Hi from Ga U.S.

Post by lovetowrenchit »

Hi from Ga, U.S.
I have read good thing about this forum, and are happy to be a member. I'm currently working on a 1988 Toyota pickup 4x4 which belongs to my Boss. I'm replacing the front half shafts, and a few other things for him. I hope I can get more in depth information (because the OTC shop manual is crap) on how to do this job.

I look forward to enjoying all that this site has to offer, thanks for allowing me to join! :)

thanks for all the "Welcomes" :)
I will take a pic of the Toyota today, and post it for ya to see...I will also say that my Boss is the original owner of this truck, he has no plans of getting rid of it any time soon Lol
It has been daily driver, until he purchased a Harley:)

as promised, 1988 Toyota Pick Up! it's all original except for paint. The silver was faded, so years ago my boss decided to give the old girl a facelift:)
The truck is a 5 speed, with AC and roll up windows, vinyl floor mat, seat, basic gauges,and I believe the original radio, not sure but sure looks like it.
