    ugly truck

    4 grand obo?
    In addition to how it sits right now (new front housing and knuckles, longfields, lockrite, vented rotors and all) you get my other uncompleted projects:
    the bent tubing, diamond plate, lights, etc to build a rear cage and I'll show you what I had in mind for it. may need another half a stick or so to finish it out
    square tube rocksliders (not your garden variety though...) about 75% fabbed...rear cage is intended to tie into them
    mostly fabbed rear bumper/replacement crossmember, also ties into the cage
    extra transfer case so you can spend the $300 on an adapter and have dual cases (I'll need a month or so to get the extra tcase to CS)
    extra tcase crossmember and metal to make a higher-clearance skidplate
    metal, bushings, heim, etc to make antiwrap bar (not wheelable until this is built, since I think the new rear spring packs are pretty soft)
    helicoil sets and new gaskets to make the header seal
    later model clutch/flywheel set (93 I think? it's got like 20% more surface)
    matching spare rim (no tire)
    towbar
    various spare parts

    drivetrain is stock '85/'87 yota stuff with the little extras (hex head drain plugs, heavy duty shifter seat, etc)
    about 220k on the stock 22re, about 20k on metal-backed timing kit
    header, high-flow cat, summit muffler
    rear springs up front with some stock front leafs mixed in, custom dropped spring hanger, budbuilt boomerang shackles
    all-pro high steer
    schedule 40 (.25 wall) rear driveshaft, front square tube driveshaft
    4.10 gears, welded rear end

    I will help yank the knuckles apart and clearance them for the longfields (because I couldn't figure it out at 3am after putting 15 hours into it last saturday) but I'm selling because I don't have time for it (and I'm broke), so I'm not going to help work on it.
    shoot me a pm or email (ericbranton@yahoo.com) if you're interested or know somebody who might be. It's sitting on Munson between Harvey and University Oaks (behind the Tap).

    I didn't expect this coming after all the work you put into the new front axle, tires, and rear cage. I hope you aren't leaving wheelin' for good.

    He won't be on the boards for a few days to answer questions, but he doesn't plan on leaving the sport. I think selling the truck has been a real hard decision for him, but one he feels is necessary for him at this time

    I would not pay that much for it only because I refuse to seperate you from it. Keep it, you will regret it if you dont.

    i dont know your situation really... but would 4k help out so much that it will justify you selling ugly and not regreting it?

    you really need to think about switching to Sam's cola, its much cheaper, and they always have it in bulk.

    I thought about a student loan to buy it, insurance wouldn't be much, but then I figured ide be screwed w/ two rigs and no tow vehicles. and it would be irresponible and a certain significant other would probably shoot me

    you just gotta learn when to duck to avoid being hit.
