starting project-what do you think so far?

check it out, guys...after piling up parts and working on other projects for months now, we have finally gotten started on my 91 toyota. Here are a few pics...

the truck mostly stock aside from some 4 runner sheet metal

Ripping her apart

gutted, stripped, and measuring to z the frame for 20s

my buddy, j dub, says this one's gonna shock em


mocking up fender and late model tacoma bed before stock floor bd and z'd frame

raising front clip

beginnings of a stock floor body drop

we wont be needing these!

by the way, guys...all this work was done in the evenings after work and went from stock to this in about 20 hours or so...tell me what you think so far

looking bad ass...what made you decide to go with the tacoma bed?? keep the pics comming!

Nice work...

nice!

stock bed was beat up pretty bad...thought the tacoma bed would modernize the looks a litle bit...should look gret after we section about 2 inches out of the bottom of it (width-ways) and get my caddys in. (and we are either going to shave the body lines or cut the stock body line out of my stock bed and put it in that bed)Also, the tacoma bed looks good with the 4 runner fenders because of the flare they both have.

thanks guys...im really excited about this one...first mini ive owned on 20s, first body dropped truck, hopefully a lot more in store as well...ive got 1 or 2 major tricks up my sleeve for this one...also, this is the first mini ive had that ive been there 100% of the work so far and helped with and or done 60-70% of it...im an electronics and interior guy, so the metal work and fabricating is new and fun to me

Looks good man. Never seen a taco bed on a 89-95 yota. Hope you get the bodylines workin.

should of done a newer style 4runner clip and mold the taco bodyline into the pickup's doors and cab

heres a couple more...proof that i actually have been working on it..usually im taking the pictures, but damien got this blurry one of yours truly taking off the passenger doorwhats left of the stock frame being used for the stock floor body drop...

also, i forgot my camera the last time we worked on it, but since then, the remaining stock frame piece has been tubed with 2 inch square 1/4 inch tubing...

i think it will look fine with the 95 clip, and after all, i want it to be different
