These trucks were almost invisible for the past 15 years. I didn’t think they were anything special for the longest time, but lately I have seen a few that look great. The size of is perfect. Modern halfton trucks are huge and the simple older Toyota engines are cool. Nice project!

So right. Even if you add most of these mods you will end up about half the price of a new one and will be fixable in 15 years, which newer ones won't be as friendly to fix or upgrade.

This is a real world build with real timelines. Always take longer and more parts runs than anticipated. Thanks for sharing real life struggles.

It's those horrible frames that rust out so bad that give these trucks a bad rep. Other than that they are incredible and the most reliable

This truck is so cool its a nice looking truck in perfect shape, its comfortable and can be daily driven but its also capable where you can use it off-road, just an awesome rig. Its not a dedicated trail rig where its loud bumpy and not something the wife would go to town in but definitely not a Mall Crawler either, and no offense but its not another Jeep, everybody buys a Rubicon puts a lift kit and 35-37's on them. This is different, practical and really cool plus you can take the wife out on date night in it. Winning!
