Never hidden my desire for a pickup...this looks like a good solid example hopefully!
See it's been off the road a few years, MOTs show history of corrosion - what is it like underneath?

Is it wrong that I like it with the Truckman Top on? Will look great lowered and that stripe has to stay 😎 Bookmarked 👍

I hated the top .... I'm 50/50 with the stripe its abit faded and cracked either remove it or get another remade I think remade will make you happier. The stripe is really cool in a 90’s dealer kinda way. Ultimately, it is your truck. Only thing I will say is that if you plan on it as a forever keeper, then the changes you make are less important, however, remember that you have a very cool, unique vehicle, and many potential buyers may be interested in originality, so keep bits you remove, if you have space, and if you drop it, rather replace suspension components, than butchering them, like so often happens. I hope this truck makes you smile every time you look out the door or window, or walk away in a carpark.

Thanks yes it does make me smile I wasnt planning in another pickup but I have always liked the b series mazda they have a retro datsun feel about them. As for lowering these are straight forward 4 inch blocks on rear and unwind torsion bars on the front. Canopy is up for sale if anyone has a use for it I was told they fit the long bed ford rangers ....

Great little trucks! I'd either keep or have the decals remade, but that's me. They share the same PCD as Pajero's and other JDM 4x4's which means you can get some cool split-rims for not much money.

I’d be leaving the whole truck exactly as it is .
A good lowering & some wheels is all it needs .
But it’s you’re ride .
