Needs carb fine tune but runs fantastic.
Started on the second kick.

My son worked all summer 40+hrs a wk and cut grass on saturdays to buy this truck a couple wks ago. Finally got the title on Friday so we’re off to the registry on Monday (yay).....
Best part is he bought it himself and hopefully will show it respect (take care of it)
2004 Toyota Tacoma 4x4
He wanted a standard (clutch) good so none of his friends can drive it.
140,000 miles / new timing belt, water pump, clutch- new frame last yr due to the Toyota callback thing
Drives great
Won’t be road legal until Monday/ and he’s already adding accessories

Put the old girl to work today knocking down brush and exploring the area. Hadn’t even started her since TF 2016. Pilot jet was totally plugged, but only one tire needed air.

Purchased off ebay from seller "CityofCollectables" store, made and shipped from Hong Kong. Has many models available, Ken Tam was a good guy to work with. Didn't have front rubber guide mounts welded in place or the gas valve bung (adapter) installed which allowed me to place where I needed them for clearance.

Dropped the 250R frame off at the powdercoaters, and got home to find a pair of radiators waiting for me on the doorstep.

Pretty stoked for the sun to come up, today! Just going to pull my brothers car out of a cocoon of empty boxes. It’s been at my folks place under cover for 33 years. Dads ready to let it go. Really wondering how it has persevered.

Just messin’ around w/plastic. Just passing along the pics I figure it’s a little slow around here so why not.
I always wanted to try clear/ well ok it’s not totally clear but it’s as close as this particular mix can get.
Loading pics then heading to Walmart w/wife.........oh what fun.
Later,
