Overview:

I just got this bad boy from the original owner a couple month ago for $750.  Since then I have had the entire top end rebuilt, new brakes, new filters/fluids etc.  He had it special ordered from Japan with the springs for the 4-door which is why it's a bit higher in the back as the torsion bars need a bit of tuning.  The truck came with the tires and large CB radio antenna but no CB radio.  He also ordered it with no rear interior or center console.  I have found matching pieces from a parts yard and installed them as well. 

Recent upgrades:
- removing the front towing harness

- removing the brush guard for powder coating

- remove and straighten front bumper

- new roof rack bars

- remove 10' antenna and replace with 2' Firestik

- locate and install front suspension seat for driver

- new 15X7 Black ProComp 97 Series wheels

- locate and install front grille (chrome)

- new front headlight trim (chrome)

- new Silverstar headlights

- self-made spare inset cover

- new windshield

 

Engine work:

- remove/clean heads

- new stems/seals

- new gaskets

- new rockers

- new cam (burnt valve)

- new valves

- new springs

- new plugs

- clean egr

- new O2 sensor

- new performance catalytic converter

 

 

Planned upgrades:

- 31X10.5 Tires

- tape deck mod to accept iPod for travel

 

 

These are the only pics I have right now, but will have some before after and in between pics up soon.

This is my daily driver.  Starts and runs no problem and am getting ready to do some light trailing because that's what these things are made for.

A bit more about the vehicle, it's the 3.0L V6.
