New here- Wisconsin

[cruzinfj1]

New guy here in Wisconsin. Been a Toyota guy since the mid 90s. Current rig is a LX450, that I don't baby at all. 3 link front, 40s, takes better pics than it looks in person, but still able to drive to work once a month or so.... every body panel has a story. Ive got another 80, that's stock, and am building a 45(ish) truggy on tons/LS/stickys/all the good stuff. Thanks for having me!!

Got the tires today, so spent the afternoon mounting them up. Still a long ways to go, but making progress…

A 75 series truggy will be sweet!!!!

This started out as a bare fab'd chassis that I started to mold a 79-83 cab onto it. Just as I was getting rolling on it, I went to the Jefferson Fall swap meet and found this 40 shell. Came from Arizona, so not rusty, but was just that- a shell. I've always been a huge fan of the 40 series, and kick myself for getting rid of the two that I had through the years. BUT, Ive also always been a fan of the 79-83 mini trucks also. I'm still picking up pieces parts for the mini truck, so that'll probably be the next one. Have an '02 Tacoma in the shed also in line......
