Took the Tercel out for its first drive since I aqquired it. Runs great but the entire suspension need shocks and struts. Its gets a horrible vibration at about 40mph.
Then I get it off road had fun. heres some pics.

SWERRRRRRRRRRRRRRD! ;) I love it! =) What size tires and wheels are you running and what brands and models are both of them? How did you two-tone the Tercel to look more LTD-style and painted the fenders to look like they were flared? oh and you should add PACER FlexyFlares universal plastic fender flares to the Wagon and make it look even more aggressive! ;) SWERD! ;) Wish we could trade Tercs given you converted yours to an Automatic or if I tried to actually drive the manual in yours, lol! ;)

The paint job is actually rattle can! if you can believe it. the wheels came off some isuzu. the tires are Goodyear Wranglers 225/70/14's
Found air shocks to put on the back! will add at least 2''more clearance. And Im gonna do KYB inserts on the front. I belong to an 86 corolla club and plan on do a 4AGZE swap and lsd rear end.

when driving off-roading and holes and dips , then releize 4Wd rear suspension are quiet similar as Range Rover rear suspension (right wheel in the inner wheel well while left wheel way out ) considering larger tire might get stuck in the rear inner wheel well and grab (like unable freely turn the wheel)
