Haha good show. We do some runs with a hummer club. They're so heavy they sink into everythin probably like this F250, But they don't want to know anything from us liittle toyotas. And that's good cause i don't want to winch out an H1 with my Gen 1. Pretty cool to watch them do it though.
Anyhow. This build is looking good. Gonna make t4r of the month soon enough. I like the 2 tone paint.

He's been in the running a couple times already--a few more tweaks and this rig will be taking the prize soon enough!

Time to start building!!!
I traded off a drum set to a welder friend of mine who will build my sliders and rear bumper!!! Work starting in the next week or so.
The MR2 is tagged and insured. I had to fix a few issues on it, but she is good to go now. I pulled the Minnow in to the garage tonight and there it will stay for a bit. I still have a strange coolant leak, so I plan on tearing down the engine until I find it. Worse case scenario is that she gets a top half rebuild.
I'll be yanking off the tail gate and doors. I'm going to fix the wiring with a connector for easy re-installation. I'm going to paint the inside with truck bed liner. Rewire the rear window as well when I get a new tailgate.
I'm also starting the chop top, so wish me luck.

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! The Minnow is in pieces!
Still trying to nail down the coolant leak. Broke a bolt of in the block while pulling the water pump. I'll have to re-tap the threads before I can put it back in.
In my spare time, Slave labor #1 and I gutted the interior in prep for bed liner and the chop top.
While we had her all torn apart, we took a wire brush and sand paper to the Addicted Offroad front bumper. Then we primered it.
Next few days should be productive. I'd like to get the tubes back on, but I'm waiting to see if Mother Nature allows.

I had a shop do mine when I put OME goodies under my first Runner, because I didn't have all the tools or help to get it done--when pulling out the old rusted torsion bars, the adjuster bolts didn't survive the process. Might want to have a couple new ones ready.
