It's been a long time! Anybody still around? My truck never got that engine swap completed, makes me sad every time I look at it. Just wanted to say hi, and maybe reminisce about the old days of UP.

What went wrong with the 7m-gte swap?
What I learned from watching movies: When your plan for domination is foiled by a little runt, and you can't kill him... start clapping, tell him that he's "passed the test", and start making up reasons why he should join your side.
Aaron, back in the day you were one of the guys that really inspired me to build my yota! i spent alot of time looking at your webpage for your truck. ahh, the old days....
I was gona say that same thing! I remember the first IP meeting I went to when The Piece was all stock I saw Aarons truck and he had a LT kit on the front and shock hoop in the back and I remember thinking how badass it was. That was inspiration for The Piece along with "Aarons Toyota Page" lol.
Good times!
Hey thanks! That means a lot to me!
I recently had to cancel my Earthlink account and my webpage went with it
My truck is still waiting for the engine to go init, and it will be soon. The 7m-gte engine is sitting at my buddies house, and Duffco Dan already made the motor mounts for me. I got sidetracked with building up my new business (www.driftmotion.com) and my two Supras.
I remember meeting Fishy at Chuck's house and his truck was basically stock, now it's a race winning truck!!!
Your truck is sick Matt! You guys both outdid me by a lot, and I don't have the money to catch up anymore LOL
I haven't seen anyone since Greg and Jen's wedding! I will try to get my truck done and go hang out with you guys at a race or maybe we could set up a UP reunion meet!
How are all the other homies doing like Pete, Tyson, Belden, Timmah, Pat, Dan, John, etc... ?!?
hell, i pretty much copied my bedcage off of yours, aaron. think back to watching an mdr race, a few years back, and we somehow wound up in the bmx/motox track between start/finish and kfc area....tyson was there too....
I too was inspired by a ride in your truck at Railto Aaron. I have been busy trying to start/run a buisness and raise children.
That is so cool for you guys to say that! I had a lot of fun at those meetings and races, but like just like some of you, I had to put the truck aside for a little bit and get a house and get me business off the gorund.
I was going through some of my old IP pics and I found some you might remember:
Some videos that are classic:

www.driftmotion.com/Belden up-whoops.WMV
