick it up. I left my house in Windsor CO at 4pm last friday, picked it up around 1pm in Mesa on Saturday and was back in northern CO in time for my shift at the fire station at 6pm on Sunday. I was BEAT!

Plans for now are to just fix the oil pan gasket leak, change all the fluids, put some new tires on it and drive it this season to find out if there are any unknown issues before I head to Mexico for 6 weeks. If anybody has any suggestions on suspension or anything else please chime in

 

Pictures I was emailed when I had posted an ad wanting a Toyota with a 22RE engine

 

Loaded onto the trailer in Mesa AZ. It was HOT!

 

I then had to convince these guys...


to help me put this...


on here...

 

So I got my buddies to help me out and we started in on the ARB...





All done...



Next up I decided to clean up the little bit of oxidation on the paint. Phoenix can be BRUTAL on a paint job

 

been looking for one like this, cant seem to find anything! def a nice looking rig, what did you pick her up for?

 

As it sits with the truck and ARB I have just shy of $3k in it.

 

Nice looking little truck. Arizona is a great place to get a rust free truck. Looking good.

 

Good find!
