No plans to add...

But...that's because they're already there!:

Just to be clear...my "Hello McFly" comment was an allusion to the truck in "Back to the Future&quot...not directed to you, Doc.
I'm a geek, so that's what I thought you were referring to.

So...I'm gonna make like a tree and get outta here!

Nice, you gonna add wooden sides? I think it would look good. The truck looks much better with the body lift removed.

Also I had a wacky idea the other day you might like, but it's not that cheap because it requires a relocatable winch: winch-powered crane (swing arm with pulleys) on the bed near the cab. Could be useful if you often lift heavy stuff from the ground onto there.

So...here's what I'm up against with the wiring:

So...if anyone has a wiring diagram for a [roughly] '87 Toyota, I sure could use it!

Thanks,

I've got a couple .pdf's that might help, sent you a PM (I think).

No new photos today, but it now has a nice rebuilt caliper on the driver front, new brake pads, and the wheels are straightened out (directionals are directional, after all)

I will probably make some sides at some point. I do like the crane idea. I could use it to lift heavy stuff up there to move around on my new property (it's got a trench full of trash I'll need to clean up, over time).
