My new T100; Build to follow

[McMichem]

Hello everyone, I am a long time EP browser and finally made an account after buying my new project. After years of having a mild offroad vehicle just to hit logging trails and such I have finally bought my first project. My past vehicle was a 1996 R50 pathfinder with 4" lift on 31's, I personally wanted to get away from Unibodies so I sold it.

I also have a 93 Toyota pickup with 290k on the 3.0 and a 91 4runner with 301k on its 3.0, the body being too nice on the 4runner to really offroad.

On to the new vehicle, a 1995 T100 with 285k miles, that runs excellent, it has some issues but I bought it knowing full well it would need a little work. The vehicle will see a lot of snow, mild trails and will for a while be my DD. I am new to the T100's and the 3.4L's, could you guys tell me what you think of the truck and if you think I got a pretty good deal for a whole $900?

6" suspension lift
3" Body lift
well used 35" bfg AT's
Stock gearing

In the future I plan on getting into some lower gearing and possibly an air locker.

Looks like a pretty good buy for $900.

That's a lot of rust, but I guess guys from up north don't mind the rust! That's a steal for a truck like that. Gotta love the diamond plate mud flaps!! Not a fan of body lifts, but hey, nice truck man!!!

Could be turned into a great trail rig. I say ditch the body lift; trim a little if you have to, although you shouldn't have to with 6" of lift. Re-gear for your tire size and throw a Detroit in the rear end. Then wheel the heck out of it. You'll be surprised with where a locked rear end, proper gearing, and driver skill can take you.
I've almost bought a T-100 a couple times but they all had autos and I still like to shift gears. Good luck with the build.
