Hope you like lots of pics! :lol:

So I probably won't have anything to interesting to show you for a couple months once I have the new frame finished but here is where I am right now.

Just a little background, I never thought I would actually own this truck here are some pics from the past.

Here is a pic of Johnny and I racing back in 2003 I want to say. Yes Toyotas and Rangers are slow :lol: My Ranger ran a 17.2 and beat the Toyota by about a car Length oh well.

Image

These are from back in 2004 after I finished bagging the truck for Johnny.

Front
Image

Side It bottomed out on the inner fenders at the time but eventually it would bottom out on the bags before laying frame.

Image

Rear Shot You can see my Ranger in the background

Image

In 2006-2007 Johnny decided he wanted a body drop and wanted to do it by himself. A body drop is alot of work to do especially if you havn't done alot of welding and fabrication before. He got part of the way through the cab before he sold it to me.

*Now Closer to the Present These are some shots how I picked it up from Johnny in January 08

On Trailer

Sitting at his house

Alright here is my starting point. Truck at my house

Front after I sold the grille, lights, bumper etc to Vegas

Image

Side

Image

Bed you can see where he cut the notch and lowered it to get more lift for the body drop.

Image

I'm glad he never cut the bed or got that far into the body drop, it will be easier on me.

Image

Image

Interior, I'll take more once I remove the carpet and cut out the floor.

Image

Engine

Image

First task is to take everything apart and sell what I'm not going to use. I'm going to be swapping in a 1uz Lexus 4.0L v8 so the first thing to go is the motor.

Alot of parts were disconnected or half way put back together so it made things easier :D

Image

I'm sure I'm going to need help from you guys when everything is put back together!

Image

I noticed that the inner fenders were cut up pretty good and not connected to the core support so I went ahead and took off the fenders and cut the rest and removed the core support to get the engine out. I'm glad Toyota Fenders have more bolt holes on the cab then a Ranger!

Image

Yada yada Engine is out.

Image

Here is what I found when i took everything out. Half way finished Z. Doesn't look good but was strong enough to allow me to jack the truck up by the front crossmember.

Image

Image

More to come I'm sure

Nothing really major to update, I hope to have the cab & bed pulled this weekend to start getting some frame measurements.

Cleaned Firewall - need any parts? pm me

And my frame table waiting on me to hurry up and start the new frame :lol:

Small Update: The more I take it apart the more I hate it. I'm pretty sure everything is square on the cab but after I pulled the cab of the frame I guess it broke his welds on the passenger side floor so the body moves up and down over the floor if you touch it on the right side. I really thought he finished more than this!!! ...:twisted:

Oh well

Frame ready for rebuild (side project)
Image

Note: Pulling a cab is possible by yourself but not fun :lol:

Finally finished my adjustable body cart...I'll make it look pretty later
Image

There she is in the corner, one more body cart to build for the bed woot
