    Hi guys,
    Been lurking around this forum for awhile and just thought i'd finally introduce myself. I have had a my 1995 pickup since 07' as a daily and just picked up my 75' hilux this month. Long story short on the hilux, after finding it on craigslist in bakersfield, I drove the 5 hours to pickup it up after work and drove it back the same day. Well worth it for this gem. I'll have more pics later.

    Nice truck. Barely made the pre-smog bandwagon

    Hey, I live in Santa Cruz... I just ran across your posting on how to make ur carb pass smog-- love it. Do you know if your Hilux is still passing smog (assuming u sold ur truck already)? I have an '86 4wd Toyota and want to do the same thing as you did. I just picked up a nice 32/ 36 weber and need the mounting kit. Thanks..
