Nope, right now I'm fixing the frame. She was from nh, so had quite a bit of rot so I'm welding the frame up. $2000 for a 1997 Toyota t100 sr5 4x4. Just needs sum luving
$2K for a 97 Toyota with a rotted frame, which at that point is only worth is scrap value, at like $100/ton... it's worth maybe $500-700, and that's only because of the useable parts it might have.

I'd be interested to see these repairs, I've been doing this stuff for almost 20 years and I'd say 90% of frame repairs I've seen were sub par. Most Toy's I saw with rotted rails, I'm assuming rear rails? Needed full replacement back to the cab in order to keep structural integrity. If you're rotting out in one spot, it's probably thin all the way around. TOY frames are a stiffer factory frame, I wouldn't be surprised if its full of cracks being from NH and rotted. Are you doing "Z" cuts? Fishplating with at least a 1/3 overlap to the existing frame? Fuck it's leaf spring rear, cut it all off and get some 2x3 tube and build a rear section.

No, I wudnt dare. Ii did now cuz I'm legal. Man I hope my seeds get to me. I double checked and it turns out ups isn't transporting them. It's usps. So I don't think my neighbor got my seeds
Still federally illegal and there's a bunch of right wing, conservative Christian nut jobs running things now. I'm still being cautious. ...

How did you know it ran out of... nutes?
Sudden transition from healthy green growth to frank deficiency. This was my grow in '11 that got dumped from the archive at platform switchover coupla years ago. I looked at the photo chart for deficiencies and got "all of'em" as the answer. I tested the premise by watering with GH Hydro , the 3-part formulated for drain-to-waste veg. Plants greened right up. I switched mental horses and fed these plants on a drain-to-waste hydro schedule and got a solid harvest.

The motor runs great, tranny shifts great, it's a nice truck. It's worth more than 700.

With a rotted frame? Not to me it wouldn't be. I buy vehicles for $500 +/- without major issues. Most could be road worthy and inspectable for another $500 or so..I cut them up and make a couple g's. It's quicker and less hassle.

$2Gs would get me 2-3 trucks, I'd put one good one together, part the rest and probably break even. I'm BUILDING a truck, 79 ford, 12V cummins/ 5spd/ 4wd, Dana 60/80 axles, superduty springs, custom spring mounts, modified frame, blah,blah,blah.. I'll be into it for maybe $5Gs, out of pocket, when it's done, not including my labor and it won't be a 97 Toyota.

2K for a 97 Toyota sr5 4x4 is not bad

I think the chances of feds trying to bust me for having a few plants uunder mass law is highly unlikely
Ok, for starters, the State Treasurer is already fighting the home grow provision, she wants it taken away. You're telling everyone you grow, or plan on growing, with your pic right there, although it's still illegal right NOW. Alot can happen on 2 weeks. ..
What happens when the Republican led Feds crack down on the states for not abiding federal law? The MJ laws get annulled by federal law, you've gone public, now you're on the radar.

State legalization may ease the threat , but it's still there.
