So here is the story of my Toyota Pickup that I am currently building into an expedition rig. I am currently a student at the University of North Carolina Ch...

I really had no intentions to get another lifted truck or even something to build up as it was going to be my daily driver. At first I looked at buying a new car, but no dice, being a college student with no steady job meant Id have to buy a really suck car and make payments I probably couldn't afford. So off to craigslist I went for my search. My main criteria was to find a vehicle that was both reliable and easy to work on and of course had to be within my price range which at the time was 5 grand since that was all I had to my name. Knowing Toyota and Honda had a great reputation for having reliable vehicles I looked to those brands first. I finally found this lil guy on craigslist one day. At first I really didn't think I could buy it since the owner priced the truck really high at almost 7k for an 84 toyota. Although I thought it was high I thought maybe it was worth a shot at going to look at it. After looking at the truck and driving it, I loved the way it felt but there was no way I was paying 7k for the truck. After talking to the owner for a bit we settled on a price of 4500. So I have 500 to spare for other expenses. Show Less
