And if you believe this I'm chinese

I'll let y'all make your own conclusions. Keep in mind I've already spent about $1000 on mods and upgrades, lol Already ordered the Part Time 4wd conversion today. Just need to find some Toyota Manual Hubs. As much as I despise cone washers, they do their job very well.

The Gas door spring was missing and the previous owners had just tied a piece of string to the mechanism so you had to open the rear gate and pull the string and simultaneously reach over and open the gas door by hand. I found a little rubber stop laying around and it was enough to pop it open when you pull the lever like normal.

Christa taking some pride in her ride; probably spent 2hrs between last night and tonight peeling the stick on chrome off of the door handles

What sort of hubs do you need? Mini truck? IFS? something else? I'll look around at the PnP next time I'm there see if there are any yota axles around.

huge difference. They should keep the druggies looking for a score from approaching the vehicle.
