So, funny story...Yesterday I found an item crashed and parked next to a dumpster for disposal:



I contacted the local Police Department and reported it as abandoned property. Nobody had reported it stolen, and they said it was mine. I can't even believe this typing it. Anyway, so today I bought a set of ramps, took off the seriously damaged grille guard, and loaded it up in the back of my girlfriend's truck (Don't worry, I properly inflated the tires and secured it in the bed):




Then I had some serious fun:





EZGo ST Sport II Off-Road - YouTube

I plan to tighten all the loose bolts for the roof that I found today, and patch together the front clip...Then...I don't know. I guess drive it around like crazy some more lol. We drove it hard for 6 hours straight, no damage, no issues, and we burnt about 2 gallons of gas.

Also, while out there, I found two tires on aluminum Jeep rims...so, if anyone needs a pair. Lol.

Thanks! Well, once I got the tires properly inflated it looked a lot better. Believe it or not that little Toyota is a 3/4 ton lol. So it handles it well.

A 1986 Suzuki Samurai.
Rear bumper is now on it. Runs like a top. Loads of things to fix and tinker. Everything that matters works.
