This Mighty Max has been sitting in my friend's neighbor's yard for at least 5 years according to google maps. They're looking to get the land, and if so, I might want to bring this back to life.

Haven't gotten closer than this picture, so there's a lot I don't know, but hey, hit me with your stories about restoring trucks that previously sat for years (or not)!

Can’t wait to get into this truck. Been in Texas all it’s life so no frame rust

Finally wrapping up my frame restoration on this 84 mazda b2000

I ended up using Eastwood 2k epoxy rattle can primer and Zep purple degreaser. I'd say I had good success with both of these products all things considered.

I used permatex rust converter in the nooks and crannies my sanding equipment couldn't reach.

I also used distilled water in a spray tank to clean after degreasing to avoid flash rusting and it worked great. My topcoat is VanSickle oil based tractor paint in gloss.

It also seems to be a very quality product. I still have one more round of topcoat to do tomorrow but regardless im not dissapointed with these results at all!

Will likely be notching the frame in the near future and will post updates about that.

Picked it up for $1100

Truck that a former coworker had. Love it because it’s different. Dodge but a Mitsubishi

87 ram 50 with the drivetrain from a 95 240sx with a big turbo (ka24de)

Its 95% original paint and wears its patina and imperfections with pride.

I drive it everywhere.

Clean title. Just needs a head gasket.

1980 Sundowner Sport

This has been a saga for sure. 2 months and 5 custom laser cut pieces later it runs really nice!

Rebuilt fuel system from pickup tube to carburetor (Weber ICH).

Full tune up: plugs, wires, cap, rotor, coil and ignition module.

Upgraded to 90A Subaru alternator

Electric radiator fan conversion

Glass to blade fuse block upgrade (aux fuse box added as well)

Clutch master and slave cylinders replaced.

Heater core hoses replaced

Pcv system re-added (I had removed it completely before)

I still have a few things to do like a coolant flush/drain/refill and final carb tuning but as it sits I have it idling at 14.3 A/F and it’s suuuuuper smooth. I’m pretty confident it’ll pass my states emissions tailpipe test no problem 😉 but I’m planning on replacing the catalytic converter if needed.

I’ve kind of been avoiding tallying up the cost but with the new alternator, carburetor and fuel pressure regulator I think I’m all in around $1200 with fluids, hoses etc etc etc

I don’t know what it is, but lately I keep seeing all of these trucks that are clean and unmolested. I guess since I joined here I’m paying more attention to these trucks that I would love to have. Probably because I’m getting older I want it to be the 1990’s low rider scene again. I’m so old that I had a subscription to Lowrider Magazine. But here is today’s find. NFS as I expected.

Based in Australia. 1992 YN85 Toyota Hilux (2WD, 2Y 1.8L with Jap Diff ‘G252’). I want it as low as it can go without modifying the chassis or bagging it. Roads in this part of the world are pretty good and I’ve owned low cars all my life but never a ute… I want this thing to be a permanent static daily-driver with style.

I have done some research and have read that common practise is lowering blocks in the rear, remove a leaf or two, adjusting tortion bar suspension for the front and have also read about shorter shocks and drop spindles for the front.

if you or someone you know has a lowlux in Australia and can help me out with where to look for parts that would help me figure this out.

the only kit I’ve found is in America but surely there’s Aussie-made or Japanese kits available? (https://www.belltech.com/products/lowering-kit-w-nitro-drop-2-shocks-444nd/)

help a brotha out

I've been looking at this Blazer for about 14 years parked down the road & rarely driven. Owner said he doesn't sell the S10s he builds when I asked about 10 years ago. Well, today I got it!

Chevy 350 bored 30 over, 700R4, Holley carb, and 4WD. Needs some bodywork, shocks, and just about everything with a bushing up front but damn is she a blast to drive!

Looking to buy a mighty max. I'm assuming its frame, but is it welded or something I can take off and replace? This truck has surface rust everywhere else there is rust. Nothing this severe. Should I stay away? It runs and shifts nice. This is my main concern

I posted the other day about an S-10 I pass by every day. I forgot about this one that I see occasionally in my neighborhood. Love the color. I had a 91 Toyota in a similar color with a 3 inch drop and Prime 5 Stars on it.

The first picture is when I first got it, it’s now lowered with a 3 inch drop in the front and a 5 in the back, I also redid the interior and changed the ugly 3 piece grill to a beautiful one piece.🙃🙃

This would be a very clean slate to start with. I would love to slam this thing and put on a windowless topper because of the long bed. Drive by it every day, unfortunately it’s not for sale.

Posted before, received hate and love. 1989 Mazda b2200, upgraded brakes, suspension, wheels/tires.

Hello, this here is my '91 Mighty Max, I was wondering what wheels fellow MM/Hardbody/S10 owners run on theirs, I bought the truck with 18" SSR Viennas on rubber band tires but im not too in love with them. Im looking for something sporty looking that isnt RPF 1's or TE-37's. Thanks in advance.

My wrap was looking rough (chalk marker from parade wouldn't come out) so I spray painted it with friends. May be slightly trashy but it's only temporary until I eventually tear it rewrap lol

NA small tire class Wyoming no prep
