Project broken lowrider hauler...

Well this was what you consider a "box" buy. I picked up a 1997 Toyota tacoma from Dave (hman1991). Its been sitting for what we can figure may be like 10 years or so. It didnt have an engine in it. Has all mismatched tires and rims, alot of spider webs, leaves, and other junk in it. Here is what it looked like a week ago when glen and I towed it from holland to his moms garage in gobles......


Here are some pics of the engine install. I have since replaced everything to stock! including factory air box.



Today I was able to drive it out of the garage!


Saturday I plan on getting new tires on factory tacoma rimz, replace the rear shocks, order new rear leaf springs, change rear diff and trans oil. I took the topper off to clean the bed liner out but may have decided to leave it off and sell it. We will see. More to come soon!

keep the topper! looks decent.

Slam the super charger on that beast

i prolly will for the move. Oh and my advice to anyone is not to buy a vehicle that has been sitting for 10 years and get it ready for a 1600 mile road trip in 2 weeks! lol

this is staying stock.

lower it.

More like mad ill sick pimp baller dope fresh legit lowrider taco status.

Imagine, if you ever needed to haul anything, it would be dumped, all you need to do is just drop the gate and roll it onto the bed. No lifting required.

its 4wd....Raise it

fixed.

cleaned it up today and put new rear shocks on! tomorrow tires and ordered new leafs for rear. All thats left is new gear oil in trans and rear diff.

So this is what you're taking back to Florida with you?

thats the plan.

Once the matching wheels are installed it will be of good purpose.

Well truck is mostly done. waiting on few parts but about 95% complete.

Rides good.,needs a straight pipe from pre muffler back... Sounds good from inside.

So what hauls the project low rider hauler when its busted?

yay for me.......

That sucks hardcore

yes it does.

some updated pics and repairs before i left....

glen and i rebuilding the engine.





replaced a rear leaf with a 2.5 inch long add a leaf.


now it needs the front leveled out dang it...

it got a new muffler, u joint, and radio the day before i left.

Alot of time and work went into this and glad we moved it to my moms. That would have been alot of driving.
