Toyota T-100

Hello once again! I thought I should put in a pic of the new to me truck that I bought!
So here it is! Not too bad for a 93 T-100! One thing I didn't know was that in Arizona you don't
give up your license plate when you sell your vehicle! So I found this out after I bought this truck! I had to go down to the nearest Library and go online to the MVD of Arizona and pay money for a 3 day pass and print it out and put it on the window for the police to see! So I did!
Then I found out that the truck had a locking gas cap and no key! I called the guy back and asked and he had thrown them away a week earlier not remembering that they went to anything! So I used my leatherman and made short work of the cap and filled the tank! It drove home without a glitch! So it stayed parked there until today when I went to get it changed into my name and plated! That is when I found out it needed to go through emissions! A first for me! So I found out where the place was and got in line. 30 minutes later my truck was being tested! After the test and paying $27.75 they told me it FAILED! So I had to park it and go inside to talk to their personnel ! It was nerve racking but I went she told me it was the carbon filter system and we went out for her to show me! It ended up being a hose unconnected and I
plugged it back in and got back in line! This time after another 30 minute wait it passed! And
I was off to the license place! Got my plate and title and I am legal to drive the truck now! Jon
