The most correct sticker i have ever had on any vehicle, lol. I have 2 more on the way, i hope they are here on Monday.

Finally got around to replacing the shocks, i don't know...they may have had some life left in them, lol.

Got the valve gasket done, i cleaned up the cover as much as i could, sure looks better. I got the full gasket set with new rubbers too, the old ones were leaking.

I was surprised to see how clean the top end was.

Got a new topper yesterday, and spent all day cleaning it...it sat under a walnut tree for a long time, and i buffed out the old faded paint on the truck, it was a long day but so worth it.

When there is a violent storm on the way and you have a $1000 deductible, no garage, and you love your Toyota.

My DJM lowering blocks from Summit Racing arrived this morning.

When i got the truck the oil was black like tar, so i went and had some 5W 20 put in it from a shop, i ran that for a few days before changing the oil myself with good oil and a WIX filter. It really made a difference.

Put my new shocks on this morning, while it's really not bad for a 1995 midwest Toyota, it's got some rust under there. Will have to pull the box, get it cleaned up and throw on some POR 15.

The day i picked up my new $25 topper...2 days later i broke the back glass out of it, lol.

I took the plastic bed liner out so i could go get the new topper, and for an Iowa truck i was surprised to see how nice the floor was. Good thing i took the liner out too, there were tons of dead leaves and stuff under it and the floor now has some rust on the drivers side i will need to fix.

Getting the exhaust welded up, just standard exhaust for now, there's way to much work i gotta do before spending the cash for nice exhaust.
