That looks great. I have two questions though.

Whats up with the TA sitting next to the deleted body parts?

The bed is actually a clam shell RTT I picked up on the weekend. Not sure what it is yet and its just set on the frame at this point.

The TA is my buddies and its been there for years. Its almost sad to see until I realize I don't have a mustache and a cowboy hat. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

I thought is looked like a pop up tent. Very nice bro. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

My brother and I have been thinking of restoring a 6.6L TA. One just like that actually with the shaker scoop and huge screaming chicken graphics. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> If you guys were closer I'd make your buddy an offer. Don't let that thing sit too long. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" />

Yeah it is a 6.6. With a 4 speed. It is his high school car. Before my time. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

I haven't figured out much about this pop top yet other then it is big, in pretty good shape and was free. But it should be cool. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

It is going to be my Expo rig. Well camping, back country truck anyways. Expo/globe trekking is a bit of a reach I think. I have a samurai that is slightly modded for bashing duties. So the monty is going to be my livable truck. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The front bumper was built by a local fabricator for a jeep xj. I changed the brackets to suit the Mitsu. If I have time tonight I will take some pics of the tent opened up. Maybe some one here can tell me what it is. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Well I've been busy on the truck, but nothing really pic worthy. I did swap in a Gen2 4.88 front diff on the weekend. Also learned a bit about the camper shell. Its older than I am. And apparently rare. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> I hope I dont break it. Now I'm hunting out Gen2 UCA's as I could use new ball joints in the originals. So really this post is about seeing if anyone has a set they would like to sell. Please <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
