1990 SR5 Beach Bum Wagon: Take 2

[DamageInc]

Ok so about a year ago I was hurting for a cheap truck, so I found this 1992 T4R for $1200. I drove it daily for a bit and loved and hated it a lot. I wheeled it a few times and really started seeing the potential that these trucks have and kind of became addicted....lol

So Beach Bum wagon #1 served it's purpose for the time I needed it and I was driving it until about 2 weeks ago when I had a brake line blow. While under the truck I started noticing more and more stuff it needed and started looking around for another truck that was in nicer condition. By chance I found one within 2 blocks of me. Truck spent 95% of its life in California and the body (aside from the crunched fender) is IMMACULATE. Not a spec of rust on it or the frame.

Truck #1:



Truck #2 So Far:




Plans are to swap all the goodies from the black one onto the red one and build the red one to be a respectable wheeler on 33s.

Looks nice. I always like that color

On the 98 I had, it had a bent up fender too. With some time, tape, and spray touchup paint, I got it looking good from 10+ feet. It had been bondo'd once before, and with the addition of that I probably could have gotten it to 95%.

Enjoy it!

Progress has been insanely slow. Truck still needs a good cooling system flush and some time dedicated to it before i can start driving it. Hopefully Sunday will be a nice enough day to finish her up.

Until then.

what parts are you transferring from the black truck to the red one?
