    Some plans include:
    -around a 5/4 drop
    - welded diff
    -hydro ebrake
    -2jz swap
    -15x10 center lines
    -racing seats
    And many more. I'm going to have to get use to slammed as I live in Alaska, and planning on dropping it some this weekend

    Not much has been done to the truck yet. Changed the front oil seal and power washed the bay. 2 of my exhaust manifolds somehow unscrewed out so I have a huge exhaust leak and wanting a better sound with a little more response, so I'm thinking about ordering LCE headers. I'm ordering drop spindles Friday and will be doing a BJ flip when I put them on.

    I decided to try angry eyes with plastidip but i don't like how they turned out

    The interior isn't that bad either, the worst part is the rip on my drivers side, I'm getting racing buckets soon though and will make a harness bar. My dad owns a welding/fabricating shop so that's always handy to have around.

    Is this a factory seat? I've never seen a "semi-bench" seat (in our trucks or any car for that matter) with the separate cushions and console with bench back...

    Very cool...

    I like the angry eyes. It adds attitude to the truck. Along with the 2jz going in sometime.:waytogo:

    I asked the man about it too and he said it was OEM, I think it's pretty neat also, haven't really seen this style in our trucks

    my father has had two '81 4wd Toyotas and they both had the semi split bench, so it is definitely an OEM option.

    This is pretty much the exact route I want to go with my 94. I already have the leafs, spindles and hydro handbrake. Saving for the 2j but I'm almost there. What are you doing for driveshaft and trans?

    Sweet! I should be ordering a hydro soon, along with welding the diff and gutting the floor of my bed. I havent really looked into driveshafts yet but i do want the v160 6 speed. Definitely axle swaping too. Im not in a huge hurry though, id like to get it all prepped for swap before i start freaking out

    Took a look under the truck this morning and it was definitely the slave. Leaked EVERYWHERE. Got a new one,slapped her on, and bled it out!

    From what I've been searching a 7mgte with a 7mge bellhousing and clutch will pretty much bolt right in. So I've been debating what swap to go with. Truck looks good with that drop... was thinking I needed to go more but for now that doesn't look bad at all so I think ill do my spindles with bj flip and rear leafs this weekend:waytogo:
