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.

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.

At this point I decided I didnt like my previous bag job so I wanted to re-do my rear suspention, and engine bay, I didnt like how cluttered it was.

Damn, that totally sucks! That snow we had was brutal hey? I just moved to the island from Alberta to get away from the snow and then this happens. I guess it's my fault. Where on the island are you? I live in Victoria and am happy to see that there are fellow minitruckers. Are there any clubs that you know of?
