Hello all, my name is Adam. I am actually a Nissan car guy, but do believe that Toyota's truly are the best vehicles made, hands down. Originally owning a 240SX that I plan to do some major work on for the next few months, I was in need of a daily driver vehicle with a/c. After searching for several months, I came across a 93 SWS pickup with 164k on the clock, for $2500. It was perfect.

Not even 3 weeks later, I have already fixed most of the very minute problems it had. The dealer installed R134 a/c system blows awesomely cold, all of the time. The clutch was replaced and transmission rebuilt in 05. One previous owner drove the truck, only replacing minor parts. I was amazed to see that it was in such great condition.

The truck included a functional alarm system. A pioneer CD player with remote amplifier, two infiniti 4" woofers and infiniti 6"x9"s in the doors. I couldn't have asked for a better deal. Since I bought this truck, I have basically neglected my other car. Just successfully completed an SR5 gauge cluster swap this afternoon (still need to change the oil pressure sender). I searched online, but could not find any information in regards to the swap until after I had already done it. I a few pictures, and could post a write up if anyone is interested. I had no idea I was shifting so early.
