It is an "88 Toyota pickemup truck 4x4, up here in Maine we all have hick trucks and 4-wheelers
It has a dump bed, fully sandblasted and painted and detailed underneath, 3" body lift, 4" suspension lift, Three sets of rims and tires, 32's, 35's, and 38's. cut out Fenderflairs, fastback, visor, highly polished stainless steel skid plates, 3" aluminumized exhaust with header and Flowmaster mufler. 24 thousand original miles, original paint and never seen snow or salt. It has only been offroad twice and it just takes way to long to clean it back up to show quality so it doesn't go in the mud any more. I say show truck because that is all I do with it, but I have only brought it to three shows over the years one first place in 2000 and one second place trophy in "99, but since I bought my Lightning all my time and mod money goes into that. And now that I just bought a new daily driver I need to do a whipple supercharger, full exhaust, air intake, bigger wheels, and some interior upgrades on it. So I will have to wait a little while before I do any more mods to the Toyota. And I'm the type of guy that if I don't do any changes or add any new parts then I don't like to show it. People have already seen it the way it is so after I do some more things that I plan to do to it I will start showing it again.( V-8 conversion, custom wood and stainless steel bed, more shocks, higher dump body, bigger lift, etc.

Fast Gator,
It looks like you have some nice mods to put on, I am sure you will enjoy it in your new garage, It is a lot better than on the driveway.
Congratulationg on your new home, it really is nice to own your own house.
Bill

I have to agree with the guys here. It's often overlooked when buying a car or truck but a great "mod". My old house had a three bay and the new one has a two bay but at least it's something. The Lightning and the 5.0 Mustang are in and my wifes 2002 SuperCrew sits outside.
