Courage, man! Look directly into the light, not away from it. When you do, you’ll see that Chris Geiger’s ’83 Toyota pickup has turned into a ray of possibility. Like most 4x4 owners, Chris wanted it all. He wanted a daily driver. He wanted a project. He wanted the ultimate tackle-any-trail/smooth-on-road co-conspirator for his adventures on killer trails like Johnson Valley, the Rubicon, those at Panamint Valley, and Moab.
Versatility and doability are the key concepts in the Toyota’s design. The truck, used for on-road off-road performance, has on-again, off-again removable half doors. Bright yellow skin, durable lightweight power, and a heavy-duty rollcage aren’t the only features and components that draw attention to the yellow screamer. The photos show more of what Chris did to build his favorite Toy.
