My Canadian Bacon Toyota

Hey all, my names Brad, and this is my 1992 Toyota pickup. It started with a friend of mine buying it and wanting to build a cool driver, so it got picked up from the dealership on the trailer, and backed right into the garage. Level 1 Miniz started the work on it, by bodydropping it and juicing it, with factory leafs, however it was a project that got forgotten about by the owner.

It sat in many carports, and storage units, for a few owners, I eventually found it back up for sale with all factory suspention still intact, but only a round notch, and a half finished bodydrop. It had a mess of electrical issues because of wire harnesses being cut through, and day time running light modules missing.

It definatly needed some lovin, but I wanted to build a cool daily. So I went and bought it from mazdawgn once I tracked it down. I drive it rain, sun or snow still to this day, however I prefer the sun since I have another set of wheels.

This was the closest picture I could find of it when it was when I bought it.

I at first bagged it with mono leaf and manual valves just to get me going while I saved for electrics.

I then decided it was time to go to the 21st century and add electrics and 4 link it.

I got a set of dropped motor mounts from Seth, when he first decided to sell them, it worked great for me, because I needed to clear and OEM hood, and the 4" bodydrop was a little excessive. I ran a factory toyota A/C Compressor for my air, and ran an air dryer to keep the system clean. I also had to get a little creative with my intake routing because my engine bay was a little cramped at this point.

I like the intake with the 180!

At this point, my wifes car slid down the driveway and smashed into my truck in the snow. So I figured it was a good point to repaint the truck. I also made the mistake of suiciding my doors, then switching them back to stock.

It made for a waste of time, but have good experience.

So now that its at my bodyshop I was able to get started on it, so I went and called up hot hues and ordered up some paint for the beast.

OH SO SWEET. I dont want to go to bed because I dont want to miss anymore updates.

looke great, and not only because its canadian
