    Hey what's up guys! So got the itch for a truck again for some time now. I have a slammed miata but the power was just not cutting it and after selling my 83' I needed some toyota! Check out the new truck. It is an 88' with a 5.0 V8 swap and lots of goodies everywhere. I have big plans for it so keep tuned for its clean up and restoration.

    Yes it is set up 2wd right now. I would love to lower it and make it a fast low street truck. Pre/runner is not my thing at all. I will be trying to to source a 2wd front end and a supra rear axle and bringing it to the floor when the funds come through! Thanks for the great response guys!

    So I know it has been a while for an update. I have been busy with school and work and have had insufficient funds to work on the truck. I am starting a savings fund for the rear posi trac locker so I can get both wheels spinning :headbang: The front end is confusing me as to how I am going to lower it with it being 4x4 setup just without the tansfer case. I am not sure if drop spindels or dj arms would even fit on it. I can do a torsion drop but only so low. Smaller tires will drop me inches too. I will just have to play around with it and see when I have a chance. Here is my new toy which took all my money away from my truck. :drunk::drunk::drunk::drunk::drunk::drunk:

    I'd start with some smaller tires and se were it sits from there but I kinda like the prerunner look I'd do it up like micflys truck on back to the future !! Always wanted one like that
