I bought the truck in December of 2018 after i wrecked my 2003 v6 4wd tundra. The body of the truck was badly rusted but that would all get fixed later.

I threw on some bald Tacoma take off wheels and tires and put my roll bar i had from my old tundra in it plus my cb radio which broke.

 

fast forward to july 2019 a couple of things happened I got lucky and found a bunch of rust free body parts that came from arizona for really cheap so i ended up with a
Bed
three doors
hood
driver side fender which got destroyed by a failing ball joint
Ill add pictures when i find them

 

Sweet...your 2nd pix answers my need to know what it looks like when a fake Ivan executes a Crazy Ivan at the bottom of the hour. Any plans to enter this vehicle in one of the many overland endurance runs/races...worth a thought, line up some sponsors and go for it.

 

Well just picked up a jeep rear bumper and soon a tiregate off a chevy to modify to the truck might post what i did

 

I plan on building it with a long travel kit and going for it or just getting a rear lockers and sending it at one

 

Capable looking rig! Looking like lots of fun!

 

a shit box that's rust free for Chicago

 

Thats why i imported mine from Florida... by way of previous owner rolling over down I65. LOL
